I wouldn't say I love the guy, but I do dig a lot of his music. Nebraska is classic lo-fi folk (great music for a sober night) and Born To Run is sublime as well. As for his 80s stuff, I don't like it all, but Dancing In the Dark and Brilliant Disguise are both great pop songs.

The simple fact that the man's live shows are notorious for being upwards of 3 hours long is enough to merit my respect, but ensure I never go to one of his gigs lol.

saddly i thought this was gonna be about my fav bruce,..
