TEARING THE BOSS A NEW ONE. Al Barger really, really doesn’t like The Rising the new, 9/11-influenced album by Bruce Springsteen, and, in perhaps the ultimate put-down, says:
Even Al Gore would likely have come up with more interesting attempts at songwriting than this.
Ouch.
I haven’t bought The Rising yet, and I don’t know if I will, simply because Bruce basically lost me as a listener right around the time of Tunnel of Love. But all of his 1970s albums are certainly worth checking out (as if you didn’t own them already).
