Sorry but I know of his earlier stuff and its all the same. And you guys speak about Passion and Emotion. That isn't that hard to write into your songs and to sing it. For Springsteen he's not that emotional when he even delivers his music. Plus on that comment do you think people like that should out due those who practice and practice and refine there song writing capabilities everyday and hope to make it to the big. Personally I respect the guy for how long he's been around but he needs to give up and give younger and better artists a chance.-

Well, I think DS has done a pretty good job already saying what I need to say.

All of his earlier stuff isn't the same. He has a great take on harder living, wanting to get away, Vietnam war, etc. It is hard to write and play true passion into your songs. Look at all the contrived music we have on the airwaves today. He's very emotional when he delivers his music. I have no idea how you come up with that. Refine their songwriting capabilities? Songwriting isn't about sitting down everyday for two hours and trying to pull something out. You either have it or you don't. Sure people are still going to like what you are bringing to the table I'm sure, but there is a huge difference. As Bruce says you don't want to try and contrive spontaneity. Bob Dylan has the same view on this subject. No musician should give up as long as they still have it. There's enough room for everyone.
