Seeger is being his old commie self, but it's always hilarious to hear Springsteen singing this kind of crap. Mr. Blue Collar who is a multimillionaire with multiple houses, at least one of which is (or was) in Beverly Hills...singing about outlawing private property.

I mean, the utter audacity of these people is overwhelming. I would love to interview him live on TV. It wouldn't be Charlie Rose time, you can be sure. (I have respect for some of his oldest music and his live performances and cover versions, so it wouldn't be just bashing.)

Springsteen needs someone to throw this stuff at him and say "Come on, Bruce, what's this crap?" He's never had to answer a hard question from anybody, ever.

And you would expect a logical answer?

As always, elitist moonbats do not consider themselves among the unwashed to whom the "rules" apply. Some animals are more equal than others.

For the good part of his career, Springsteen was just a rock and roll guy - one of the best live performers ever. But, back then, he got little respect from the world outside of rock and roll.

Then, one day, he read a melodramatic, maudlin John Steinbeck book and listened to some wailing Woody Guthrie albums, and all of a sudden, he's a sensitive Okie (from Jersey?) downtrodden leftist, just crawled out of the dustbowl to bash capitalism.

Suddenly, he's the toast of the New York Times! He's NPR's favorite poet. He's the "everyman intellectual!"

Which is really a hoot - since the "intellectual" half is a high school dropout, and the "everyman" half has lived the pampered life of a millionaire rock star since Richard Nixon was president.
