Sitting at my 19th Bruce Springsteen show last nite and once again walking out amazed at the fireball show, I also couldn't help but notice the power that his classic songs still retain. Hits like "Promised Land", "Dancing in the Dark", and "Born to Run" literally had the entire 12,000 people in the venue on their feet shouting every word. I wondered, will we ever see this again? How many artists recently have written songs that everyone knows? Do marketing channels even exist anymore to attain universal recognition?
Really don't think so. That doesn't mean there's no great bands out there with solid material, but widespread appeal has seemed to have lost possibility. Think of some of your favorite songs within the last year - how many of your friends know them as well?
