Bruce (bald face Liar) Springsteen calls Wal-Mart deal a mistake

In an interview with The New York Times, Bruce Springsteen says he shouldn't have made a deal with Wal-Mart. This month, the store started exclusively selling a Springsteen greatest-hits CD.
Some fans were critical because Springsteen has been a longtime supporter of worker's rights, and Wal-Mart has faced criticism for its labor practices. Springsteen's team didn't vet the issue as closely as it should have, and that he "dropped the ball on it," he told the Times for a story to be published in Sunday editions and previewed on its Web site.

Bruce is a frickin liar. His team didn't know? Bruce didn't know? If Brucie was so plugged into workers rights, he would have known about this since this has been a huge issue for Wal-Mart for YEARS if not more than a decade.
Bruce and his "people" knew EXACTLY who they were partnering with because it was the surest way to MAKE HUGE $$$$ selling his CD instead of going digital via downloads.
Someone should really call him on his bald face lie.

Walmart. Workers’ rights.
All of the Walmart employees work there voluntarily, right?
Am I missing something (other than the obvious — that they are non-union and therefore are abusing workers)?

He's so full of crap. He allowed Walmart to distribute his so-called music because he knows that they know how to sell.

I don’t get Bruce Springsteen. Bad whiny voice, nonsensical lyrics and a fake working class image. He’s a mystery to me.

He has to fund his wealthy Rumsom, N.J. lifestyle some way or another even if it is on the hardworking backs of Wal-Mart workers! Transparent hypocrite!

The Half-Time shows are overrated and usually a disappointment. Just bring back the marching bands and get on with the “DAMN” game. I will not be watching Bruce, never liked him 35 years ago and don't like him now. Where are The Allman Brothers?????????????
To: MAD-AS-HELL
what a horse’s behind.
Never liked him even when I was a leftie and ‘rocker’, as I even had some sense then, and I’m talkin’ since late 1970’s.
sense grew when I left, of course. I honestly think liberals simply don’t achieve ethical maturity as they just level off somewhere convenient.
what a horse’s behind Springstien is.
