Review of Western Stars

Despite what a few bitter sadly misinformed right wingers like iamjamalwhite might try to say; this is a side of Springsteen I haven't always enjoyed but in this personal Opus he climbs the Country/Western Mountain without sacrificing his essential self. You won't find any E Street here but Patti Scialfa shows up and the essence that has made Springsteen exceed his peers by decades now shows up in spades. To those who can't separate their low brow politics from Artistic Appreciation I feel sorry for them. I don't care much for Clint Eastwood's politics but I never let it stop me from enjoying his Producing/Direction/Acting. Springsteen stands up for he feels is fair and the way most of his audience would think. You won't find much of that in this intimate look at his Western side; just remember most of the "West" filmed in this was a horse barn in South Jersey!
