Bruce Springsteen on CNN w/ Soledad O'Brien

I've always been an Springsteen fan. Show them who's boss! thanks Bruce.

Have always been a Bruce fan since I was a DJ in the 70's. You go Bruce. The First Amendment applies to all citizens, whether they play guitar or not!

I had to watch this clip because some radio commentators were making fun of Bruce. After viewing it I don't think Bruce say anything out of line - unlike the way they were portraying. I believe artist should say whatever they want to say but I would respect them A LOT more if they allowed their views to be challenged. When Bruce is on stage he is the only one with a microphone so the audience is captive to his ramblings. I used to attend dozens of concerts a year but I now go to very few because I don't want to hear partisan politics. It gets old from both sides. Bruce says Bush being replaced is "common sense and not politics." I guess it's true - Simple Minds = Simple Conclusions. That's why people need to think for themselves and not to let nuts like Rush Limbaugh, Ann Coulter, Bruce Springsteen or the Dixie Chicks dictate their views. In their simple minds the world is not very complex and there are not two sides to issues.

that more suffering is bad, and less suffering is good. One thing's for sure - Bush is DIRECTLY responsible for the slaughter of hundreds of thousands of innocents while his industrial buddies profit. And Bruce has every right to his unchallenged time at the mic, given how much unchallenged mic time Bush and Cheney have in equally staged, unchallenged forums. The difference is that the news reports Bush's staged snake oil pitches, but Bruuuuce actually has millions of fans who love and respect him.

...in this administration! --George W. Bush's way and the Highway.

Another point, though, is that more middle- and working-class people can actually afford to attend a Springsteen concert, if we want to, whereas attendance at a Bush event is often/usually limited to extremely high-stakes donors and/or to GOP-regulars who have signed a loyalty oath. And I've never heard of anyone being thrown out of a concert for wearing politically critical T-shirt inside the event or the wrong bumper stickers on their cars outside in the parking lot. And, I don't think the press covering a concert are ever relegated to a so-called "free speech" zone where they have no access to the event they are supposed to be covering.

As they say in Texas, "Yewbet." It's a "road warrior" deal. I've long been on the highway, and even started a near-riot long ago when I was thrown out of a Grateful Dead concert literally by the skin of my chest for not obeying the cops and licking the boot to shew respect.

Bruuuuuce has changed America for the better, and tapped into the emotions of millions. Bush is a snake-oil salesman who needs an amen choir to prove the sock in his crotch isn't just his own fantasy. Bruuuuce speaks truth to power, and is enamoured NOT by the blathering bloviating bullshit. Isn't his smile great?
