I got to see him once. Biggest choir recital evar. All 35,000 (?) people sang every word of every song for 2+ hours. Really incredible.
Bruuuuuucccceeeeeeeeeee!

In Bruce we trust (our American cultural relevance)
I can't ever think of a time when someone told me they didn't like him or his music. Sure there are people that don't own any of his records (me) but I will never deny that his music is singular in its ability to bring Americans together.
That song "I'm on Fire" is for sure one of my all time favorite songs. As a 10 year old boy, first hearing that song, it made me feel things music had never done up to that point. I love to hear covers of it too. Tori Amos' cover is divine
I'm also one of those people who doesn't own a record, but I agree. He hit an absolute sweet spot for being the quintessential American artist. Definitely rock, but story songs for the folkies and country-heads, and unapologetically of a specific place that happens to be urbanized and diverse. Left-leaning politics, but not a scold or a bore so people of a more conservative bent can pretend he's not talking about them, or (and this is generally better) find that a little bit of empathy is sneaking in under their radar.
