"We have piped unto you, and ye have not danced"
Its not that I take my politics too seriously, I take life and the future of America totally serious, and "The Boss" bossed around too many voters to Gobama. No entertainer worked harder to elect a man, though I do like some of his personality, thoroughly unqualified to take on the job of Commander In-Chief and sundry other duties which are way above his pay grade. I actually blame the electorate who voted for the Democrats in Congress and President, more than the officials themselves.
Rose of Quinn and Rose fame (their Stream and XM radio broadcasts are conservative, addictive, and well worth a listen) claims that she will not do business with anyone who voted for Obama. Same here.
At one time, I could separate the politics of Sean Penn, George Clooney, John Cougar Mellencamp, Jessica Alba et al., from their unique talents and abilities, but now, looking at what is at stake, I am boycotting these people's
entertainment, and avoiding them like the Olbermann Plague which has epidemically infected the brains of so many victims.
Also on the hall of shame list are Garth Brooks, Beyonce, Bono, Sheryl Crow, Mary J Blige, Usher, Herbie Hancock, Shakira, James Taylor, and Stevie Wonder- who perfomed at the infamous Obama-Palooza.May they be Dixi-Chicked for life. I may even jump off an elevator if I hear their music as I enter. Notice to Wallmart: Don't be playing their muzak in the background, as I will leave and upgrade my shopping to Target.
I have not watched Rachel Madoff (even if she wore something frilly), Katie Couric, Bill Maher, Mike Wallace, Bryan Williams, Keith Olbermann, CNN, ABC, CBS, NBC, MSLSD (thanks, Mark Levin), or any of the other L-O-S-E-R news programs for more than five minutes since they started their Obama love affair.
As a disabled Vietnam veteran, I have been especially aggravated by Springsteen's singing overtime to defeat the United State's effort in Iraq.
I now sing a little ditty dedicated to Bruce which is based on his song Born To Run.
Baby, We Were Born To Cut And Run - Bruce Sprungspleen
I'm glad I'm not sweatin' and bleedin' in the streets of Baghdad - I am too clean a machine.
I evaded Vietnam like my friend Bill Clinton - I had to sing and make the girls scream.
No jeeps to drive, no tanks to ride in a hostile warring place.
I likes my cozy Asbury Park - let others take my place.
Its so much safer on E - Street and Greenwich has the poets.
I could imitate Bobby Dylan like Melencamp but many folks just didn't know it.
The way to protect America is with the guitar and not the gun,
'Cause, tramps like us, baby we were born to cut and run.
[The words don't exactly fit the music, but I'm singing it anyway]
Ditto that!
Being retired I record most programs I watch.It is very helpful with the News,Movies and Sports programs.
Won’t Be Watching Superbowl Halftime With All American (All Socialist) Bruce Springsteen.....
I am a HUGE Bruce Springsteen Fan........
...and I absolutely REFUSE to watch the halftime show.......
.....I’ve had enough of his left wing garbage...
Never liked his music, his politics are such that I would not whizz on him if I saw him on fire...
Watch Animal Planet’s PUPPY BOWL V.
They say the kitten’s half time steals the show, but I think not.
There’s still a few on FR that criticize those who base their viewing and listening tastes on personal politics...but I’m not one of them.
I was one of the biggest Dixie Chick fans in the world, but I am tickled pink that they still aren’t on the country music stations in Kansas City.
And over the past two years, I’ve grown a strong dislike for Chevrolet because of their using Mellencamp to write their commercial jingle (”This is myyyyy country”) that aired 12-20 times every football game.

"He also accuses me [Ronald Radosh] of attacking Pete Seeger for 'the consistency of his commitment to peace and social justice,' ignoring that what I argued is that Seegers only consistency was to the current Communist Party line; that in fact, Seeger was antiwar during the period of the Nazi-Soviet Pact; pro-war after the Soviet Union was the ally of the United States; and anti-war during the years of the Cold War and Vietnam. To Nichols -a rather dense left-winger -it is good form to acknowledge that perhaps 'Stalin was a bad guy,' and then simply get over it, and move on to campaign for very American socialist causes." --Ronald Radosh (former communist)

Earth Day founded on Lenin's 100th birthday? --yeah, it's a "coincidence". LOL!
We will swtich to Hendrix’s National Anthem @ Woodstock.
His only weakness...solo. Other than that he wrote the GREATEST riffs of all time.
LOL! My friends & I watched the Puppy Bowl last year and LOVED it. Too cute.
> I didn’t know they had such slim pickins for the halftime show.
Yeah, they might have been able to get the Dixie Chix.
Oh wait ...
