We know Bruce, your TDS is showing.
It’s no excuse for being a leftist a-hole. Fu Brucie.
Liberalism is a mental disorder.
Guy does an album cover of him pissing on the American flag.
Geeeez! I feel so bad for not liking his crap. Oh, wait. After years of therapy I’m okay with it. Victim card! Therapists don’t help those with TDS either since most of them have it as well. Now, how did that make you feel?
trip and fall
...again
Maybe if he wasn’t such a moon-bat lefties, he would have been happier.
So a famous musician with mental illness stands up and tells ME how to think, act, vote, etc.! WOW, WTF!
Dr. Savage diagnosed this 20 years ago.
See Trump Derangement Syndrome, is causing Springsteen to go nuts.
That sums up “the boss” perfectly.
Obviously.
Feed him some prozac that will cure everything! Not.
Psychiatrist?
I imagine he blames it all on mom and dad... It’s their fault that he became a super rich rockstar... Shame on them!
