You don't equate to Springsteen or Billy Joel except in your own mind.
I asked a question. I am not looking for fanboy info on Springsteen.
The question is legit. Read this and answer it, if you have an answer.

I liked Born to Run, a lot. It put him on the map.
It was dynamic, powerful with relatable lyrics.

Springsteen and McCartney have star power.
Some of McCarty's solo stuff bored me.
After Springsteen's first couple of albums, I lost interest.

This thread is not about Springsteen's song. It's about your song.

Imagine this scenario,
You are a staff writer for a significant label or publisher.
The top guy stops by your desk to see what you have going on.
You start in about Springsteen and Lou Reed.
He interrupts you and says...

"There is a big nut to crack here, every month and every year.
If I don't make rent, payroll and expenses...all of this ends.
Everything needs to work in order to get that nut cracked.
I don't rep Springsteen or McCartney and I wish that I did.
I rep you and what you write.

Who would this song appeal to and why would they stream it, download it and go to a concert to hear it? And want a tee-shirt with the title written across it?
