They never listened to The River or Darkness on the Edge of Town. He’s been calling out inequality and injustice for almost 50 years; but sure Born in the USA is a patriotic anthem.
Born down in a dead man's town/The first hit I took was when I hit the ground/Penned up like a dog that's been beat too much/'Till you spend half your life just covering up.
-first verse of "Born in the USA."
They didn't listen to "Born in the USA," either. They heard the chorus and that's it.
The message he had the other night, scares dictators! That kind of message can catch on quickly (which I really hope it does) and can cause a would-be dictator all kinds of problems! I believe that's why it caught the eye of Trump! Let's help spread it!!!
Only an idiot would boycott him. I wish more celebrities would speak out. They have power, use it for good for the citizens that have made you rich and powerful.
Most MAGAs only know the chorus of a song. They hear "Born in the USA" but miss the "Went down to see my V.A. man, He said "Son, don't you understand?" now."
It's like when they dance and sing the chorus of Killing in the Name Of. They just don't quite understand lyrics.
And I respect you for this. I’ve been a lifer Bruce fan since I saw him live in 1976 when I was 15. BUT, I also Blue Oyster Cult in 76 and equally love them, and still do. I also love Ghost.
I've seen him 4 times!! Love his music and He's a very decent human. Also........
We need a freedom aid concert for democracy!!! Bruce get your buddies together and sing loud and proud. Neil Young must go too,🇨🇦❣️💪👍🌎save us
Remember that MAGA are the offspring of Reagan Republicans who played Born in the USA during his campaign, not understanding a damn thing what the song was about. And that same not understanding continues!
My mom has seen him play close to 40 times, yet gets upset when he speaks up the way he does. She even used to ban his music to the back seat during elections years.
Bruce has the chops to say whatever he damn well pleases! He’s not scamming his supporters out of rent money! Nor is he working on destroying our self-government experience!
No, he actually loves this country and the people who live here!
Those are the same people crying that 'Rage Against the Machine' suddenly became "woke". They think 'Born in the USA' is a national anthem about how awesome we are. They're very stupid people. Remarkably stupid actually.
I once had someone tell me the CCR song "fortunate son" was pro war and the band fully supported invading Vietnam because: Some folks are born made to wave the flag
Hoo, they're red, white and blue.. Just ignore the rest of the lyrics apparently.
More aggressively and deliberately stupid I think. Even after explaining it to them they simply doubled down. That's not oblivious or ignorant, that's a staggering level of stupid. And it has to be deliberate. It takes effort to exert that level of cognitive dissonance consistently.
Their leader routinely blasts and “dances” 🤢 to YMCA. Not a chance in hell any of them understand that “Born in the USA” is not the anthem for white nationalism that they think it is.
