--The World is mis/disinformed as to what is happenning in this country since the MSM outlets to them are painting US opposition to O-blah-blah as loons. BS (Bruce Springsteen) only helps the lefts cause..

He's always been a leftie loon. Born in the USA is an antiAmerican ballad. Just ask him. Why is it we now look to entertainers for some judgement of reality? Tell him to shut up and play his guitar. But not in my house, he's not welcom~!

Everything wrong with W. over 8 years has been doubled-down in 18 months with O., these shitbirds were crying out loud but now its all cool? Feathers in the wind.

Never really cared for this guy, artistically or personally. Always thought he was an overrated guthrie wannabe, not that I cared for either guthrie. He does do a great job of being a sloppily dressed millionaire...must be his attempt to identify w/the commoner since he stopped being one over 20yrs ago-- to look trashy you gotta spend a lot of money as the lyric goes.

Hey, Boss? Circumstances are like the late 70s and early 80s when your heart bled for the common man.
Where's your tunes, Dude?
They don't care about the common man when they get one of their utopian assholes in power to remake the common man in their image.
A good example of this would be the Sugarland song "Everyday America." Have you heard it on the radio getting airplay ever since the economy tanked and we finally got the hard times the song was complaining about?

Anybody else notice the irony of the so-called "voice of the common man" being called "The Boss"?
Times are hard, boss person. I suppose, for you, that means...another exclusive deal with WalMart!

There's a widespread political consciousness that's perhaps deeper in Europe than it is in the States.
So a guy that made millions portraying himself as a down to earth "American Icon" pines for a more refined - european style - "political consciousness". I do believe that might be the very definiton of a poseur.

The difference between Dylan and Springsteen is that Dylan was always fairly open about how full of shit he was, and he was cool about it.
Same with Alice Cooper, come to think about it. Wonder if artists with that sort of attitude tend to get radio shows in their later years, or just tend to gravitate towards that sort of thing?

Since he's (supposedly) supposed to be the voice of the common working man, how come he's called "The Boss" instead of "The Union Steward"?
And I never liked his "music" either.

a few years back in Denver at Mile High Stadium, Bruce performed and insisted that he have only union stagehands. In order to do this the regular stagehands that worked the venue had to step aside, losing alot of money.

At the very Least, "the boss" was over-taken by events (OBE) two decades ago; just about the time "HE" started to devolve into the "oppressed S. Jersey working stiff (Read " Under-employed Horse Track Gopher). bruce & 0bambi deserve each other. Both cut from the same bolt of cheesecloth.

A multi-volume chronology and reference guide set detailing three years of the Mexican Drug War between 2010 and 2012.
Rantburg.com and borderlandbeat.com correspondent and author Chris Covert presents his first non-fiction work detailing
the drug and gang related violence in Mexico.
Chris gives us Mexican press dispatches of drug and gang war violence
over three years, presented in a multi volume set intended to chronicle the death, violence and mayhem which has
dominated Mexico for six years.
Rantburg was assembled from recycled algorithms in the United States of America. No
trees were destroyed in the production of this weblog. We did hurt some, though. Sorry.
