I have as much interest in Springsteen's political opinions as I do in hearing George Bush sing "Born to Run."

As horrible as he is on politics,
it's a tad better than his singing.

"If it gets people informed about the issues, I think that's good," said Julie Tambascio, 39, of Boston That's a heck a big IF. Dis-informed would be more nearly correct.
Ah well, the "America can do no right" (except maybe when a Democrat is in office), crowd has The Boss and the Dixie Chicks (who?) , we've got the Motor City Madman, Lee Greenwood, Charlie Daniels and a host of others.

After "The River", he jumped the shark.

Well, at least he's giving a tuba player some work.

Must be a great job. Sing a dead communist's songs, blather incoherently about things you know nothing about, and get paid a million bucks at the end of the night. |

I always chuckle when I hear stories of guys "fighting" for the "little guy" by day and bedding down in $15 million mansions at night.

Artists turn to politics when they have run out of things to say through their chosen medium. For Bruce Springsteen, this was about 1992. After
Nebraska, most of his work has been a mix of derivative Top-40 fluff, contrived "message" tunes about immigrants and down-and-outers, or poorly-conceived retreads of his earlier, better efforts.
I can name half a dozen more deserving singer/songwriters off the top of my head, none of whom live in mansions and pretend to be minstrels of the proletariat.

The Boss has become The Bore

I've never been able to appreciate Springsteen's "trying to sing while pinching a loaf" technique.

First Springsteen tour in 22 years that I will not be seeing. He has finally jumped the shark. Even a couple of Jersey shows are not sold out and his show in DC on Monday is not sold out.

"Springsteen takes political tone on tour "
Boy am I surprised!
I'm so glad to hear the expert political opinions of this self indulgent, pretentious, pompous and faux humble "ordinary working man" Bruuuucee.
I'm also not surprised that he's taking advice and material from America hating, commie creep, and old fart Pete Seeger.
I hate all these people, simple as that. Can't stand them. They're all suicidal, homicidal traitors.
