I'll admit that a lot of Rick Springfield's stuff is pure pop (by the
standards of the people who criticize pure pop) but his latest, "Love
Somebody" reminds me a lot of Bruce Springsteen's "Born to Run". In
fact, the first time I heard it on the radio I thought they were playing
"Born to Run". I think it's a pretty good single. Of course, I haven't
heard any flames yet about Springsteen, but for the record I'd like to
say that I think he has some pretty good material.

Yes, I'll agree, he's got a great deal of originality, that Springfield guy, sounding so much like someone else... :-) -- You will never find a more wretched hive of scum and villainy.
