He also told his audience to buy Al Franken's book.

He did a concert in NY that was blatantly against the police about a year ago.

The man ought to be ashamed of himself.

That was the one where he blasted the cops for the Diallo case, right?

More than a year ago. Springsteen was angered by the shooting death of a West African immigrant (he wrote a song about the incident called 47 shots) and the infamous "toilet plunger" attack on another by the NYPD. This was all pre-9/11.

The anti-police concert in New York was about three years ago, corresponding to the release of American Skin, which dealt with the shooting of Amadou Diallo.

After 9/11, he conveniently forgot all about calling the NYPD a bunch of murderers on a daily basis for the past year or so, and jumped on the bandwagon lionizing them.

Springsteen is a minor actor in this whole business, to be sure. But one fully worthy of our contempt.

What can I say? Shoot at some poor guy 41 times, and you'll have some concerts done against you.
