It's a faux- controversy. Bruce Springsteen has worked tirelessy on the behalf of veterans. The real reason he is being criticized this morning is because he supported and campaigned for a democrat.

I didn't know anything about his support of a candidate, wookie. Thanks, that helps explain the sudden concern about his lyrics. Sure wish we all could get past this partisan stuff.

News to me. Guess I'll have to Google it. I thought the uproar was about the f bombs and the rapper at the concert last night for veterans.

I don't and never will look to Hollywood or the Music industry for guidance or leadership when it comes to whom I choose to donate, support OR vote for . . . left, right or in the middle. I consider myself to be an equal opportunity voter.

^This! I don't mix my music and politics.

Same here. I guess there might be exceptions, but generally the entertainment industry isn't the place to find political guidance.

Hi, Doobs! I listen to all kinds of music and I honestly don't care about the artists' politics. I'm sure they don't care about mine when they take my money, either. It's a win-win for all of us!

I have that same hope! During 'that time' there was this new brand of faux patriotism. It was a 'you're with us or you're a terrorist' mentality that was pretty embarrassing, I must say. I'd love to think that has waned and is on its way out for a more traditional brand of patriotism that doesn't include people not being able to have different POVs than others without being called un-American. I was patriotic way before patriotic was cool and it never meant that everything was 'my way or the highway' on such extreme levels as we were experiencing shortly after the beginning of this century.

^^^This

I'll second that!

Hi, reese! Agreed!
