Bruce who?
Isn't he the guy who sounds like he listened to Dylan's Blonde on Blonde?

I really believe these anti-Bush concerts will hurt the artists more than Bush. In fact, this mean-spirited incestuous relationship between celebrities and politicians may signal a significant cultural shift, back to the days when artists and celebrities kept their politics secret.

What a pretentious A$$!
I have NEVER liked Bruthey or its "music".
I always thought he was a pretentious blowhard.
Now I'm convinced.

Where are the conservative 'rockers' and their tour? I can't believe there aren't enough con-rockers to do their own tour. Let's find them & get them out there.

Let these girlie-men have Kerry. They're dinosaurs anyway, and haven't had an original idea in 20 years. The only way that they can sing falsetto anymore is to cinch their girdles a notch tighter.

When I was about 15 years old, I allowed my views and ideas to be shaped by the music I listened to. At some point I grew up and realized that just because you can play a guitar doesn't mean that you have a world view that I should take on as my own.
I really wonder what sort of person goes to a concert or even a movie and it shape their political views.

I often ponder why these 'stars' think that they can ruin people's enjoyment of a concert they have paid good money for with political rants. People go to a concert for the music not the politics.

"I hope (ticket takers) check party affiliations at the door." And just why should the do that? The concert is overtly political!

R.E.M. bass player Mike Mills addressed the potential loss of fans for his own band: "That's a very definite possibility, but I think the election is far more important than my career."It's been a good eight, ten years since you've actually had to concern yourself with one of those, Mikey... :)

Yet when sales fo their albums and concert tickets plummet, he will whine it is McCarthyism all over again.

I grew up in Jersey and have always been a big Bruce fan, as people from Jersey are apt to do. I've got his greatest hits CD and Born to Run and all that, but I'll never spend another dollar buying his stuff again.

I've enjoyed Springsteen since about 1976 when I started listening to him while in college. He was a great alternative to disco and his lyrics are generally pretty good. HOWEVER, he does need to shut up and just sing!

So does this mean that the concert is "free"? Or will Soros be paying people to attend?

Did they really keep them secret or have the Democrats veered to far to the left? Or is it merely that the Conservative movement has become mainstream? Or perhaps we as a people have become more media savvy? Perhaps it is all of those things. Perhaps the sixties was really the anomaly. The old Hollywood and the older, pre-rock and roll popular culture was decidedly pro American.
It may not be that they kept their mouths shut - it may be that they did not say anything so unacceptable.
We also once understood that these peoples' competence was entertainment and we did not consider them to be deep thinkers, paragons of virtue and, for that matter, even "artists."
