Tony,
That’s pretty rich coming from Springsteen, who has become a multi-millionaire pop-icon writing “about America”. His populist rhetoric doesn’t quite jive with his monetary acumen. And like most successful pop-icons, he is a pretty egotistical person outside of the public view. He was raised a Catholic boy, I wonder what he thinks of some of the above comments about the cultural attacks on people of faith?

He’s quite theatrical in it all, I’ve seen him in concert a couple of times (27 years ago last). But the juvenile notions that he promotes are pretty much out of sync with his real life, and most people’s real lives.. I out grew him a long time ago.

Like many other pop-culture figures, he says one thing in public, but practices quite another thing in his own life.

So as P.T. Barnum said, there’s a sucker born every minute. Many were in Philly today. So it goes.
