The author of the Slate piece makes some interesting and valid points. One I do not agree with is that as a fan of Bruce Springsteen it is all or nothing. I consider myself a devoted fan, but there are many pieces of his work that I do not appreciate, his last album being one of them. To say that it is either black or white with Mr. Springsteen is just not true. There is a sense of tolerance with his work, and perhaps even his politics, agree or disagree, all are welcome.
