I'm not sure if you're joking, but I find that very hard to believe. Springsteen is, arguably, the greatest performer of all time. And Papa Roach was a horrid band.
Saw Bruce twice a few weeks ago & I disagree with you completely. He's incredible live. But you saw him during the "Working on a Dream" tour, so I could see why you didn't like it. His voice sounded shot alot of the times...
Never went on the political section.
Dylan's better than everybody when it comes to songwriting, but The Boss is a much better performer. Both are great though.
