Well, he's quite right, isn't he!?
He is but I really don't give a shit about what he has to say. How is this news?
I am inclined to give half an ear to the guy who wrote "Born in the USA", a song repeatedly misunderstood by a certain political party.
Yes, Born in the USA is by no means a patriotic anthem, but rather a critical song about the miserable situation of veterans and workers in the US. The MAGA people are just too stupid to understand that.
Springsteen has repeatedly criticized the fact that the song is being misused in this way and has long been a vocal critic of Drump.
Because he’s a wildly successful musician about whom a lot of people care.
I feel like we shouldn't care this much about the opinions of entertainers. That's kinda how trump got elected in the first place
Well, everyone's voice should matter - and the voice of a guy with millions of fans, from an older generation, and whose most famous song often gets co-opted by MAGAts, should definitely matter. I appreciate him and De Niro in particular for speaking up so vehemently.
The problem is their voice matters more than they should. I get your point but there are voices more knowledgeable that we should listen to. The minimum I feel they should use their celebrity to amplify voices like those
If enough prominent figures in Nazi Germany stood up and said something in the early 30s, then millions upon millions of people may not have died.
To the masses it seems to have been news. Why else would they have elected him … again? ¯\_(o_°)_/¯
They elected Bruce Springsteen?
Would have been a much better choice for president, in spite of his lack of qualifications (not that Trump was ever qualified) and interest in getting the job.
Some even argue that the latter should be a requirement..
They elected trump because of Bruce Springsteen?
Sighs and leaves ...
Do you know what news is? Interesting things that happen. The boss of country music expressing hate for the right is very interesting.
Because a bunch of morons take their political cues from celebrities. It's good to have celebrities on the sane side of things so maybe those idiots start voting in a sane way.
