Well, it's a really subjective thing, a matter of taste. That's why I said "to my mind Browne is...superior..." I'm thoroughly acquainted with both Springsteen's and Browne's work, and I've seen both live many times. As I said before, The Boss is an astonishingly good writer and performer. I just have a slight preference for Browne, that's all.Peace,Toby

Toby,We can agree to disagree. I love Jackson, too.However, I have to wonder how familiar you are with Bruce's catalog or how many times you've seen him live.Over the last 36 years I don't think anyone has performed at Bruce's level of excellence, writing, in the studio, and performing. In fairness, I haven't seen Jackson 55 times, including multiple shows on every tour beginning in 78, and I don't know all of his albums. How many of Bruce's 20, excluding compilations, do you know well?

I'm a HUGE Springsteen fan, but to my mind Browne is a superior writer and singer. This takes nothing away from Bruce's astonishing talents. Browne is just that much better than the Boss, and in some regards it's an apples-oranges comparison. Peace,Toby

It's well documented that Jackson Browne did NOT hit Daryl Hannah. Both have denied it. The police officers who responded to Browne's 911 call all filed very specific reports on this. The dispute was that Hannah was moving out of Browne's house after a spat, and Browne called police because he believed Hannah was trying to remove items that did not belong to her. When the tabloids got wind of a police response to the Browne/Hannah home, the story tok on a life of its own as an urban myth.

I saw him on Monday night (10/27/08) in Atlanta and he was great, and by far, by far, by far the highlight was The Pretender. He had the band and equipment to be rock & roll loud, but knows how to use it. He started with just piano, and then built it to rock, then stopped, playing softly again.... and bang, back into almost hard rock, on and on. The sound system was perfect and all 2,000 people were on there feet clapping and singing. Great show. Not Springsteen, but who is? Very good.
