I hope he brings the wrecking ball with him.

In the discussion for the most over rated act in the history of rock music.

So far, we've got The Police, Dave Matthews, Paul McCartney, and now Bruce Springsteen.

If the, shall we say, tone of concerts at Wrigley hasn't been intimated loudly enough yet, I can only assume the next act will be a Dixieland Band.

Wrigley Field has become quite a concert venue in recent years. Springsteen & Pink Floyd's Roger Waters coming to town are proof of Wrigley's growing appeal among non-baseball fans.

Yes.

He has some strong stuff, no doubt, but it's floating in a ton of shit as well.

1973: Greetings from Asbury Park, N.J. - Good
1973: The Wild, the Innocent & the E Street Shuffle -Great
1975: Born to Run -Awesome
1978: Darkness on the Edge of Town - Good
1980: The River - Awesome
1982: Nebraska - Meh
1984: Born in the U.S.A. -Overproduced but still good.
1987: Tunnel of Love -Decent but...uh oh
1992: Human Touch -Bad
1992: Lucky Town - Bad
1995: The Ghost of Tom Joad -Bad
2002: The Rising - Good
2005: Devils & Dust -Bad
2006: We Shall Overcome: The Seeger Sessions -Bad
2007: Magic - Shit
2009: Working on a Dream -Total Shit
2012: Wrecking Ball - He's a caricature of himself now. BAD.

That's not what I meant. Since 2005, I've seen more and more marquee names in concert at Wrigley Field during the summertime instead of what used to be called the World Music Theatre or whatever they're calling that outdoor venue now in Tinley Park.

I think he picked the wrong stadium as a venue. White Sox fans would be far more appreciative of a man singing about speedballs.

Those kind of loud acts belong in the Wild Hare.

That should be a tough ticket. I bet it not only sells out September 7th, but I've got to think a second show won't be far behind.

Nearly everyone I know who is a fan of his is pretty damn obnoxious about it (and fully aware of it)- even worse than U2 and Bono fans. Every word he sings and every note he plays is an obscene cliche.
