Agreed on the guitarist front.
However, this is an odd argument to make. It’s like the people who say Dylan isn’t a good signer...Uh, you don’t listen to Dylan for the singing.

Cool. Just as long as you realize that you’re being just as irrational as they are...which it seems like you are.

Dude. You’re opinion is not fact.
Stating your opinion without any evidence, argument is not interesting.
The fact that you left the theater is not a comment on the movie. It is a comment on your reaction to the movie. No one cares.

But we’re not talking about closing scenes. We’re talking about shots...those are different things.
I tend to agree with your point...it’s just that that is a different conversation.

You’re comments are the worst kind of talking about music. You substitute genre tastes for talent. You equate your personal taste with talent.
Bruce does have rhythm. He just doesn’t employ the rhythm you prefer.

The lack of self-awareness that you exhibit in this comment, in concert (intended!) with your other comments is funny.
In these comments, at least, you’ve shown yourself to be the opposite sides of the same coin.

Funny that you sarcastically mention the flowing...The movement of the water is important. The river is a metaphor for life, wanting to live it, excitement, things changing. Most action takes place by the river.
It’s the location of teenage escape.
It’s the location of celebrating a wedding day.
Later in the song, when…

power chord != chord
power chords have nothing to do with rhythm. it has to do with how the chord is formed.
You clearly don’t know what you’re talking about.
It’s fine that you don’t like Springsteen’s music. But not liking it doesn’t magically make every critical comment you make true.

So, then...which songs exactly does Springsteen use mostly power cords on?

I have zero t-shirts. Does that mean I actually like Bruce. Or am I just a friend-starved poser, too?

I hate when not bright people try to explain their visceral reactions with logic.
It’s okay to not like Bruce or Bieber or Radiohead...just realize almost any “reason” you give is likely to turn you into a raging hypocrite.

Dude lives in a shitty valley. The river is in a different, better valley. Is this not enough of an explanation?

You don’t know what a power chord is, do you?
