Bruce Springsteen Opens His Tour With Rant About ‘Treasonous’ Trump

[j-mac]

In a 3 hour plus Springsteen concert you are not deprived of the music.
You are also going to get commentary some of which will be social or political

MAGA should just stay home

Well, I’m not a Springsteen fan anyway…

 

[j-mac]

I've never been a fan, never understood the appeal

Me neither.

I live about six miles from Springsteen

I like his songs, E Street Band but for the life of me, I don’t understand most of his lyrics

He does a lot for the community, most of it anonymously

I am saying this about any entertainer that does this regardless of their political views.

As he should, I think with success, it’s important to give back.

 

[Papageorgio]

Yeah, like the Dixie Chicks.

I went to a few of their concerts, I like their music but when they started politicizing during their concerts, I quit going, I pay to watch them perform, not to hear politics or their opinions.

 

[Blaster]

Nobody wants to hear an entertainer's political opinions.

 

[Papageorgio]

Springsteen has never been a favorite, and it has nothing to do with his politics, he has a couple good songs but for the most part, I’d rather listen to other singers, a personal choice.

 

[Papageorgio]

If you buy a Springsteen ticket, you should know what you’re buying. He’s made his politics clear since the 70s. Does Kid Rock get all “woke” when he performs? No, he’s the same MAGA asshat he is 24/7.

Don’t care for Springsteen or Kid Rock, their music is not to my taste, I think I like one or two of Springsteen’s song and maybe one Kid Rock song.

Bob Seger is a much better singer.

Hes one of the few wealthy that actually do.

It would be an interesting statistic if someone could track how much audience BS loses after his political rants--- 5%, 10%, but then, Bruce probably figures he is at the end of his career, is loaded with all the money he will ever make, and can afford to lose a few fans. More important that he get in one last TDS jab at Trump--- you know, because Trump is so adversely affecting his life.

 

[Papageorgio]

Bob Seger is a much better singer.

By far, I love his music.

 

[Papageorgio]

Hes one of the few wealthy that actually do.

Several give back, John Mellencamp, Taylor Swift, Dolly Parton, Wynonna, Faith Hill, Lebron James, Jeff Gordon and many many others.

Springsteen tickets sell out within hours of hitting the market

 

[Zincwarrior]

If he feels that passionate about bringing his politics into his performance, be very up front with the concert attendees that is what they are going to get before they pay for their tickets.

Have you never listened to his songs???

 

[Donald H]

Bruce's message was lost and it died when he bought into the lies that America is supporting dictators.

And beside that, he doesn't have the courage to say it in America.

Still, the danger he poses to the Trump regime is very real and it will have to be eliminated.

America isn't supporting dictatorships.

America 'is' the aggressive military dictatorship.

Democracy has become the enemy.

 

[konradv]

Fair point…none of them should do it.

Buyer beware.
