Rock legend Bruce Springsteen has described Donald Trump as an embarrassment to the United States, saying the Republican presidential candidate is a demagogue with simple solutions.

Springsteen, who has dramatized the plight of working-class Americans in his music, said he understands how Trump could seem “compelling” to people who are economically insecure. “The absurdity is beyond cartoon-like. But he's gotten close enough (to the White House) so it can make you nervous,” he told Skavlan, a talk show in Norway and Sweden, during an interview released Friday. […]

“We have certain problems in the United States — tremendous inequality of wealth distribution — that makes for ripe ground for demagoguery,” Springsteen said. “He has a very simple answer to all these very, very complex problems.” …

I don’t see Bruce redistributing his own wealth. No wonder they boo him at all his shows.

I’ve always thought Brucie is an embarrassment.

Most over-rated no-talent of all time.

Springsteen is an embarrassment. I went to a couple concerts years ago but vowed to never go again. He couldn’t stfu about his asinine liberal politics. Seems nothing has changed

Most solutions are simple. They simply take courage and the will to follow through .

Shut up and sing, Bruce. This is how Linda Ronstadt ended up in late in her career, making political long political speeches at her concerts and spending less time singing. She got fully booed for her performance too. This was before she began showing evidence of the Parkinson’s Disease that ended her singing time on stage for good.

I’ll never understand the devotion of his fans. He’s had a handful of decent songs but most are terrible. The shows are 30 minutes of good music and 3 hours of trash with liberal bs mixed in

Speaking of booing, I find it annoying how “Bruuuuuce” and “Booooooo” sound identical at Springsteen’s shows. He’ll take boos as a compliment if he ever got them.

Bingo. No talent and no brains. An ingrate rock star should learn to be silent politically, but then again he does not have a brain.

Bruce and his fanboi Rolling Stone are 20th century throwbacks.
Go away Bruce. It’s over.

His voice must be an acquired “taste”, like streisand and others.

just ridiculous people pay hard earned money to listen to them squawk.

Even worse they think people care to hear their political views.
