Bruce Springsteen, Biff Rose: Max's Kansas City, New York NY
Dan Nooger, The Village Voice, 8 February 1973
EVERYBODY GRUMBLES about Max's for some reason, but most of us keep climbing through the dark to the top of the stairs once or twice a week anyway. Last week's attractions were Bruce Springsteen, who is being pegged by many as "the new Dylan" (as if there could really be one), and Biff Rose, the bemused observer of foibles great and small who, despite the ups and downs of his career, has never claimed to be anyone but himself.
