The “common man” doesn’t like musicians preaching Hillary Clinton garbage.
A really good video that was posted here at some point.
I was as big a fan of The Boss as anyone-
this video showed how much of his catalogue is about fleeing a bad situation often times ripping in essence our nation.
By contrast Chuck Berry did the opposite.
It’s a good waste of 15mins.

Many moons ago, we shouted “just shut up and sing.”
Today.....”Just shut up.”
Don’t go away mad, just go away.
I guess the ill-educated, not too bright, but successful, have not embraced the benefits of “shut up and sing/act/dance.
sadly, they aren’t likely to refund all your money.
I went to school with John. He was a year behind me.’Small Town’ is my life story growing up. My older sister was a close friend of his older brother Joe who was very talented musically. I like his music from the ‘80s’, but he’s always been a dick, pardon my language. He was a druggy and a headcase in HS. He came from a good family, but he was the black sheep if we can still use that term. He’s been a card-carrying leftist his whole adult life. Probably a response to his small town, rural, conservative upbringing.
Draft dodging bastard
ome guy made his first radio cut with a song about dairy queen, chilidogs, and getting frisky behind a tree.
that is supposed to be intellectually superior?
Time for a photo shoot with Mellencamp looking away wistfully, hands in his pockets, leaning against an old pickup truck, in front of a diner where he would never eat.
Just like Springsteen, these guys used to be in touch with the common man.
Puh-leeze....that working-class, common man shtick was Springsteen’s bread & butter early. It was a marketing fabrication.
In his own words:
“Bruce Springsteen has a confession to make. “I made it all up,” he tells the audience in his new Netflix special Springsteen on Broadway. “Bruce Springsteen” the persona — all gritty working-class authenticity — is a creation. “I’ve never held an honest job in my entire life!” he says. “I’ve never done any hard labor. I’ve never worked 9 to 5. I’ve never worked five days a week. Until right now.”
The working class act doesn’t work after you become an elitist.
All these people stay in their echo chambers to the point they believe everyone thinks like them. When they encounter someone who doesn’t, they cannot abide it. They don’t know how to respond because they have never been asked to justify their beliefs. It’s a cult.
He should retire and start a cantaloupe farm...call it John Cougar’s Melon Camp.
