Tonight's streaming on/off debate revitalized the question about he virtues and vices of Bruce's management.
I have been a fan for 30 years and have been disappointed almost continuously with choices made by Bruce's management.
Other than laying the egg on Born to Run, I cannot honestly mention anything positive about Landau's influence.
Landau has pushed Springsteen's commercial appeal(hello Walmart, BITUSA, Essential, you name it), but not really his artistic progress.
Tonight, once again I lament the irony that the man who wrote so passionately about "the future of rock 'n roll" in essence killed that future or at least dumbed it down for mass consumption.
