Hello,

I'm sorry if this really doesn't belong here (there is a mention of Bruce in the piece) but there bigger idea would be the similarities. It's a kind description of Mellencamp. I've found his music to be pretty boring and dislike the message in some of his songs ("Hold on to 16 as long as you can" - yeah, life really sucks after your 16) but can appreciate his thoughts on Reagan.

I've never cared for his music, but he's a more authentic version of the Springsteen myth.

So she's not embarrassed that she looked like Scott Baio?

Who still uses the word pinko? It's like calling Catholics papists. (Which, well, I still do but that's ironic history nerd stuff.)

The guy that was the singer for Staind released some abysmal songs last year about how society is too far left and typical Fox News talking points. Of course it was a minor hit. Anyway, one of the big lines is:
Am I the only one who quits singin' along
Every time they play a Springsteen song?

I guess it was about time he stopped having cross culture appeal. He’s been pretty openly liberal forever. Though come on, people aren’t actually going to stop shouting along to the chorus of the song where the US government exploits then abandons it’s young service men.
Look, you have to establish context for these things. And I maintain that unless you appreciate the Fall of Constantinople, the Great Fire of London, and Mickey Mantle's fatalist alcoholism, live Freddy makes no sense. If you want to half-ass it, fine, go call Simon Schama to do the appendix.

It’s curious how Bruce is so misunderstood. He used to be some working-class icon that the right could claim, but now he’s some kind of left-wing radical. He’s a bland liberal of the populist sort, more romantic than critical. There’s no real mystery there.

More so, how much the working definitions of left and right now almost totally exclude traditional economic questions, and instead revolve around cultural questions. And, tighter yet, cultural questions getting boiled down to inclusivity and tolerance versus exclusivity and intolerance.

I recall him speaking out against Bush Sr. in '88, tho that's not the same thing as endorsing *snicker* Michael Dukakis.

And now you have to rethink a lot of stuff. You are one step closer to becoming a Napalm Death superfan.
