It's also one thing to recall Springsteen has been an influence, it's another thing, very arrogant, to say Jon "owes a little too much" to Springsteen.

You don't see other acts today always being compared to their influences in reviews do you? Its just the same old story that BJ have always been easy to have a pop at by the critics, and the Bruce aspect is an easy one, closely followed by the ''hair arguement''.

Yeah - I have said for years that if I am sick of the Springsteen comparisons, Jon must be heartily sick of them. I doubt if Bruce gives a shit LOL.

And as been mentioned - there are many more famous music acts from New Jersey:

frank sinatra
whitney houston
Debbie harry

May I add:

The Four Seasons (Frankie Valli)
Lauryn Hill
Southside Johnny
Paul Simon
Count Basie
Connie Francis
Dionne Warwick
The Rascals (early on The Young Rascals)
The Isley Brothers (Twist and Shout)
Janis Ian
Dr. Hook
Zack Wylde

I could go on but you get the picture LOL

You can read the lips of the Queen after Let It Be. They say: "Bon Jovi"!
