The Boss apologizes for Wal-Mart deal, AC/DC is not sorry at all

Bruce Springsteen, champion of the working class and all things New Jersey (and the halftime entertainment for Sunday's Super Bowl), has officially apologized for striking an exclusive deal with Wal-Mart to sell his current greatest-hits CD. The Boss tells The New York Times that he dropped the ball by not taking notice of Wal-Mart's labor practices. In one of the retailer's lowlights, it paid out $11 million for using illegal immigrants as janitors.

AC/DC, meanwhile, is sleeping soundly after striking a similar deal earlier this year. The resilient Aussie rockers' new album went to No. 1 on the Billboard charts. After 14 weeks, it's still at 43. I'm sure Bruce will feel terrible if Working on a Dream, which has been met with lukewarm reviews, enjoys similar success.

The so-called "Boss"

SUCKS.

I have yet to even remotely like one of his songs. BTW, where did he get that stupid nickname?

[2ndDivisionVet]

New or used?

[Gaffer]

An asswipe who has jumped the shark...nuff said.

Don’t confuse Bruce (or the clowns on the other thread) with the facts. They’d ruin his rant.

I believe his band called him that. If he’s the boss most people here are disgruntled employees.

What? A screaming liberal that is AGAINST ILLEGALS?

Sure....liberals have been screaming about Wal-Mart for years and he didn't notice....Sure.

He was caught doing the opposite of what he claims to hold as his values.

“The Boss” is a global marketing brand and plays all sides for mega bucks.

Is that an add for AC/DC or Centrum A-Z?

My rock idols are old. Guess that happens. I'm gonna be 40 in a couple of months. I remember when 30 sounded "old."

Was that w@nker Springsteen ever able to use bag-pipes in his rock-n-roll? No Way!

Another reason to love AC/DC.

Stopped listening to Springsteen years ago, after he went hard Left.

I even turn off his songs if they come on XM. It’s like listening to Hillary rant to an audience. I would rather eat lint, lick a chalk board, hug a hornet nest, etc,,,.

Who’s Bruce Springsteen?

More pollution from the Jersey shore.

Baloney. He's only apologizing because the cd DIDN'T SELL. Bruce thought he was going to cash in, and when the cd bombed, he tries to re-cloak himself with his phony "man of the people" schtick.

Thread over.

[Frantzie]

Bruce is all for the American workers rights yet he supports Obama and Dems who are pro-illegal alien?????

Illegals depress the wages of American workers.

[ronnyquest]

He should instead apologize for being a nitwit.

Hilarious. Sprinsgteen also initially supported President Bush in the War on Terror, and was quoted in Time magazine saying he supported the invasion of Afghanistan and thought Bush was handling the situation post-9/11 properly. Then the lefty assholes got to him and he turned into another anti-war Bush-basher. He has obviously heard from the same people about his Walmart deal.

His instincts are usually right, but for some reason he wants to stay in the good graces of the Left so he changes his position as soon as he gets any flack from them.
