During a new interview with comedian Marc Maron on the WTF podcast, Bruce Springsteen questioned President-elect Donald Trumps basic competency three weeks before hes set to take the oath of office. Ive felt disgust before, but never the kind of fear that you feel now, Springsteen said. Its as simple as the fear of, is someone simply competent enough to do this particular job? Do they simply have the pure competence to be put in the position of such responsibility? The rocker, who campaigned for Hillary Clinton, went on to express his concerns that Trumps campaign unleashed bigotry, racism, intolerance that will be difficult to quell now that he will be in the White House. Whether its a rise in hate crimes, people feeling they have license to speak and behave in ways that previously were considered un-American and are un-American, Springsteen added. Thats what hes appealing to. My fears are that those things find a place in ordinary civil society.
Amen. Every time I hear this asshole on the radio my blood boils.
he is proof that a hell of a great band can make most anyone a rock star
forgot about that one....a quick station turner.
That isn’t fear for coming immorality or injustice, Bruce you moron, that fear has its genesis in the idea that YOU are dead wrong about damn near EVERYTHING and its about to be proven beyond a shadow of a doubt.
Springsteen is an old turd on growth hormone in an effort to lookd “young” again. Unfortunately it has affected his neurons.
another half-fast has-been 3rd tier “rock star” exposes his ignorance.
He’s a flake. A friend of mine knew him and he use that exact word to describe him when I asked what kind of guy he is. That’s exactly what he is, that’s the perfect word, he is a flake. He plays up this working class image then he flakes on it: He supports the very politicians who screw over the working class. He’s a fraud. What job has he ever held?
Most overrated musician ever.
Second only to Bono...
LMAO!!!! Did you hear Jolene at 33 rpm? ;)
He lost his connection to his blue collar roots. Now he is an elitist hack. How sad.
Whether its a rise in hate crimes, people feeling they have license to speak and behave in ways that previously were considered un-American and are un-American,
BLM riots based on lies
rent-a-hoax protesters staging fights at Trump rallies
Marxists and Communists in the Obama administration
Yes, Obama did encourage racism and un-American activities.
The only music I ever hear on radio is bumper music or in ads.
“new” rock isn’t played on the radio and I’ve heard enough of the same 3 Led Zeppelin songs to last me a lifetime so I don’t need the “classic hits of the 70s 80s and beyond” stations.
It worked for 2 comedians who had a sideline gig as The Blues Brothers.
It did, but almost all of it came from the Progs. And riots, violence, and threats of violence should be added to the list.
Typical entertainment industry moron, pewling idiocy right and left like some malevolent Forrest Gump.
ESAD, dumbass.
“This from a guy who cheated on his wife, left her and left it to his manager to tell her.”
He also claimed to be homosexual to get out of Viet Nam. (or I should say the draft)
The only “punk” connection I can see is to Patti Smith, who covered “Because The Night”. And she’s barely “punk” as it became known, anyhow.
Bruce is in another world...and he is not very bright. He likes to sing about the down trodden, and Trump wants to lift everyone up.
Trump would outdraw Bruce on any night and he doesn’t even play a guitar.
