"You know, the difference between the greatness of Bruce Springsteen and that of Neil Young as someone once explained to me back in college: Bruce makes you think you, too, can be as great as he is; Neil makes you think he is really no better than you are to begin with. Remember that."
Dr. Eric Alterman - Altercation
Back in 2006, we did a rather extensive look at the whole Bruce Springsteen and Neil Young mythologies in the posting Bruce Springsteen and Neil Young: The Difference in Greatness.
Our regular readers know we're always up for a spirited debate on the relative merits of our respective musical heroes. And of course -- as we always predispose -- it's not a competition and there are no winners and losers. Only players.

ReplyDeleteI thought the comparison is “Every guy wants to be Bruce but we’re really Neil.”
how many great sets from the bridge could be released? especially considering a lot of artists played different sets over the course of 2 days. For example, I'd love to see a release of Beck's sets from 2000.
ReplyDeleteMan, if artists start releasing official Bridge School performances, imagine the possibilities. How bout The Who? Bowie?? Brian Wilson?? All incredible shows.
ReplyDeleteMyself? Hey, if you want to release the Buffalo Springfield performance from 2010, I wouldn't complain.
Hello,
ReplyDeleteWhat an interesting blog site. I apologize for the shameless plug, but yesterday I wrote a web review/article on the Bruce Springsteen Bridge School Live Archive album set. Here's the link:
