3.2 - What is it that I dislike about Bruce Springsteen? Is it the pandering to blue collar America? Is it the emotional grandstanding that oozes with sincerity? Is it the hit-you-over-the-head music production? Is it the stylized leather jacket/tight jeans combo? I couldn't get into "Born in the U.S.A" and I can't get into this record either. I tried. I even kinda sorta like some of the songs. But - I don't know - it still all seems phony, like an elaborate put-on.
