HIT HIM AGAIN, BOSS!

If I don’t get to punch Trump personally, I’ll gladly watch Bruce do it.

Musicians have a obligation to speak out on the concerns of the nation. Wait for the “Dixie Chicking” of Springsteen. “He criticized Trump is a foreign country”! “Sweden!” “Socialism!”

They might try to, but won’t leave a mark on him. If anyone can wake the desperate Trump voters up from their delusions, it’s Springsteen.

Can’t wait to see him with Colbert.

Pff, like white working-class Americans are going to listen to what this hippie folk singer has to say.

dickweed · September 23, 2016, 5:19pm

Well there goes a small portion of his fan base. Guess they’ll be stuck with just Nugent and smelly fingers from scratching their cat…

According to the Trump supporters in my Family, no one wants to hear what Bruce has to say about Politics. He should just keep his opinions to himself. Of course according to them facebookers keep telling him to shut up and no one is going to see his concerts (sadly, even normally smart people turn delusional once they become Trump Stans)

Kris Krispie Cream must be crying on the kitchen floor right now.

Nah, he is a white man; his opinion is valid.

Bruce is out selling his book for which he got 10 million.

This mild criticism of Trump seems cowardly to me.

clunkertruck · September 23, 2016, 6:03pm

Why doesn’t he just put it to music —

semiotix · September 23, 2016, 6:14pm

I’m working on the theory here that there are at least a few undecided or persuadable voters left. This may not be true, but if there are any, they probably own a Springsteen album.

The Right has tried that before—with Diallo and North Carolina. Didn’t work then and wouldn’t work now.
