There's a thread in General about some bum who's the "Bruce Springsteen of the Blues". I tried to think what the hell that meant and came up empty. When someone says, "This guy is the next Dylan" I know exactly what that means. Even though it's never true, I think every one knows who Dylan is. Who is Bruce? What makes him Bruce Springsteen? What would the "Next Springsteen" even be?
