Tom Dunne's Music & Me: Could electric vehicles lead to the demise of rock'n'roll? 

Bruce Springsteen and others have relied so much on the traditional gas-guzzlers for inspiration, I fear this year's influx of the silent, eco-friendly autos just won't cut it

I'm not sure if Bruce Springsteen will ever sing about the smooth ride and the range anxiety of a journey in an electric vehicle. 

Spare a thought for Bruce as he faces an existential crisis. In his day he has seen off his dad, small town expectations, the Vietnam war and various Republican presidents. 

But he is no match for this new foe. Mr Springsteen, the poet laureate of cars, please meet: the Electric Vehicle.
