Social Trump threatens Bruce Springsteen

HOLA said:
Wut.

The Republicans were mad at the Dixie Chicks because they criticized Bush. The reaction would have been the same whether they made the comments in NYC or London. What difference does it make? Since when do Americans have to be in America to speak about America? Do Trump's people follow this rule? They're going to El Salvador and Greenland and making commercials.

Yea that was what set it off was doing it where they were. Also if agree it should be called out when the other side does it. I don't like Trump talking any shit about Biden when he is overseas.

‘This dried out prune of a rocker’: Donald Trump attacks Bruce Springsteen after musician’s fiery speeches

Springsteen had told Manchester crowd that Trump was ‘unfit’ and ‘treasonous’, leading to angry outburst from the president
www.theguardian.com www.theguardian.com

Donald Trump has angrily insulted Bruce Springsteen after the veteran musician said Trump was heading a “corrupt, incompetent and treasonous administration”. Springsteen made a series of vehement speeches on stage in Manchester as he kicked off his latest tour, arguing that Trump was “an unfit president” heading up “a rogue government”...

“Sleepy Joe didn’t have a clue as to what he was doing, but Springsteen is ‘dumb as a rock,’ and couldn’t see what was going on, or could he (which is even worse!)? This dried out ‘prune’ of a rocker (his skin is all atrophied!) ought to KEEP HIS MOUTH SHUT until he gets back into the Country, that’s just ‘standard fare’. Then we’ll all see how it goes for him!”
......

MAGAts, are you OK with your president threatening an American citizen like this, for exercising his rights to free speech?

I'm a springsteen fan and there's a lot of us, we wouldn't let anything happen to him.

He did say he was going to do anything to him for speaking his opinion.

He just said what a lot people believe and that's keep it in house.

The Dixie Chicks found out the same thing.

Elvis' manager gave him some of the best advice of his career early on when he told him to never talk politics because either way you'd be pissing off half the public or half your audience. Springsteen has done it in recent years.

I find it so ironic too because I'd suppose so many of the people who were fanatics for springsteen, working class, rural, struggling americans were his main fans. I find it ironic that his politics is so different from what I would guess theirs would be.

You either respect a guy for opening his mouth or you don't. He could easily shutup and go on with his life like Elvis and many others do.

As far as his career, he'll never need for money or fame again. I'm sure he's lost fans, he'll never lose me.
 
the fact that the president of the united states can speak to pettily and threateningly without major repercussions is unacceptable to say the leaste. oh my what we have lost letting these losers and degenerates in office.

trump has degraded the office of the presidency profoundly.

I just think it's silly for someone to worry about what some singer is saying in that position really.

Springsteen has always talked politics, if people paid attention to his songwriting, which I don't think Republicans generally do, which Is how Paul Ryan can claim he's a Rage Against The Machine fan.

The Ghost Of Tom Joad (which RATM covered, incidentally) is about a character from The Grapes of Wrath by Steinbeck. etc, etc.

I know he did, and he's always been somewhat political but early on, he wasn't, I'd say he was more limited in his themes and vision up until maybe Born In The USA meaning the oppressive forces were maybe a parent or an employer, he matured and started to see how things are much bigger than that. He's not perfect though, he made the single Born In The USA and played the patriot angle up as well as said that it wasn't a patriotic song, he played both sides. And as he's gotten older, he's gotten more and more outspoken in interviews and more articulate. I'm aware he's always been for the marginalized americans but he expanded that to include marginalized latinos too, the irony to me is, those two groups have been at each other's throats forever.

As for my own feelings, he's just a person and as his fanzine creator, Charles Cross, told me "he's not what you think he is" and went on to explain that by saying, and I paraphrase "people think that bruce is the one exception to rockstars, that he doesn't do things for money and that's not true, the last album was put out to make money" I think it was either one of Bruce's greatest hits albums with the teaser of one or two new songs to make fans buy one more album, or it was the "Tracks" set which was packaged in different versions to make idiot fans spend the maximum amount. He's just a man. To his credit he admits it, "the public Bruce Springsteen doesn't exist".

While there's hardline steps that need to be taken before such a situation was to be created. We dont need masters. I dont know about you, I dont.
