His solos may include some repetition, but boring? Never.
I also doubt very strongly that Popper repeats himself more than most blues harp players do. Repetition is in fact one of the key structural elements in most blues harp solos. In Popper's case, it just happens at supersonic speeds.
He is anything but a one-trick pony.
Thanks and regards, Richard Hunter
