The famously liberal Springsteen ..
The 'Boss' is also 'famously untalented'. His guitar playing stinks, it's amateurish to say the least. Watch any video, it's all: down 1,2,3,4. down 1,2,3,4. down 1,2,3,4 - gag! .. and people mocked Elvis - Ha!.

All, or 'most', of his songs are three chord songs in the Key of E in the I, IV, V progression, one of the easiest there is to play: E, A, B (or B7). As such his 'E Street Band' should have been named the 'E String Band' (/s). Yeah he can play a few licks, whoopee, so can any beginning student after a few lessons. His now departed Horn Player was the one with talent and who made that band.

The only good thing about him is his Fender 'Esquire' guitar (The predecessor to the Fender Telecaster) and is worth its weight in gold. And his only really good song was his first hit: Born To Run.

I did not know about the E key of Bruce. I’ll bet he can’t even sing in D or A minor.

Mr Open chord.

To be fair to the Boss,he does throw F sharp minor into that progression once in a while.

The idiot looks like he's pumping water on that axe.
