By now it’s obvious that Princeton professors have a big old crush on Bruce Springsteen. First there was this fall’s course on the sociological implications of the Boss. Next up: AMS401: At Home in New Jersey, a spring seminar that promises to investigate Bruce’s first studio album Greetings From Asbury Park “at a more sophisticated and advanced level.”
But elsewhere, (less sophisticated?) Bruce-watchers seem to have grown weary of the Jersey Shore troubadour. Hipster collective Pitchfork Media gave Springsteen’s latest effort, Working on a Dream, a lackluster 5.8 out of 10 and called the track Queen of the Supermarket “Maybe the worst thing he’s ever written.” (Ouch.) They also named the album’s cover art the absolute Worst of 2009. (Ouch again. Also: true.)
So who wins–Indies or Eggheads?
