Thinking about it since I wrote what I did about Bruce, I'm now pretty
much convinced that it's a matter of geography. Being from the
southwest, I get from country music what others might get from
Springsteen.
I agree completely. I lived in Philadelphia during the Bruce heyday and I
think all the references to New Jersey and New York City characters and
locales just resonated so much more strongly in the MidAtlantic states.
During this time, I moved briefly to South Carolina and I can tell you that
most South Carolinians could have cared less about Bruce and his tales of
the streets and hanging out at the Jersey shore. I think they were all
listening to the Marshall Tucker Band or the Allman Brothers Band!
