BRUCE SPRINGSTEEN, “BORN IN THE USSR???”

I’ve always wondered why it is that so many of our entertainers, and I use the term loosely, who, once well beyond their prime, in an effort to gain some level of attention for themselves always choose to attack the country where they had the opportunity to accumulate significant wealth. I can only assume that they think there is something to be gained by making outlandish statements about those things that they very clearly know absolutely nothing about. Most of these individuals are uneducated, with many never even making out of high school. And yet, because they can sing or can act, they somehow feel entitled to lecture the rest of us.

And while there is nothing that can be considered as special about any of these people, they seem to think that their God-given talent somehow makes them smarter than the rest of us and also somehow makes them someone worthy of being listened to when they go about the maligning of the country that so many of us love. My first response to all of these losers who have never had to work for anything in their life is to tell them that if they don’t like it here they most certainly afford to leave. In fact, many of us wish that they would. And while they may threaten to, they won’t because this is where the money is. So in short, they are nothing but liars and frauds.

Case in point is none other than Bruce Springsteen, that aging, mediocre singer who thinks people want to hear about his politics. He announced this past Tuesday that he will be on tour this spring “in defense of America,” which he claims is “under attack by our wannabe king and his rouge government.” Taking to ‘X’ to announce his three-month “Land of Hope and Dreams” tour, Springsteen said, “We are living through dark, disturbing, and dangerous times.” And the near 80-year-old actually went on to say, “But do not despair, the calvary is coming.” As far as I’m concerned, he should have left the spotlight decades ago, but like so many others he seems addicted to it.

This buffoon went on to say, “We will be rocking your town in celebration and in defense of America, American democracy, American freedom, our American constitution, and our sacred American dream, all of which are under attack by our wannabe king and his rouge government in Washington, D.C.” Frankly, I’ve never understood the draw. Every song sounds pretty much the same and I’m never able to make out what he’s saying. His so-called music isn’t worth a dime so I can only assume that he’s hoping his hatred of American will bring people in. Like so many other has-beens, old Bruce is just trying to draw a little attention to himself.

There’s nothing more embarrassing and/or undignified than these geriatric celebrities who desperately attempt to cling to their last shred of cultural relevance by mouthing any of the many fashionable political catch phrases of the day. Springsteen, Neil Young and a whole host of others will be remembered only as people who chose to utterly beclown themselves at the end of their careers and as a result badly diminished whatever legacy it was that they might have otherwise enjoyed. I’m thinking that perhaps he should just stick to his crappy music because I seriously doubt that those who are still fans want to hear any of his stupid opinions.

Poor old Bruce, times are so tough under a “tyrant king” that he has to work to make a living at age 76. It must be difficult trying to live off a net worth of a billion dollars. That someone of such mediocre talent could amass such wealth says much about the country that this moron seems to hate so much. This guy should be considered an embarrassment by every single American. He has all the self-awareness of a pet rock and the IQ of a turnip. And doesn’t he know that nobody buys his “working man’s hero” schtick anymore? He just comes across as sounding pretty stupid. He is yet another example of how it is that intelligence is not a requirement to be a yodeler.

And finally, who is it that would even care about Springsteen anymore if he didn’t embrace the idiotic woke causes? Springsteen is a phony. He likes to portray himself as a blue-collar man of the people when in fact he is a 100 percent corporate money grubber. His fan base can’t afford the cheap seats at his boring concerts as he croaks out songs that all sound alike. As I said, I never got the draw. And so, in Springsteen we have another ‘Limousine Liberal’ who will leave his enormous mansion in New Jersey, board his private jet to fly all over the country, stay in exclusive 5-star hotels all while at the same time proclaiming just how bad things are in America. Got it.
