I KNOW IT'S LATE, I KNOW YOU'RE WEARY: Jim DeRogatis defends (and extols) Bob Seger in concert, arguably the worst inductee in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame:
But for my money, I'll take a strong Seger show -- which Thursday undeniably was -- over a run-of-the-mill Bruce Springsteen set any day. Unlike the Boss, Bob isn't aspiring to craft Important Art or make a Grand Statement. He's just playing the sort of music he loves, and he's arguably as good at it today as he ever was.
I've been to run-of-the-mill Springsteen concerts. There is simply no way Great Seger > Mediocre Springsteen. Ever.
