There's nothing arrogant about "The Wild, the Innocent, and the E-Street Shuffle", or "Nebraska" for example. Yet these albums are overlooked because the majority of the American public prefers the "ass in the face" that was "Born in the U.S.A."

My problem with the whole deal is just that, are you, as a dismisser of Springsteen's over the top American antics, also dismissing these albums? Or is it justified for you to say that the worst an artist does represents the true colors of the artist?
