I lived a stones throw from Freehold NJ.
And I hated Springsteen growing up. The hype was deafening. It just
turned me off.
As I got older and less concerned about what people thought, or
wanting to be different I gave him a closer listen. I found the
references to places I knew very well pretty cool and nostalgic.
I now think his older albums up to The River are just brilliant.
After that, spotty with some good to great songs. So much is personal
perspective really.
