Bruce Springsteen: Searching for faith in the 21st Century American Depression

Peter Stone Brown is the kind of old school music writer that you can't find anymore.

I've been listening to the new Bruce Springsteen record Wrecking Ball for the last week and Peter Stone Brown’s review perfectly captures this wonderful record. When it comes to writing about music, he’s in the same class as Ralph J. Gleason, Paul Nelson, Peter Guralnick, Mikal Gilmore and John Bauldie. Every music fan who has ever cared about Springsteen will want to read this review of this record. Great job.

It’s the kind of music writing we use to find in Rolling Stone. When I was a kid I used to hitchhike 20 miles to get the latest issue. It was always the best day. That was a long long time ago. Before yuppie writers like Rob Sheffield ruined it. Peter Stone Brown is the kind of old school music writer that you can't find anymore.
