As this is in essence a pointless comparison anyway, let's have your thoughts on
Bruce Springsteen vs A plank of wood
I mean, yeah, think about it: Springsteen's a great singer, excellent songwriter and all-round good egg, but where is he when you need to board up a window or a door? Bloody useless, right? And if you want to make a makeshift table with breezeblocks, no point using Springsteen as the flat surface.... Pretty pointless to try varnishing or painting him either.
