    Default Springsteen stands up fans

    always thought this fucker was over rated, he's in Bozo's pants

    Millionaire rock star Bruce Springsteen deliberately chose to ‘hurt economically’ fans, workers and small businesses by his last minute cancellation of a concert in Greensboro, North Carolina set for Sunday in protest of a state law known as HB2 that bans men from using women’s bathrooms. Springsteen cancelled the date Friday afternoon, just two days before the April 10 show which would have featured the complete playing of his 1980 album, The River.

    Bush league move by Bruce...

    You only hurt your fans doing that...
    You know, the last time I was in Germany and saw a man standing above everybody else, we ended up disagreeing.

    To be fair, and I am NOT a Springsteen fan, he was an adult when I was in 4th grade. Probably got emphysema or some shit by now.

    I never saw the thrill in him.

    His voice sucks...all he does is shout with not a bit of quality in it.....
    Always gravelly and off key. Sounds more like a garage band singer
    than a real talent.

    For the Era, Neil Diamond was/is much better.

    I like Dancing in the Dark. You can sell the rest to someone else. You don't get to pick n choose what gets played in Okinawan bars and their idea of pop culture was/is weird. I don't like but one Billy Joel song either.

    Thanks for the Neil Diamond reference you goof. Now instead of having "Love Me Tender" stuck in my head it's "Sweet Caroline". You should be shot.

    I agree. I've never liked him. He had a good fiddle player in the 80s is all I really remember about him. And my grandmother would totally agree with the yelling crap. She couldn't stand Patty Loveless for the same reason. SHe doesn't sing ... she yells. I had never even considered it previous to that.

    Now Reba? THAT is my girl. Anyone has a problem with her gets negged twice a week for eternity.

    I was never a Bruce fan, but always kinda listened and enjoyed the majority of his music. Being in NJ it was kind of hard not to, since every station bombarded you with his music. He's always been a democrat, along with Bon Jovi. I recall reading way back when about both of them hosting fundraisers and what not. Whatever, just don't bring it to the stage or try and preach - but they have done that.

    He is not proving a damn thing by doing this, and as someone else stated, he is only harming the fans. And those fans that are SOL aren't going to suddenly follow his stances because he bailed on shows in their area.

    What a stupid thing to take a stand over.

    I can't stand celebrities that preach. Well, leftwingnut ones anyway. I think Bruce Willis and Trace Adkins are cool. BUt they're sublime about it. They don't drive their pleasure craft into a storm surge to rescue people and end up needing to be rescued.

    Too many of that type (bolded) think what they say is important to
    the masses - trying to control thought. Look at fat boy Michael Moore.
    He's a perfect example of this.

    Rightwing ones are calmer and informative, for the most part.
