I understand that he is "The Boss." I understand that he can capture the thoughts of working class Americans with his lyrics. I understand that his guitarist is on the Sopranos. I understand that he wrote "Glory Days," an admittedly great song that turned in to an even better drinking game.
Here is what I don't understand. After seeing live performances, it's obvious that Bruce has become a caricature of himself. It looks like his face is slowly melting off. And between the cheesy "dance" moves and self-indulgent speeches, he just seems like an aging rocker past his prime. But people don't just like him, they LOVE him. Needless to say, I just don't get it.
