I disagree. He's definitely hit or miss but
Nebraska, which was one of his solo albums, is IMHO the best thing he's ever done. And I'm not alone in thinking this, a lot of people agree with that assessment, including die-hard fans.

The Newark/Jersey City part of New Jersey isn't the totality of the state. NJ always gets a bum rap from people who've only driven through it or only spent time in certain areas but it actually has a lot of nice areas too. Cape May springs to mind, for example.
