You don't need to be a Springsteenologist to solve!

So either people are indeed Springsteenologists or we're missing something drastic.

I've only heard of the last one, Frank Sinatra.
I'm going to draw the grid and do the fill in pencil. It worked magic for Shenk's WSJCC. I didn't realize I had the 'specialized knowledge' required until I put it through the point of a pencil. It seemed to add an extra dimension to my thinking.

Well, that didn't work. I'm still as lost as ever. You're right. We must be missing something drastic, but at the same time simple. The meta version of a change-up.

After missing the last couple, this was a much needed downshift. Nice and simple.

Sez you! I saw nothing until a friendly stranger gave a hint.

Got the grid done, but no inspiration for the Springsteen song ...

Now that we're past the deadline, If the meta was a hit by The Bangels that completes the puzzle's playlist, it may have been too easy.

Or The Mamas and the Papas.

Or The Carpenters, Boomtown Rats, T-Bone Walker, Husker Du, . . .

Although, they wouldn't have fit as seamlessly within the meta playlist given the other songs in the playlist.
