If people want to have a go at Springsteen for the reality of his life no longer* reflecting the characters he inhabits/portrays/depicts in his songs I hope they also have problems with the professions of acting and novel writing.
* If it ever did, he might have started writing out about the people and places he knew as a young man but he'll readily admit that he's never had a "real" job.
I no problem with it. My only issue with him is his Born In the USA, anything else is just taking the piss.
