Corrected headline:

“Champion of the Downtrodden Working Man Sides with Wealthy Elitist Who Helps Send American Factory Jobs to Mexico”

I enjoyed “Darkness on the Edge of Town” in 1978, but since it seems like Bruce is simply doing an impersonation of 1978 Bruce. He’s a fat, jaded millionaire working his phony friend-of-the-working man routine because that is what pays the mortgage on his multiple estates. Bon Jovi on the other hand has always been a no-talent doing an impersonation of 1978 Bruce.

As a rock fan since before Springsteen ever recorded a track...I have to say,

Springsteen is a retard...always has been, from day one

Was in the Gulf during one of the wars we were in....in Bahrain off duty and went to one of the “Mexican” places in town for dinner.

Sting was in there. His group saw us enter, and we could hear them gripe about how they would have to all say hi to us and act happy.

We just walked right by that pompous asshole like he was a local.

They seemed a bit miffed.

So let me get this straight..Hillary Clinton is SO far ahead in the polls she needs to bring out Bruce Springsteen to PHILLY of all places in order to help her win..meanwhile Donald Trump can get 30,000 people to show up just to hear HIM speak..no celebrities, no music events, no free goodies, NOTHING but hearing Trump, our future President, speak from the heart

I met Henry Rollins of Black Flag. He wasn’t very tall either, but he must have had an 18” neck.

Springsteen and RS’s Jan Wenner are homo butt buddies.

Bruce Springsteen. Possibly the most overrated “musicians” of all time.

Interesting that it’s Springsteen and Bon Jovi - originally I had heard it was to be JayZ and Beyoncé - they badly need the big black vote in Philly - but after the noise made about the bad-mouthing foul language at the Ohio JayZ/Beyoncé concert, perhaps they were bounced from the ticket - and if the transit strike isn’t settled by tomorrow night, it’s going to be difficult for a lot of the blacks they want to show up on Tuesday for the vote to get to the concert - that’ll dampen the turnout on Tuesday even if the courts do injunction the workers to go back by Tuesday morning - how delightful....

True, his only redeeming attribute is he gives long concerts of crap music. He cannot write a song and his musicianship sucks. I cannot listen to his drivel. He is also stupid politically. Smart musicians learn to shut up when it comes to politics. He is one stupid musician.

I grew up thinking Sting was awesome, but when I finally grew up for reals, I realized I would take a dump on him faster than an Occupytard would when seeing an NYPD car.

Sting did a duet once with Pavorati. Sting sounded worse than a screeching hillary next to him. To Sting’s credit, he will never be on stage with Pavorati ever again, for the sake of both of their reputations.

A suggestion for Clinton to put the record right.

Have these guys do this song at your next event.

Accept what you are and what you have done and go away.

Yeah I was never into his stuff, but my ex-wife was. I heard them say “aw crap theres a bunch of americans i guess we gotta be happy to see them”. Sting looked at us like he saw blood on his toilet paper.

She said “That’s Sting” when we walked in.......and one of the only times she listened to me.

Told her to walk right past that swollen pustule and not say anything. She did, and everyone else did....and despite their protesting when we walked in, I think we hurt a few feel-bads.

Best day ever. :)

What’s that on his right hand?

Maybe some sort of orthopaedic device to enable him to hold a pick.
