Pop stars. Moby - who should get stomped by Obie because he is a 36 year old bald headed fag who doesn't know its over and no one listens to techno. (Thanks to Eminem).
John Cougar Watermellon. Hasn't had a hit in years. Springsteen - washed up.
Natalie Maines and the Dixie Sluts - what more can be said?

No one cares what a bunch of brainless moron celebrities think.

Maybe now they can do something useful like going back to school and getting their diplomas.

Just how DID Springsteen become an "icon"?

My father figures that in the 1970's, New Jersey's pot smoking hippies were listening to a local boy for the first time. Since pot will make a cat caught in a hay baler sound "awesome" to the smoker, they had to know who this "awesome dude" was.

Told the guy's name was Springsteen, the potheads thought, "Whoa, Springsteen...That's like Shakespere or something", and the whole damn hollow legend was born.
