I grew up on the Jersey shore (same age as Bruce). When young, he was not very political. But once he married the Phillips woman and moved to LA, he changed. He went from a clumsy kid from Highway 9 to movie star favorite.
I haven’t listed to him since “The River.” His music had leftist overtones (ala Woody Guthrie), but he didn’t emerge as a symbol of liberalism until Hollywood turned his.
Another millionaire liberal, willing to give away everyone else’s money.
It started for him right before he released The River, when he did the "No Nukes" concerts. But at least back then he wasn't so strident. And he music was much better.
I used to like him a lot, but now he's off my radar screen. Haven't bought record of his since the 1990s.
