Where is Bruce Springsteen? His final speech (Barf Alert)

The Boss has been extremely quiet after America ignored his pleas to elect Kerry and Edwards. Not even a single "boo" from Springsteen, Bon Jovi, Whoopi, Dixie Chicks. Here is Bruce's final speech inspiring the youth vote to vote for Kerry... BARF ALERT

BRUCE'S FINAL SPEECH As a songwriter, I've been writing about America for 30 years: who we are, what we stand for, what we fight for -- these ideas are what's at stake tomorrow. I believe our American government has drifted too far from American values: The human principles of economic justice, healing the sick, health care, feeding the hungry, housing the homeless, a living wage so folks don't have to break their backs and then come home and not be able to make ends meet, an open American government that's unburdened by unnecessary secrecy, protection of our environment, a sane and responsible foreign policy where we take our place amongst a community of nations, civil rights and the safeguarding of our precious Democracy here at home. This is what we're fighting for tomorrow. Now, nobody's got all of the answers to all of America's problems. And when John Kerry wins tomorrow, it's just the beginning of the work that we need to do ourselves to create a humane American society. I got involved in this election because I saw the opportunity to have somebody in the White House with a heart that would honestly ask the hard questions, that would respect our most struggling citizens, and a spirit that would seek the solutions to bring us closer to fulfilling America's promise for everybody. I believe that Senator Kerry honors these ideals, and that he'll work for them. He's lived our history over the past 50 years; he has an informed and adult view of America and her people. He's had the life experience and understands that we as humans are not infallible, we make mistakes. And as Senator Edwards said during the Democratic Convention, "struggle and heartbreak will always be with us." That's why we need each other, that's why we need to be able to depend on and keep faith with one another through hard times and good times. That's why "One Nation Indivisible" and "United We Stand" can't become empty slogans, but need to remain guiding principles of our public policy.

I was speaking to Senator Glenn the other night, and he said "politics is supposed to be the Personnel Department of the Constitution." It is supposed to be a shining service. And that's why we need good, wise, and trustworthy servants to put our ideals in action. Senator Kerry, since he was a young man, has shown us by having the courage to face America's hard truths, both the good and the bad, that that's where we find a deeper patriotism, a more complete view of who we are, a more authentic experience as citizens, and the power that is embedded only in truth to make our world a better and safer place for our kids to grow up in. These are the things that have brought me here tonight.

Paul Wellstone, the Minnesota senator, said, "The future is for the passionate and those that are willing to fight and work hard for it." Well, the future is now. It's time to roll up your sleeves and let your passions flow in the service of a more just and equitable society. That's why I'm here to stand alongside Senator Kerry and to tell you that the country we carry in our hearts is waiting. So tomorrow, get Grandma, get Ma, get Pa, get 'em all out there and vote! We've had a sax player; I think it's time for a guitar player in the White House. Go out there tomorrow and Vote for Change!

No more "Glory Days" for Springsteen so he got into his "Pink Cadillac" and was last seen driving on "Highway 61" to an unknown "Rendezvous."

Springsteen's problem is he has never recognized the people he performs for are deaf so the message is pointless.

I'm not even sure who he thinks he speaks for. Happy Thanksgiving, by the way.

I'm sick of musicians voicing their political opinions during paid performances. I'm going to get a job as a waiter in Hollywood and give my political opinion when I wait on tables.

The boss has been fired. He does sound like an idiot though, doesn't he. He lives about 5 miles from me and I haven't made the pilgrimage to his mansion. Let him open his home to the homeless and maybe I'll give his hollow words a little more attention.

You can only voice your political opinions after the MSM has anointed you as a "Role Model" and crowned you a "Celebrity". Once this transformation is complete your knowledge is unbounded and you are free to expound on anything, irrespective of your actual understanding of the matter. MSM will dutifully report your utterances.

"I believe our American government has drifted too far from American values:"

Yeah, bringing our values back is what the Republicans and GW are trying to do after the DUM-o-cRATS have just about given all of our American values over to the ACLU creeps and to the secularists!!!

"Inane prattle"

Excellent description!! Listening to him could cure insomnia. I decided he isn't malicious though, just stupid.
