'Just because someone plays for seven and a half hours only stopping for a short break during the eighty minute saxophone solo, doesn't mean they're good'

I'm wondering if there's ever a glory hour when Bruce Springsteen isn't being Bruce Springsteen somewhere in Ireland.

I've previously said Bruce occupies the rung on the ladder that's the next one above Bon Jovi - and I stand over that. To elaborate, I think if Bon Jovi had a slightly more edgy name - maybe Bruce Jovi - he'd be considerably more successful here. At the risk of infuriating Bruce fans even more than the Bon Jovi comparison does, I think there's a Friends comparison to be made also. Start at the beginning of an episode. There's a mundane guitar riff that's played over and over again. Always stuck in second gear indeed.
