...I still wouldn't go...!
...And Bruce Springsteen is a demagogue all the way through. He's GOOD at faking it - he's not untalented as a songwriter - but it doesn't make him sincere, and on some level, his Woody Guthrie pretentious are actually kind of OFFENSIVE, given his ticket prices, ain't they? Go read Richard Meltzer's essay "One Commie Wrong About Bruce" (in A WHORE JUST LIKE THE REST, which title, by the by, is Meltzer referring to himself, not Springsteen). The Boss should be sentenced to spend the rest of his life touring for no recompense, playing only for low-income families, to atone for his years of hypocrisy - either that, or he should run for President of the United States. He would make a GREAT candidate for the Democrats...
But seriously: do not feed the troll on this one, folks. I've got other stuff to do this weekend.
You angry little man! Too funny!
