Springsteen Picks Up Obama's Class Warfare Baton in Pittsburgh
Big Hollywood ^ | 10/28/12

Posted on 10/28/2012 10:01:56 AM PDT by markomalley

Bruce Springsteen is a fabulously wealthy man who sings about the poor, the downtrodden and the lower middle class.

You know, the people hit hard by the last four years of the Obama presidency.

This weekend, Springsteen visited the Steel City to talk up a second Obama term, promising the crowd in classic class warfare terms what we can expect from Hope and Change, the sequel.

It does help take away the guilt and makes him feel a lot better about being rich.

Rather listen to Johnny Cash and hear a real man that actually loves America sing.

Frankly when I see this guy I wonder who let him out of the 80s.

Springsteen is a washed up old has-been that hasn’t made a good record since about 1980. Does he go out on stage with a walker? He needs to STFU and retire with his millions.

Don't give us that "the super-rich man just feels guilty that's all" crap.. what is the mental problem with people like this.. is it just fluff for popularity, show.. and even more wealth?

Like all good libs that talk about class welfare from their luxury SUV while sipping champagne. The hypocrisy is breathtaking. I lost any amount of respect I ever had for this no-talent hack.

Every time I see Springsteen, he reminds me of those Viagra-type commercials with gray-haired city dudes riding motorcycles with those self-satisfied grins on their faces, as if they’re bonding with some preconceived notion of tough-guy culture. So laughably false, and so laughably faggy. That’s Springsteen.

With the exception of maybe a couple of songs, I’ve never liked this guy. I always thought that he was way overrated. I never wasted any money on any of his music.

Frankly, this guy is just a overpaid guilt ridden jack___.

All these superstars that are granted this type of platform of influence only because of the American Ideal, and they do not even know what it means.

What a shame and a disgrace. They refuse to open their eyes to the truths that are staring back at them. They are ashamed, frightened little weasels. that have been granted too much of the grace and promise of America. Those of us that recognize the truth with our eyes wide open, must shout louder and more forceful, so to awaken those so easily hypnotized by the darkness of ignorance and collusion.

This is the same scumbag who sings about the working class and then doesn't pay his roadies.

Libs - big F@ckin hypocrites.

Well I'm not going to join those in criticizing his work. Had Springsteen been a conservative, we'd all be saying how Springsteen is a rock god and one of the great performing artists of all time. Don't try to convince me it would be otherwise. Now Ted Nugent, he's a great conservative and I like the guy. But I can't get through a single album of his without getting a splitting headache. If Nugent had Springsteen's talent, I would like Nugent just as much. Only difference is, I'd be able to listen to his music as well.

Now back to Springsteen, I really wish he would stay out of politics. Just shut up and sing. I don't think Springsteen is washed up musically at all. "Ghost of Tom Joad", "Tunnel of Love" and "The Rising" are just three great albums released since most of you all have him washed up.

That said, I truly detest the man for not only his crappy politics but for his hypocrisy and the way he shamelessly lectures his audiences during concerts. For that reason, I haven't attended a Springsteen concert since 1981 and I'll never attend one again, though I'll still buy his albums where I can appreciate the music without the editorial comment.

The hypocrisy of these recording artists astounds me. Whether it's Springsteen, Bono (of U2) or Pearl Jam, they charge hundreds of dollars for shows, travel around in limos and private jets, wrap themselves in bubbles where they never have to stand in a line or otherwise associate with us "peasants" yet they try to come across as champions of the working class. Give me a break.

Now I have no problem with rock stars getting rich and living the rock and roll lifestyle, but please knock it off with the sanctimonious preaching and pretending that you are something that you are not.

He made some great music in the late 70s early 80s time frame, but as Laura Ingraham said, "...shut up and sing."

Personally I'd be more than a little PO'd if I paid north of $200.00 for a concert only to hear him whore for Bama.

This over-rated no talent schlub sounds much smarter when he’s silent.

Springsteen representing the common man, is like Bono representing an honest taxpayer.
