New Springsteen Song Suggests Murdering One Percenters
You expect rock stars to be liberal, even stridently leftist. Like movie stars, they don’t experience reality the way you and I do because they are hedged off from it behind phalanxes of security guards and ridiculous income levels. And their heedless naivety is, in a way, part of their childlike Peter Pan charm; they never outgrow their angry-high-schooler phase because in most cases they went directly from high school to show business.
Take Bruce Springsteen, who has been a professional musician since his late teens and has never held any other meaningful job. Springsteen sees himself as a liberal tribune of the working class in the mold of John Steinbeck and Woody Guthrie, and his humble working-man shtick is appealing enough. His increasingly politically pointed songs aren’t his best work, but he has every right to perform them, though they threaten to cost him fans who don’t necessarily go to a rock concert in pursuit of nakedly partisan and somewhat droning appeals.
What he should not do is what he does on his latest album, which is to advocate violent revolution, class-and-politics-based bloodshed, and the murder of bankers and perhaps other capitalists.
Surely I’m exaggerating? I wish I were.
The Springsteen album released March 6th contains some of the most inflammatory and inexcusable rhetoric ever heard in a major pop star’s work. Even the 1960s upheavalists were rarely this reprehensible.

Since springsteen knows that he has no talent, of course he will kiss butt with the left. He has always been left minded and since he knows that the libs have a tin ear, he has fooled them most of his life. All he has to do is give his constipated look while loudly playing his guitar and the leftist groups get all googly-eyed and get a tingly-feely tinge up and down their spine, and think he is awsome. The left has always made idols out of those with absolutely no talent.
Bruce needs about an hour of "alone time" in a room with Chuck Norris and Ted Nugent!
Springsteen is preaching self defense.
Springsteen has faded into obscurity and this is a feeble attempt at his attaching to what he believes is a popular cause hopefully to boost his deflated sales. Bruce, it was us, the baby boomers who made you; the OWS group doesn't have a clue, or an honest dollar to buy your music.

Bruce has been gone a lot longer than just this last album. He has been drinking the kool-aid of the liberals for years and his music has gone right in the toilet because of it.

What an IDIOT Bruce Springsteen is. He's in the 1% he advocates revolting against and he also pays a fraction of his property taxes because his accountant has found a loophole qualifying his property as a "working" farm. If he's so worried about too many millionaires he should perform for free and "give back to the people."

He's a screwball, I wonder if he includes his millions in with all who he points to in his song, who have probably helped him be successful. What a dope he is. He should retire the old fart.

For a left wing nut job proclamation as if he is a working man what does he know?Nothing,he simply spews out meaningless adjectives trying to sound the plight of the over paid over retirement stuffed pensions of union workers who rob others of the right to work.,cry that they don't make enough at from 45-75.00 per hour,they have no pity from me.Next he will say that,the teachers and government workers are under paid as well.Hey wait a second isn't he a one % er.he makes over a million.Does he say he should be murdered?Maybe some one will listen to his stupid lyrics after all!

Michael Moore; Susan Surandand; Bruce Spingstein and on and on, they have made money off the "poor person" what a bunch of hyprocrits! If they are so very concerned they would start giving their money to the 99%'s and pay extra taxes....but no...talk is cheap, actions reflect the true person!!!
He hasn't written anything since the mid to late 70's that I even bother listening to. Has become just another artist making cash off his past successes of 30+ years ago. Never was the best singer, but now just sounds horrible. --- VOTE FOR AMERICA in November --- Stay Well/Stay Safe/Stay Free
One more reason I'll never care to listen to anything Springstein has to say, music or otherwise.
Wow! I wish I had thought of this! If all of the 1% people are exterminated, we will get rid of the Hollywood crew, most of the members of Congress, Obama, extraneous politicians, Al Gore, and other undesirables. 'Bye, 'bye Springsteen!

Springsteen is a 'has been' and obviously not very bright either. Isn't he a 1%-er? Is he asking 'some one from the 99%' to put him out of his misery? Sounds like he is begging some one to aim at that target he just created for himself. NUTZ!!!

Yes Bruce. start with the banksters, and the top banksters... those are the 1 percent.

Never bought any Springsteen and never will. These "musicians" think they can influence the public with their political views, and really, for their own good, they should keep quiet!!! The last person I would listen to is some rich, pampered Hollyhead...chances are they don't have a clue what real life is like!!!
