There is only so much of a working class hero you can be if you're loaded, and have been so for at least two decades. He seems like a nice guy though! Precisely Keith.

I never really got into the whole idea of him being the voice and face of the working class man. Heck, he's made millions of dollars and lives as well off as any other celeb could.

Just this morning I was preparing for a day back at work by listening to his miserablist classic Nebraska. It's hard to believe now that Bruce was once feted as the American rock music's great new hope. I've heard Danny Baker for one, ruminating many times on how Bruce's first gigs in London were absolutely mindblowing, both in their anticipation and in their delivery. And the Live at Hammersmith Odeon album is pretty damn good - http://www.amazon.co.uk/Hammersmith-Odeon-London-75-2CD/dp/B000E97X66/ref=sr_1_17?ie=UTF8&s=music&qid=1234872484&sr=1-17 Yes, Briddlington Fiddler... speaks of other times doesn't it?! Like the movie 'The Gay Divorcee'... Be careful now, PM, I like Bruce Springsteen, despite his everyman schtick!

Yes, Briddlington Fiddler… speaks of other times doesn’t it?! Like the movie ‘The Gay Divorcee’…

(and as a protest put my guitar through a Born In The Usa poster, live and onstage in my gigging days - circa '85) Apparently he wasn't always like this - when Bowie picked up on him around 74 - there are photos of a young beardy Bruce and ivory coloured, skeletal ( eyebrowless and with a RED beret) Bowie at the Young American sessions - which saw Bowie covering an early Springsteen tune. Do you think the moniker - 'Bridlington Fiddler' may have possibly handbraked Jim's career... Now that’s more like it – I’ve always found Bruce Springsteen, and his everyman anthems deeply boring..
