My Take
Nils Lofgren strikes me as the consummate musician's musician. Born in Chicago in 1951, he fronted Grin, played with Crazy Horse, and has been part of Bruce Springsteen's E Street Band since 1984, earning a Rock and Roll Hall of Fame induction in 2014. What I respect is his versatility, equally fluent on guitar and piano, content to be the indispensable sideman as much as the headliner. There's real generosity in an artist who can lead his own project yet pour himself into elevating someone else's. To me, that adaptability and taste are a rarer gift than raw stardom.
