1. Love Springsteen

Always been one of my favorites and I love his politics too.

[romantico]

2. Lets not forget

Bruce was the first to stand up and support the Dixie Chicks when they were attacked.

[lligrd]

3. Yep, He Always Stands Up For The Truth

and he is really hard for conservatives to attack since so many of his songs have been pro America.

[Colorado Progressive]

4. I think half of Americans only listen to people like Springsteen,

so Im glad they stand up and do what they do!!!!

5. Springsteen absolutely rocks, always has, always will.

Thanks for this post.

[trusty elf]

6. When he held the mic up for the crowd to cheer the Bill of Rights

the response was pretty tepid. Apparently, people care more about sports.

Sigh.

[Riktor]

7. Half of his audience...

... still thinks "Born in the USA" is a patriotic anthem. Nitwits...

[wisteria]

13. I would bet unfortunately, some in the audience don't even know what it it.

Not to worry, Springsteen will continue to educate them.

15. According to Backstreets, in the audience it could be very hard to hear Bruce's comments:

"There in the crowd we could hardly hear a word of the interview segments, only partly because of all the Brooocing, but the music spoke volumes."

8. Goosepimples!

chicken skin video there! thanks!

[stlsaxman]

9. "I know it's early- but IT'S LATE... so come and join us!"

so simply put, powerful, beautiful and hopeful.

[AwakeAtLast]

10. Bruuuuuuuce for President!!!!

:kick:

[OneBlueSky]

11. BRU-U-U-U-U-U-U-U-U-CE!!! . . . gotta love him . . . n/t

.

12. I am thrilled that Springsteen is speaking out about the unfortunate changes taking place

in our country now.

One small complaint, the song should have been played also. It is a good one.

14. Here you go! Version with comments AND song:

Sound and picture quality for the clip I found last night wasn't very good, so I went with just the commentary:

17. He has a new albumn, is that correct?

Along with Steve Earle....and who else? Another old time anti-war singer songwriter...I can't remember who she is.

18. Bruce Springsteen represents the "good American" worldwide

He's an archetype: honest, rugged, hard-working, helpful and cool. He's a REAL American Idol.
Very important to have icons like him speak out for our side.
