Kamala had him limp out as part of her campaign and it didn't play out so well.
Maybe voters care more about a campaign headliner of policy like affordable healthcare, child/elder care, housing & higher ed over the bruised feelings of a billionaire musician who sold his music catalog for $500M.
You realize everything you listed there was actually Kamala's policies right? And he didn't headline her campaign. He made a tiny appearance at a single rally.
The foundation of the campaign should've been basic work/life interest. Not carried interest or small biz loans.
She scrubbed "universal healthcare" & "public option" from the 2024 platform & spoke more about Trump being unfit instead of paid family leave, U pre-k or free instate tuition.
When The born in the USA album came out a family member gave it to me for Christmas, I traded it with a girl that Reed my school bus for a Beatles Abbey Road album. I think I didn’t like it because everybody liked it lol
I wonder how many people will learn now for the first time that “Born In The USA” is not, in fact, a love song to America, and consequently be further outraged (41 years late)
His Springsteen posts are meant to distract,
Forget bribery plane. Look who he attacked!
We gotta stop falling for his bullshit act.
Focus on corruption is the right way to react.
not just one of the most beloved american musicians, one of the most beloved among journalists. i swear everyone who writes on the hill knows the river and nebraska front to back
We jest, but Trump's Truth is an open invite for Noem's goon squad to hassle him, or worse, upon arrival.
But then again, he's probably flying private, and CPB isn't usually goonish on celebrities on that side of the airport.
Why? I have a childhood friend that was a major player in the music industry then became a US Attorney S.Manhattan when he got off coke in the early 90’s. He lived in NYC - met Bruce through his friends & have been good friends since. Says he is just a funny guy that has a burning poet inside.
Christie continued to worship at the dungaree altar even after Springsteen made it clear he was personally and politically anathema. It's a cruel and persistent faith for men whose awareness of Springsteen was birthed by Reagan and untroubled by understanding the lyrics. Ryan/RATM is worse tho.
Tennessean here, you are 100% correct. These red neck racist are not dumb, just lack any soul. BIUSA was definitely an anti-war song, and his others are all about the working class getting fucked over. My friends always ask to skip a song when I play a Springsteen list. Nope, turn it up!
Old White Guy here: This is true, it reminds us of a time when we had more hair on our head and less pain in our back
I'm not sure it'll make a difference for the trumpists though. No matter how much one likes Bruce, I don't think it's enough to get a significant amount of cultist to leave the cult
she isn't even that anti trump anymore lol she decided that her billion dollar brand & MAGA friends are more important than standing up. most celebrities are disappointing which is why Bruce is so great
He's trying to change the subject as the plane thing has blown up in its face (the most hilarious/humiliating part is that the Qataris didn't even offer a new plane, but an old plane belonging to the black sheep of the royal family that they'd been trying to unload for 5 years!)
Funny how Trump lashes out at Taylor just as news breaks that Blake Lively--also a bully--has been blackmailing Taylor, threatening to release their private text messages if she doesn't come out in support of Blake's false SA claims against Baldoni.

I can almost hear her strumming to some new lyrics now

The #gop has gone so far up this thing's a** that they're never coming out again.
He's just not that bright, is he . . .
