Springsteen has long been a slobbering sycophant for anybody with the letter D next to their title. After sucking up to Obama for years, he threw his help behind the incompetent Kamala Harris and was on the roster of clueless celebrities who carried out or spoke at her rallies.
But he doesn’t often do political messaging on stage for paying clients, which is a sound coverage.
It’s also one that’s stored me, a righty who has at all times had to separate the artists from the artwork, coming back. Born and raised close to the Jersey Shore — Springsteen’s primordial soup — I used to be only 7 when I first noticed him dwell. Since then, I’ve given The Boss more money than I would like to admit. There’s been many concert events, albums and live performance albums.

The Democrats long in the past deserted the American employees of Springsteen lyrics like highway kill, and still view them as vile, pungent creatures, not invaluable constituents.
Yet The Boss is still carrying water for the occasion that has subverted democracy for the final three presidential elections — a occasion that propped up a decaying outdated man so a shadow administration might govern.

Meanwhile, Trump — a man not blessed with the reward of restraint — of course took the bait.
The president unloaded on X, writing, “I see that Highly Overrated Bruce Springsteen goes to a Foreign Country to speak badly about the President of the United States.
