After calling for and then deleting his demand for the left to “exterminate” conservative “cockroaches,” Bruce Springsteen’s E Street Band guitarist Steven Van Zandt is still walking back his incendiary comment, claiming he meant to say “exterminate at the ballot box.” In a recent set of angry tweets, Steven Van Zandt defended his use of “cockroaches” to describe the political opposition after someone pointed out that the same insult was used in Rwanda to foment genocide. Van Zandt claimed his use of “cockroach” was just “symbolism” and that he really meant to say “exterminate at the ballot box.” He called...

Bruce Springsteen’s veteran E-Street band guitarist Steven Van Zandt issued a call to fans and supporters on social media Sunday to “Exterminate the (Republican) cockroaches.” His rallying cry to target GOP supporters, half of America, came during an expletive-laden exchange on Twitter. It began when the guitarist ventured forth by abusing what he called “Republican White Supremicist scumbag cowards and pussies that need guns to feel like real men” after TN representatives demanded gun controls. Van Zandt was then called out on Twitter by a follower for his abuse, which he quickly resumed.

Steven Van Zandt is showing off his similar style alongside Rep. Jamie Raskin, after gifting a head cover as the congressman battles cancer. The E Street Band member posted a photo on Monday of himself smiling alongside the Maryland Democrat, saying the duo share a special connection beyond their coordinating head gear. “My brother from another mother!” Van Zandt, 72, said.

"You don't single out an audience member and embarrass him from the stage. A terrible precedent to set."(continued)

Review: Netflix and Hulu's new scripted originals Within just over a week, Netflix and Hulu are both debuting their first stabs at original scripted programming. The shows amount to a milestone in Internet television, an early sign of the leveling between broadcasting and streaming. Programming options between TV and the Web are increasingly separated by little more than the "video source" button on your remote. But the most salient thing about the new offerings from Netflix and Hulu are just how "TV" they are. Earlier this week, Netflix released all eight episodes of "Lilyhammer," a fish-out-of-water drama starring Steve Van...
