“The first song that played over the loudspeakers after Obama’s first speech as president-elect in Chicago’s Grant Park was Springsteen’s ‘The Rising.’ No other singer backed Barack Obama more, and no other singer made clear his apathy for the Bush regime. Springsteen’s outright opposition to the war in Iraq is no secret, telling Americans on more than one occasion that they have been misled on the issue. When Ronald Reagan mentioned that he thought highly of his masterpiece ‘Born in the USA’ the Boss made it clear that he didn’t want Reagan’s side of politics using the song in any way to promote their cause.
With all that in mind it should come as no surprise that Bruce Springsteen was furious on hearing the news that his music is being used to torture inmates at Guantanamo Bay. Allegedly the music is turned up at full volume and blasted while detainees are interrogated. ‘He’s mad as hell, furious....this is a betrayal of all he stands for’ a music industry insider told us. ‘He is considering his options but don’t be surprised if a new song is released making his feelings clear and the legal route is being discussed.’
One thing is certain: We will be hearing from Bruce Springsteen on this topic, never one to shy away from expressing his opinions on an issue, probably sooner rather than later.”
That allnewsweb blog is a problem, they have been dumping stories on FR in recent weeks but who are they?
Nothing in this article is sourced or linked, how is this news, or a news source? (It never has been in the two weeks that they have saturated FR).
Two days ago ‘Kerry deVille of allnewsweb’ was smearing Governor Palin (they published this ‘fresh’ story two days ago) “She clearly knew little of life outside Alaska and allegedly was unaware that Africa was a continent, thinking that it was one country. This scared many and the initial buzz over the hockey-mum fizzled out.”
Sorry allnewsweb has been laying unsourced, unoriginal,blog nonsense on us for 4 weeks not 2.
