In one of the most ridiculous examples of unbridled hyperbole, Reuters has decided that singer Bruce Springsteen is the one responsible for bringing down the Berlin Wall and ending the Cold War. Yes, that's Bruce "Scorn in the USA" Springsteen, one of the most anti-American rockers on the scene. I know what you're thinking, "But what about Ronald Reagan?" Forget it, man, it's Bruce all the way as far as Reuters is concerned. Maybe it was his gravely warbling that Joshua-like brought those walls tumblin' down, maybe his caterwauling is what turned the trick, but, quite despite any common sense and in a childishly, foolish and overly simplistic review of history, Reuters is sure that Bruce is the hero of Berlin. It is a great example of reductio ad absurdo if there ever was one, not that Reuters is aware of it.
More evidence of a mental recession.
The Hoff did it.
Man, I’m glad my parents didn’t raise me while listening to that douchebag. Got plenty of CCR, though.
Since newspapers buy such syndicated nonsense as this...why...why...it's hard to understand their customer base staying away in droves. It just occurred to me, the main problem of the likes of Reuters is a large portion of the customers they want to reach are people who can actually read.
John Fogerty of CCR is more left wing than Bruceie.Same old chit,leftys who hate there country ,did not serve etc. etc.
That would be Creedence Clearwater Revival, not Cross Canadian Ragweed, right? ;)
Hoff ping!
Yeah, I know, but my dad said CCR was getting kind of popular while he was in ‘Nam. He said he had too many other things to worry about than Fogerty’s politics, go figure.
Too bad that evil Internet allows facts to get in the way of a good story.
Don’t forget John Camp CougarMellon on Pearl Harbor,...” I wasn’t around then so I don’t know if it really happened that way”,..And Barack Hussein,..
“When the bomb was dropped on Pearl Harbor”....
A guy learns 3 chords on a guitar and all the sudden hes a genius, what he has to say is more important than what other people have to say.
How simple the mind of a liberal
Margaret Thatcher?
Ronald Reagan?
John Paul the Great?
Pikers.
It was a greasy socialist guitar player from Freehold, NJ.
Riiiiiiight.
The news media will always provide us with examples of stupid and dishonest people.
Actually, I think it was The Nitty Gritty Dirt band that sowed the seeds when they toured the USSR in 1984 ;^)
thank you...
Reagan and Pope JPII have a credible case to make.
Bruce has none.
Show a little respect for someone who burned up two or three CCR cassettes crossing the country while avoiding farm reports, local politics & gossip, and Mexican mega-stations on his AM radio.
(Much the same as mass produced fried chicken and reconstituted dairy products - I can't stand CCR to this day)
“Who Will Stop the Rain” is a damning indictment of statism.
