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.

Democrats slackers liberals losers felons..........
I would say Bruce is an embarrassment to singers everywhere since this idiot cannot sing. He screams or mumbles through every tune. Deplorables everywhere could care a less what his useless opinions are.
Dear olog,
re:
“In his socialist utopia, the hotrods and luxury cars he mentioned in various songs of his would never have been built. He would have been lucky to have had a two-stroke two-cylinder Trabi.”
‘His’ who? ‘hot rods and luxury cars’? ‘Hot rods’ is an American 1950’s term, so I do not know who you infer.
The song “Ramrod” apparently is about a 1932 Ford that has been re-engined with a Chrysler Hemi taken out of a Plymouth Roadrunner.
“Pink Cadillac” is of course obvious.
I did err in omitting the muscle cars though, which “Racing In The Streets” describes (all big-block Chevy power).

That area used to be agricultural perhaps a half-century ago. Now it’s just part of the overbuilt northern shore of NJ.
I was more in reference to the effect than the cause. But technically I’ve recognized Springsteen as an un-American pu$$y decades ago.
That old hag still getting audiences?
Dear olog,
The Communist-loving-Trump-the-private-citizen-bashing-draft-dodger Springsteen, is just one more example that ‘nuttin’ good comes from Joisey’!
