How did Bruce do it?

>12 tracks on the album, 7 are Billboard Top 10 hits, 2 others are rock radio hits
>3 B-sides to the singles become rock radio hits/jukebox favorites
>1 live song from the Born in the USA tour becomes a Billboard Top 10 hit, 1 other is a Billboard Top 40 hit, 2 others are rock radio hits

Because he's white, a songwriting genius, and knew exactly how to appeal to working whites

Boomers had shit taste

Because everybody loves to eat shit everyday.

what B-sides are you referring to?

Cause people misunderstood Born in the USA, Glory Days, and Dancing in the Dark

"Dancing in the Dark" B-side

Natalia Cole would also cover it several years later and turn it into a Top 5 Billboard

B-Side to "Glory Days"

Country singer Mel McDaniel, too, would cover this song and turn into a huge country radio hit years later

And of course this one which basically everybody's heard on the radio/in department stores round that certain time of the season:

This album cover has strong homosexual energy

Bruce is pretty much autistic. Much his other albums, for this one he wrote 80 songs and then narrowed it down to these 12.

Bruce is a literal god and you have to be a contrarian faggot to hate the boss. my favorite? Nebraska

I really don't expect anyone who wasn't raised a working class american or european to like Springsteen. That's why he's only popular in those regions, because they're the only parts of the world left with a blue collar populus.

When I was in middle school in Europe, I had a friend who was really into Springsteen.

Bongs love Bruce.

His newest album went #1 by a wide margin over the rest of the competition (including Madonna). Hell, it was in the album charts for months and only just fell out of the Top 40. Sold more downloads/physical copies in England than it did in America.

In a perfect world Boomer Springsteen would be playing in bars in South Jersey. Lame and dumb as shit.

you are already a homosexual if that’s the first thing you recognize

Springsteen is literally the emperor of dadrock.

this

He was the zeitgeist of the 80s because the country was culturally homogeneous enough to still have one. Things are really fractured now.

Bruce was one of the last greats i have to say, no i'm not a boomer i'm 24.

There' so much SOUL from his debut album to born in the U.S.A. it's incredible.

The guy has been an out of touch jetsetting rock star for decades.

How did he get away with taking a wizz on the American flag?

The River [Columbia, 1980]
All the standard objections apply. His beat is still clunky, his singing overwrought, his sense of significance shot through with Mazola Oil. He's too white and too male, though he's decent enough to wish he weren't; too unanalytic and fatalistic, though his eye is sharp as can be. Yet by continuing to root his writing in the small victories and large compromises of ordinary joes and janies whose need to understand as well as celebrate is as restless as his own, he's grown into a bitter empathy. These are the wages of young romantic love among those who get paid by the hour, and even if he's only giving forth with so many short fast ones because the circles of frustration and escape seem tighter now, the condensed songcraft makes this double album a model of condensation--upbeat enough for a revery there, he elaborates a myth about the fate of the guys he grew up with that hits a lot of people where they live.

And Trump's a billionaire. Working class whites like who they like. It's like how blacks still love Michael Jackson. People don't fucking care. They like what they like.

LYL WHITE MALES RIGHT?
