I think any fan of Springsteen would be thrilled if he did new versions of the songs you mention over the crap he churns out now. Whatever Bruce had - he's lost.

I don't think that's true at all of Jim. Still The Children proves that. Jim may not be the most prolific soul but the quality of his work is always exceptional.
