    For sure.  Same with Neil Young. 
    I came across this review on AllMusic the other day that, although it might be seen as implying some things that could taken to be a little harsh toward The Boss and Young, I do think it says some good things about Nils:

    "Wonderland is a surprisingly commercial work from guitarist/vocalist Nils Lofgren, opening with a very catchy and impressive "Across the Tracks," followed quickly by the beautiful "Into the Night," which has flavors of Bruce Springsteen, though Lofgren's vocal is more precise and radio-friendly than his boss, the Boss. That's the strange thing about the music biz -- when a voice is superior and the music more commercial, it still takes a back seat to personality; listen to any hit song from Neil Young to verify that statement...
    The key thing that's missing to bring music this good to the masses is an overpowering persona, and it seems Nils Lofgren is just too nice a guy to put that driving arrogance behind the sounds to catapult them onto AM and FM radio. Even more of a pity is that Backstreet/MCA couldn't do it for him, because the artist certainly gave them extraordinary product to work with here"

    I was listening to Nils first solo album last night, Nils Lofgren.  What a terrific record!  Also later at night played his The Loner, Nils Sings Neil from 2008.  Unfortunately, it's not on vinyl, but the CD makes for some terrific quiet time listening.

    “ Pearl Jam leaving would have impact. 

    I'm hoping it's due to them being five people having to get on a zoom call and agree on it to make it happen that it hasn't happened yet, and not because of @dankind depressing perspective he sometimes throws out.”

    But this whole thing has proven to me that Joe Rogan supporters are as insufferable as he is.
