Delivered during an interview with Barack Obama on the DBS Sunday Morning show:
Obama: “In an ideal world what Bruce and Clarence portrayed on stage was essentially a reconciliation, right? Redemption.”
Springsteen: “That’s right.”
Obama: “But most of your audiences were primarily white. And they can love Clarence when he’s onstage, but if they ran into him in a bar, suddenly…”
Springsteen: “Oh yeah.”
Obama: “… the n-word comes out.”
Springsteen, nodding in agreement: “‘Yeah.’’

I thought that had to be bullshit, but........ nope. How do you even parody people like this ? |

I don't doubt that douche bag Bruce fully realizes that less than 1/100th of 1 percent of his fans would ever dream of making "the n-word come out" if they ran into Clarence Clemons in a bar. But "The Boss" was so intent on sucking Obama's d---, that it apparently didn't occur to him that he might lift a finger to defend the reputation of his fans (who have supported him for years and made him a zillionaire) from that idiotic, baseless and false accusation. Thanks Boss!
Despite his tough, regular, working guy image that he so insistently portrays, Springsteen is a typical entertainment industry woke twat.

I like a lot of his earlier music.
Then "Born in the USA" came out. Underwhelming and overplayed, it cemented his poser status as a patriotic, blue collar guy.
The worst part is that he seems to actually believe his persona. His music for the last 30 years has been uninspired, disingenuous garbage.

If you tell one of his fans you don't like Springsteen they will say you must see him live. Yeah well I went to see him once and we went back to the downtown bar after thirty minutes. The worst thing however is that moronic looking earing.

Not to mention the fact that, in contrast to "Born in the USA," he admits that he was a "stone-cold draft-dodger." Yep.
So he can take his wokeness and cram it up his Boss-hole. I understand a lot of people had issues with Vietnam, but I'd respect him a lot more if he'd just said "No, I'm not going" and taken the consequences. |

I don't think this is "wokeness" as much as pandering to an audience, trying to have stature in his show biz community. If he is genuinely "woke" to racial injustice issues, that's fine with me, but I am suspicious of much of the public political posturing of executives and public figures. Right or Left, it is just branding, not genuine.
A lot of us in the Vietnam generation had problems with the war but just would not break the law or declare themselves conscientious objectors unless that was really the case. So many of us served despite their reservations and had their life interrupted (or ended).
If he had sincerely held beliefs about the war he could seek to declare as a CO, take the consequence of that choice with alternative service. Might have ended up an entertainer for USO or AFE. I respected my brother's beliefs and that decision he made, he spent two years in difficult service in hospitals stateside, and had a harder service obligation in some ways than we did who went to SE Asia.

I understand a lot of people had issues with Vietnam, but I'd respect him a lot more if he'd just said "No, I'm not going" and taken the consequences. The draft is unamerican. The people of this country have not established for themselves such a fabric of despotism. They have not purchased at a vast expense of their own treasures and their own blood a Magna Charta to be slaves. Where is it written in the Constitution, in what article or section is it contained that you may take children from their parents and parents from their children and compel them to fight the battles of any war which the folly or the wickedness of government may engage in? Under what concealment has this power lain hidden which now for the first time comes forth, with a tremendous and baleful aspect, to trample down and destroy the dearest rights of personal liberty? Who will show me any constitutional injunction which makes it the duty of the American people to surrender everything valuable in life, and even life itself, not when the safety of their country and its liberties may demand the sacrifice, but whenever the purposes of an ambitious and mischievous government may require it? Sir, I almost disdain to go to quotations and references to prove that such an adominable doctrine has no foundation in the Constitution of the country. It is enough to know that that instrument was intended as the basis of a free government and that the power contended for is incompatible with any notion of personal liberty. An attempt to maintain this doctrine upon the provisions of the Constitution is an exercise of perverse ingenuity to extract slavery from the substance of a free government. It is an attempt to show, by proof and argument, that we ourselves are subjects of despotism and that we have a right to chains and bondage, firmly secured to us and our children by the provisions of our government. It has been the labor of other men at other times, to mitigate and reform the powers of government by construction; to support the rights of personal security by every species of favorable and benign interpretation, and thus to infuse a free spirit into governments not friendly in their general structure and formation to public liberty. |

Daniel Webster said: Where is it written in the Constitution, in what article or section is it contained that you may take children from their parents and parents from their children and compel them to fight the battles of any war which the folly or the wickedness of government may engage in? heir general structure and formation to public liberty. I can't really argue with Daniel Webster's argument that there is no explicit provision for a draft, except that Congress has created a draft under the War Powers clause and that Act has been upheld by the Courts, Arver v. United States, 245 U.S. 366 (1918).
I'm still skeptical about the bona fides of "The Boss" and his use of draft dodging as a badge of honor.

I've known for a long time that Bruce is a phony and a twat. At least since the "Glory Days" video, where Bruce laughably attempts to portray a baseball pitcher.
Check out around 0:36
To say he throws like a girl would be an insult to girls everywhere. He throws more like some new gender that is 50 times more effeminate than regular girls.
