Springsteen wove strong criticism of the administration of President Bush into the first of the final three shows at Shea Stadium on Wednesday night, playing a recording of Bush talking about weapons of mass destruction, questioning America's motives for the war in Iraq and calling for Bush's defeat as he seeks re-election next year.

"It is time to impeach the president and put in somebody that knows what they're doing," the musician, known as "The Boss," told the crowd.

Heading into the hit "Born in the U.S.A.," he said: "The question of whether we were misled into the war in Iraq isn't a liberal or conservative or Republican or Democratic question, it's an American one.

Just Fade Away Bruce!!

It's time to remove Springsteen, and get someone who knows how to sing!

I'm sick to death of his old-man croaking and his 30 year-old songs.

Get out of the way, Bruce-----you're giving music a bad name.

[Moleman]

All right I've had enough of this a-hole. I have the triple box set, born to run you name it. Wonderful story teller should SHUT UP AND SING!

[BushisTheMan]

Shut up and sing.

[cmak9]

Good. I always hated this overrated jerk's music anyway. Now I know I had good instincts.

[ServesURight]

In an intellectual showdown between you and a sack of rocks, the rocks would win

LOLOLOLOLOL

I swear, some of you FReepers should consider doing stand-up comedy. There are times like this I'd laugh out loud and my wife is wondering what the hell I'm laughing at.

[Toespi]

Like Sprinsteen can't even spell impeach, and the majority of the people he plays to can't either, so who cares.

Springsteen for Dem VP in '04! Whoooooooooo!

Dean/'Steen - The two coolest guys on the planet. My first executive order will be to create an Office of Homeland Musicology!
Lieberman/Springsteen - That's right, we're "Talkin' 'bout the Talmud"!

Springstein received the stupid award about 10 weeks ago and is swiftly approaching the dumbass nominee of the year award.

[Lance Romance]

I concur. I've always found the Boss's music sloppy and not very pleasant to listen to. He grunts and groans the lyrics, nothing melodic about it.

He reminds of a guy who never grew past his high school phase.

[Coop]

I saw him in concert back in '88, but I'll never pay another dime to support this vile, anti-American, piece of dung.

Bruce, SHUT UP and SING!

[miloklancy]

I would like to see legislation enacted to prevent Springsteen from producing anymore of his crappy music. He really really really sucks! I wish he was born elsewhere.

[ought-six]

Springsteen has been a zero since around 1980, and hasn't had a decent piece of music since then. The guy's living on his memories, and it's time someone woke him up and poured him a strong cup of joe.

Laura Ingraham...
now there's a nice Catholic girl I'd like to get into trouble!
(not to worry...that's just the innocent imaginings of one of her moralistic male groupies)

[Pippin]

Who in the HECK does that TWO-BIT HAS BEEN singer think he is!?

[SkyPilot]

Yesterday, in an event that was virtually ignored by the Media, an Iraqi official took to the microphones in an attempt to shame those who opposed the war against Saddam.

He spoke of the rapes, torture, and murder. He said that the nations and world bodies that ignored the holocaust in Iraq are to blame, and that only the US and Britain had the courage to stop it. The acid baths, children's prisons, and sexual torture of girls as young as 7 years old was enough justification to do what we did, Mr. Springsteen.

Now shut up and sing.

I would like to see him recalled from the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.
