Bruce v. Bob
During its membership drive next week, WFUV radio is hosting a special musical event. A showdown between two titans of the industry: Bruce Springsteen and Bob Dylan. All week, the station will be playing songs by both and asking listeners to rate them. But not to rate them based on whom you think is the best artist. Instead to rate them on which artist personally resonates more for you. Interesting question. I think I know, but I will give a listen before weighing in. In the meantime, if you already have an opinion, share with your reasons why.

I choose Bob Dylan. No doubt shocking the hell out of everyone who knows me.
Oh wait, that would shock no one who knows me. Because you all know I hate Bruce Springsteen.

Doesn't surprise me one bit.
I definitely think Dylan is the better artist by far. But unlike some in my family I probably would pick Springsteen, because he rocks. So much positive energy in his songs, at least for me.

I gotta go with Springsteen too. Dylan never did it for me personally...I guess he appeals to those a few years older than I.
