And here he is, last night, at the Democratic Party rally....
"You can't start a fire/Worrying about your little world falling apart...."
Now, there's a political slogan.
But who's the best candidate for those of us who do worry about our "little world" falling apart?

I think that passing a law for states where I don't live to make them do abortions is more important than the wars that the Democrats support, which have pushed us to the edge of WW3 in a desperate quest to maintain US world domination, because I care about people.
But who's the best candidate for those of us who do worry about our "little world" falling apart?
'"There is not a thing that comes to mind".
Bruce is a hasbeen. Nobody cares what Mr. "NOT" a working man has to say anymore. He should retire with Obama and live happily rich and famous on their yachts with the other elites, and leave us alone.
Except for the Ukrainians, Timofey.
"in that puzzlingly straining voice he's been foisting upon us since the 1970s."
People say the same thing about Bob Dylan's voice, but they both have sold millions and millions of records, so obviously a lot of people really like it.
In the front row, they are advocating the use of violence to secure victory in this election.
"We fight, We win!"
The same thing sprung to my mind, Dylan’s voice.
Interesting that Trump is way wealthier than either Springsteen or Obama but he has chosen to be in the full time fight (fight, fight, fight) of his life so that our little worlds do not fall apart.
…and just like that, with Kamala and Barack in attendance, the number of black people who have witnessed a Springsteen show moved from zero to almost one…
That was really, really bad there Bruce. Time to go sit on the porch on the old rocking chair.
"But who's the best candidate for those of us who do worry about our "little world" falling apart?" Trump of course.
One is a poseur, the other, a poet. Not surprising that you can't differentiate.
Nothing does more to draw the brothers to vote for you than a Springsteen convert…
…more evidence they just plan to steal it…
Totally overrated.
Springstein had one good song - Jersey Girl. Imus used to use it as a bumper.
lol
"People say the same thing about Bob Dylan's voice, but they both have sold millions and millions of records, so obviously a lot of people really like it."
No. Bob Dylan has famously changed his voice repeatedly. It's more like he comes up with a new way to sing on each album. But Dylan impersonators rarely use, say, the "John Wesley Harding" voice.
I'm talking about the style of singing. Springsteen uses this urgency which made some sense when he was young and struggling but is weird half a century later.
Hadn’t realized he’s transitioned to being a talk-singer but having two past their prime old dudes open for a politician who has never been in her prime kinda summarizes this campaign in a sloppy little package.
The whole objective of the left is NOT to leave you alone. You WILL participate in the NWO, like it or not.
"It is the common fate of the indolent [*] to see their rights become a prey to the active [**]. The condition upon which God hath given liberty to man is eternal vigilance; which condition if he break, servitude [***] is at once the consequence of his crime and the punishment of his guilt." John Philpot Curran (1750- 1817).
In other words, fight-&-defend or all those hard-earned rights will be taken without a moment’s notice. And as recent evidence, look at how governors and their staffs acted during the COVID-19 lockdown.
* The indolent - those who may complain but yet won’t take action
** The active - experience has taught that the left has a never-ending list of stupid, freedom-depriving ideas; the left will NEVER leave us alone. Green New Deal; elimination of 1st Am., 2d Am., mail-in voting, shut-down orders, and on and on
*** Servitude - comes in a variety of forms, from detention (jail, stay-at-home orders) to economic deprivation via regulations (which always result in bigger government, higher prices for goods/services and greater unemployment) to increased taxation
Dylan was a Willbury, automatically placing him as one of the top rockers of all time. Bruce was never even considered for that honor.
Probably not the one dancing in the dark.
To he Mrs watched this live. "Dollar-store Dylan" I said, as I was getting a cup of tea, hearing "The Boss" wheezing through The Promised Land." I heard Tyler Perry cite "the fine people" liable, and went upstairs. Later I heard Obama's voice. It has lost its silkiness. Too many cigarettes I guess. Too much distaste for half the American people.
I liked Bruce a lot more when he was a skinny Jersey surfer and long haired car greaser. That he knew his way around
a Strat fret board was just icing. That person is a long time gone now. Say good night Brucie.
But who's the best candidate for those of us who do worry about our "little world" falling apart?
You have two weeks to make up your mind, lady.. Harris calls Trump a fascist? The woman who was selected, not elected, and foisted on the public by the likes of Chuck Schumer and Nancy Pelosi s a hard core Marist, like her Daddy used to be. And outside of Madison people aren’t ready for that just yet. In fact ever
Bruce usually plays a Tele not a Strat.
Did the Boss wink at Kamala when he sang, "Just wrap your legs 'round these velvet rims, and strap your hands 'cross my engines"?
I remembered these TV commercials as someone (ridiculously) imitating Bruce Springsteen (it's just fucking beer for Christ's sake) but having just given a listen it might be somebody imitating Richie Havens. What do I know?
Esquire/Tele hybrid, some say.
In re: The puzzlingly straining voice.
It's a Fender Esquire with a Telecaster neck and a lot of modification to the electronics. The pickups were custom made by the shop Bruce bought it from in 72.
Bruce started to ad the twang to his voice in 1980. I never found it appealing.
I don’t take my music recommendations from economists and I don’t take policy recommendations from musicians. Milton Friedman and Elvis Costello are two of my heroes, for very different reasons. And Bruce hasn’t done great work in 40 years, but he did some very good work at the beginning of his career. “Backstreets” is a fantastic song. His memoir is fun too. I prefer to remember him before his equestrian era.
Springsteen has endorsed every Democratic presidential candidate since...well, as a far back as I can remember. Means as little to me as the fact that Ted Nugent endorses Trump. As for Springsteen being washed up: He still fills stadiums and arenas. His records still hit the charts, although he, like every other recording artist these days, sells far fewer records. Everybody streams.
There is no bigger hack and fraud than Springsteen.
A parade of rich celebrities - propagandizing the vote.
They have no connection to the Americans who see everything shrink - all while politicians get richer and richer.
While I can't say you're wrong, you can argue that both adopt affected voices to serve their purposes. I saw Dylan a couple months ago, and he's singing in a different voice from the one he's used since Time Out of Mind--even on the three releases of songs from the American Songbook. I loved Bruce's first two LPs and saw him perform 4 times during those years. He has a couple of singing voices himself. I do think the Woody Guthrie/dust bowl survivor one he's used for his acoustic albums might not stand the test of time.
Get Obama up there to sing Born in the USA.
Musk and Tucker Carlson are really 'men of the people'. Both born with a silver spoon.
There are no stage right/house left images of the audience that I've been able to find.
Hillary (never gonna be president) is on TV screeching Trump is a Nazi! Kamala is hanging with the ultra rich.
Trump is with the people.
Springsteen in Atlanta? That's really odd. Is the Harris campaign acknowledging that their appeal lies with white Boomers? Because that's what Springsteen in Atlanta says to me.
I hear Kajagoogoo is playing at the next Dem Rally.
Have Joey introduce them.
"You have two weeks to make up your mind, lady.. "
It's not going to be decided by one vote. Don't worry about me.
rehajm wins the interwebs for today!
Mark- Elon works for a living. You loyal leftists want him in a gulag. Tucker works for a living.
Oh Dan. You're better than that...
Surely you boys can find some policy related ways of criticizing Harris and not attack her ancestry? Shame on you. Aren't you a half-breed yourself, dan? Like ann's boys? Did your squaw mama fuck a white man? We can play ugly too, boys... Don't go for the racial humor in 2024 if you want us to win.
I'm thinking about this more. It's kind of mind boggling that Beyonce is playing in Houston tomorrow. Texas? Seems like Bey wasn't interested in traveling for the campaign. Which is saying a lot. Because Bey wouldn't go to ATL, they had to drag Bruce in.
Nobody's "worried" about you...
We just suspect your silly games are offputting to a lot of people who understand that gender is not an excuse for being a ninny, at any age. Hth. (You don't see how you're coming across every day... "Gee, what news stories should I read? Gee, who should I vote for? Gee, golly gee, as a female once tenured professor who can't think her way out of a paper bag, don't be like me!" You making the intellectual firepower of the flyover states look bad, ma'am.
"Is it a coot? Is it a duck??" Gee, maybe if I cracked a guidebook I too could figure it out without the boys giving me the answer... lol. Silly girl. Go pose for your husband out there and tell us if the sun came up today?
She picks the dude whose biggest hit, Born in the USA, is about how much he hates America. Appropriate.
Being black is her policy!
"White Power" ammirite, tommy and danny and larry? You guys are voting Trump for the wrong reasons, I suspect, but the white cuck vote counts too!
Derve. Suppose you tell us what Harris' policies are so we can discus them.
"You guys are voting Trump for the wrong reasons, " Tell us what those reasons are.
I don't get the humor here, white boys.
Can you show your math? What part of the mulattos Obama and Harris add up to one whole White man like you?? (cmon...stop deleting, everybody can see what you're trying to hide. Your ugly humor went out in the mid 60s, during your privileged white boyhoods, when you were "inventing" skateboards and staying out til your mama's called you home for supper when the streetlights came on...
In America, we acknowledge Black people as fully human today, just as equal to your Pure White Stock as if they were 100 percent Pure White too. America loves Mutts. Danno's a half breed. meade's wife was previously married to a jew (nttawwt) and had two "white" boys of her own...
Don't do racial humor. Trump voters don't need you to win. Sit it out if you're gonna go ugly?
I care about Ukrainians so much that I want they to fight to the last man for the sacred principle of forcing people who have lived as Russians for centuries, speaking Russian in their ancestral homes, to stop speaking it. It was an insult to the "dignity" of Ukrainians, that's why they had their "Revolution of Dignity." The shame of being neutral would have been too much for all of those men to live with, I am sure. So pouring gasoline on that fire was the kindest thing. You see, I care about people.
This is no secret. In the first minute of his Broadway show he says the following:
“I’m a fraud. I’ve never held an honest job in my entire life. I’ve never worked nine to five. I’ve never done any hard labor, and yet it is all that I’ve written about.”
He is, however, a great story teller
Oh no. I don't do your homework for you. I'm voting Trump for the same reasons I always have: it has nothing at all to do with my White Racial Purity...
It's sad to have to hate on Kamala for her ancestry when she has so many policies out there you could be taking legit potshots at. Start wising up, and reading up, doing your own homework.
If you do, you won't have to resort to cheap racial, or queer cracks to explain why Trump appeals to you. He's not a hater like some of you frightened White boys seems to be. I guess if a tenured old lady was paying my bills, buying me camper cars to play in, but I had to live in Madison Wisconsin in another man's family home, I'd be insecure too...
Just lay off the racial jokes, boys. THey're gonna bite ya in the ass in the end, no joke.
I hear -- word on the street is she even keeps you in a separate bedroom, meade. To call in when the old lady needs servicing... lol. No wonder you need the cheap racial humor to sustain ya.
In the 70’s the people that Springsteen was singing about were going to discos and listening to The Bee Gees and Chic. Springsteen’s fan base was suburban and college educated.
A prototypical Springsteen charachter would have to be Tony Manero from “Saturday Night Fever”. Manero would not have had a clue as to the existence of Springsteen.
The theatre where Jon Landeau proclaimed Springsteen the future of rock and roll was literally across the street from Harvard Yard.
In 2020 I saw Springsteen give the Freshman convocation address (via Zoom) at Boston College. Watching that, along with the Broadway show, one can only reach the conclusion that Springsteen loves America. I disagree with man politically, but he is not anti-American.
I find it ironic that most of the people Springsteen champions are probably Trump voters.
Poor Bruce. When he was campaigning for Obama and Kerry his heart was in it, but with Kamala you can tell he'd rather stick needles in his eyes. I've attended something like 150 Springsteen shows and listened to hundreds (maybe thousands) of his performances over the last 50 years and I don't think he ever sounded worse than last night. Unfortunately for Da Boss he's now a hostage of the Democratic Party so even when they're running a retard like Kamala he's obligated to take the stage. Wonder if it all was worth that billion dollars in his bank account?
Maybe they got something on him. Maybe he visited Epstein Island?
No one is holding their breath for you to crack open a book nor seeking to see you in a pose. Don't be envious.
