No Terry, Jon has always TRIED to emulate Springsteen. There's a massive difference. Namely that one will go down in history as one of the greatest, most respected songwriters and musicians of all time. The other won't. And some don't consider him 'all that'? Who cares? Some would say the same about the Beatles or Hendrix.

And just for the record, this is coming from someone who has all Springsteen's and Bon Jovi's albums and loves them both, albeit for very different reasons. Hell, I even quite like the new one that is being slated here. But not because it sounds like Springsteen, because it really, really doesn't!
