I've noticed Bruce Springsteen has been making a lot on TV appearances (Today Show, Letterman, Nightline, etc.) and he's currently on the cover of Rolling Stone and Time magazine. It occured to me that he's doing basically the same thing with The Rising that U2 did with ATYCLB - promoting the hell out of it. Now, I'm not saying that I have a problem with it (I don't...there's nothing wrong with wanting people to hear your work), but I know that there were a lot of fans and critics who thought U2 was dangerously close to becoming the dreaded S-word for doing TRL, Letterman, SNL and the like. I'm just wondering if you guys think that anybody will cry "SELL OUT!" if Bruce keeps this up. Hopefully after U2 and The Boss went through with making all of those public appearances, there won't be such a negative stigma attached to artists who actively promote their work.
Thoughts, anyone?
