A free concert for freeloaders who love free Obama phones and free Obamacare.

I will never ever understand this man’s appeal or success. First time I heard a Springsteen song I thought it was a joke, like someone was spoofing Dylan. And “Born in the USA” sounds like a ditty my son made up while he was alone in the tub with his army men. So he can’t sing, can’t compose, and now he’s proven he can’t think or reason.

[mylife]

Bono is a major peckerhead too.

[mylife]

James Gang was formative R&R

[tsowellfan]

Worst song of all time — Santa Claus Is Coming To Town by Bruce Springsteen.

THAT and Grandma Got run over by a reindeer are two songs that caused me no to enjoy the 24/7 Christmas Music radio stations. You can throw in that Thanksgiving Song, too.

springsteen jumped the shark years ago.

his born in the usa song about a crumbling industry is descriptive of obama’s legacy of catastrophy.

I would love to meet this phoney hypocrite’s tax accountant and see how much he saves Brucie on taxes. And his music suck I only like about three of his tunes like “Glory Days” otherwise he is a crashing bore!!

When is Brucie going to send a $20 million check to the Treasury for the Federales to squander on ObamaBucks and ObamaPhones

How is it that all the rockers from the 1960’s and 70’s are still so friggin’ stupid when it comes to politics.

Crosby, Stills, Nash, and Young are still acting as though it is 1969 and haven’t changed their idiotic beliefs one wit.

Paul McCartney, one of my musical heros of all time, is an absolute ass-clown when it comes to politics and real life.

Lord Above, don’t ANY of these guys mature as they get older or is it all the pot-smoking that stunts their brains??

[mylife]

First time I heard a Springsteen song I thought it was a joke, like someone was spoofing Dylan.

BINGO!

[Lionheartusa1]

I used my sprngsteen CDs for target practice years ago ,,,,,,,,,,,

[riri]

Who is this supposed to resonate with 50 year old white guys? Um, I’d think those guys are a little more worried about other stuff right now.

A lot of the best music in history was created or made popular by far lefties.

[Happy Rain]

I use to like the old Steppenwolf even though their lyrics were mean-spirited anti-American in spite of lead man John Kay being an escapee from Communist East Germany... ...Springsteen, like Kay, became rich and famous because the America they hated provided them the freedom and opportunities to make the livings of their choice. I can handle ant-American dissent, but I hate ungrateful hypocrites!!!

[tsowellfan]

I used to think Born In The USA was a patriotic song until I took the time to listen to the lyrics.

I hope Ozzie Osbourne does another free tour like he did for Bush in 2004. Maybe AC/DC can join with him (except they don’t like to get political and lose 50% of their sales to one side of the political spectrum)

[mylife]

And Quite honestly, Micheal Stanley invented the Midwest sound.

Bruce is a cheap ass imitation.

[delcopatriot]

If support from a no-talent hack is a valid ‘endorsement’; a resonable person must ask the question, “Who would possibly vote for a POTUS candidate because BRUCE SPRINGSTEEN (Exalted Statesman, Towering Intellect) supported that person?

If there are any imbeciles who would let Springsteen decide the most important election in world history for them, then those votes should be invalidated; and those voters should be deported immediately...

[tsowellfan]

A lot of the best music in history was created or made popular by far lefties.

And I have more respect for them if they are the ones who stay out of politics.

[Johnny_cash]

When these idiots start shooting their political mouths off I used to take their CDs and go out back and shoot them. (The DipShit Chicks come to mind)

I now give away all their music to who ever wants it for FREE!

That should cut into the royalties a little bit....

Why isn’t Hugo Chavez jumping in to help us with low price fuel oil anymore?

From US News & World Report, October 1, 2012:

Hugo Chavez Says He Would Vote for Obama

"President Hugo Chavez, the Venezuelan dictator who once called President George W. Bush "the devil," has endorsed Barack Obama in the 2012 presidential race, according to the Associated Press.

"If I were American, I'd vote for Obama," Chavez said in a televised interview Sunday. "And I believe that if Obama was from Caracas, he would vote for Chavez, I am positive."

Chavez Vows To 'Stand By Iran'
After Oil Talks In Tehran, Venezuelan Leader Called 'Brother' By Ahmedinejad

"Chavez pledged that his country would 'stay by Iran at any time and under any condition,' state television reported. Ahmadinejad said he saw in Chavez a kindred spirit." "'We do not have any limitation in cooperation,' Ahmadinejad was quoted as saying. 'Iran and Venezuela are next to each other and supporters of each other. Chavez is a source of a progressive and revolutionary current in South America and his stance in restricting imperialism is tangible.'":
