WOW! Never saw that one coming!!
“An endorsement from Bruce Springsteen is the kiss of death.” EXACTLY!
Coming up next: Jon Bon Jovi
And next Jon Bon Jovi will go for this crap.
Oh well
Some hypocrite with a scratchy voice surrounded by excellent musicians.
Does he have magical or superhuman powers?
According to the huge throng of fanatics that chant “Bruce, Bruce, Bruce...” everywhere he goes plus the many millions collected over the years would conclude he must possess some special power of marketing wizardry.
Does he have extensive domestic & foreign policy experience?
Bruce has traveled the world displaying his band's talents (While he, again plays 3 chords and sings in a raspy, scratchy voice) so in his mind yes. Bruce has millions plus delusions of political grandeur, nothing can stop him.
Then why should I give a rip who this has-been nobody endorses?
The RIAA and media pundits compel you to listen and buy his crap, both musically plus politically or else. Big media will continue to shove his worthless crap down our throats till they deem the brainwashing sufficient enough. After that continue to prop up his boring and predictable "work" and political gems/endorsements till he is 6 feet under. After that, tributes and life stories of "the everyman" will bombard us till all the "hip" people are dead. This disease must be stopped to spare future generations.
You hear me, Brucey? I DON'T CARE...
“Hip” media pundits, legions of fanatics and politicians are deeply saddened by your resistance of “The Boss”.
I was wandering around in a daze, a drooling vegetable, unable to make up my own mind without the wisdom of a musician to guide me.
My wanderings are now over.
Thank You, Bruce Springsteen!!
“Rock stars - is there anything they don’t know?”
“For which one?”
Ask John Kerry.
Methinks Brucey was actually BORN IN THE USSR! BORN IN THE USSR!
Maybe congress should hold hearings on excessive celibrity compensation. Considering Bruse’s stated political alliance it seems like twice the national median salary would be fair for Bruce.
Must be on NebrasKKKa.....
You’re right about that...I wrote a letter to the editor of our home town paper one summer as he was touring through the area...And I said something to the effect that, “is it just me or does this guy’s voice really stink?” That followed with a deluge of letters saying the same thing and calls to me...
I will say, that I got a kick out of him when he talked about the time he opened for Chuck Berry... :-) Funny..
In fact, let’s just all be honest here....If the guy was a conservative...and voted republican...I’d be saying that he’s the greatest rock and roll artist of all time... :-))))))
No seriously, he stinks...
Who cares? He’s brain-dead rock-n-rock puck.
Just confirms my opinion, Bruce sucks.
Yet another reason to vote for anyone but SnObama.
Just another “rich guilt vote” from another loon in entertainment. I’m sure Brucey Baby is ready to give all his money to socialism or maybe he has it all stored off shore somewhere.....
I wonder who wrote that for him; I can’t imagine this doofus being intelligent enough to say/spell all those fancy words.
Occasional B+ music, Lots of C- music, F for political astuteness.
Oh man, I’m still holding my breath waiting to see who Johnny Cougar will endorse.
