"There's a widespread political consciousness that's perhaps deeper in Europe than it is in the States, he told the Sunday Times magazine. ...The climate [in America] is very, very ugly for getting things done." Because when those politically sophisticated - "deep" - Europeans set their minds to "getting things done," it never turns ugly, right Bruce? ...Right?

That song was written from the point of view of a character.

How smart could he be? Does he realize that if all of Zeroes plans go through, his assets will be seized.

Frowning takes 68 muscles.
Smiling takes 6.
Pulling this trigger takes 2.
I'm lazy.

I'll start listening to political opinions from celebrities at about the same time I start getting car repair advice from my hairdresser.
Come to think of it, my hair dresser is more likely to know something about cars than most celebrities do about politics and real life.

I distinctly recall about a year or 2 ago my roommate asking if I wanted to go to some Springsteen show at the Meadowlands. I looked up from watching Beck or Hannity and said, "Nah".
"Oh, that's right, you don't like large crowds at big venues, right?", he asked.
I replied, "No. I just don't like Communists".

The American political climate for achieving change is very, very ugly, according to Bruce Springsteen, as he launched a staunch defence of Barack Obama. "There's a widespread political consciousness that's perhaps deeper in Europe than it is in the States, he told the Sunday Times magazine.
The climate [in America] is very, very ugly for getting things done. The moderate reforms President Obama fought to make are called Marxist, socialist.
P*SS on the Boss who p*ssed on the flag.
Europeans "cheered" when America made a leap into socialized medicine. THEY know what it is.
You ain't the boss of me, Brucie.

How smart could he be? Does he realize that if all of Zeroes plans go through, his assets will be seized. The politburo is a protected class.
Ted Kennedy railed against ending the inheritance tax.
How much of his own estate was swallowed up by taxes in the end?
Ted knows how to bury the bodies.

Bruce Springsteen owes his entire career to Dylan, since his whole angle is to be a less complicated, more consciously working-class Dylan: his entire aesthetic embodies the first phase of Dylan's electric period. Came a point in the 1970s where they had Bruuuuce wear a leather jacket and tried calling him punk (and they also tried calling Tom Petty "new wave").
Bruce wrote "Hungry Heart" for the Ramones (in the vein of the 60s girl group sound that inspired them) but he stole it back and never did give them a song.
I guess it's all about aping the style of the day.
He "made his name" with Castro-speech length concert radio broadcasts. 3 hours of radio time repeatedly dedicated to Bruuuuce. And who says payola doesn't work when it comes to making someone famous?
Many of those radio broadcasts were subsequently sold as bootleg LPs.

I guess the solution is to give the president more power...until the next Republican is elected, then that power must be reined in.

As overrated as Dylan.Heretic!
