I can think of a reason: Bruce Springsteen was arrested for DWI and reckless driving in his home state of New Jersey back in November – months before his Super Bowl ad for Jeep ran

Be-cause New Jersey’s supermajority Leftist Deep State is wholly corrupt? And they were protecting their loudest leftist mouthpiece?
Yup, I have to agree.
Money can buy a lot of blue-collar street cred.
Reminds me of one Indian big wig saying ”it took a lot of money to make Gandhi look so poor”.
Why he’s just a good old boy farmer trying to make his way.
This was just a friendly reminder from the bureaucrats, the government and elites that they are running the GD show! Now sit down and shut up peasants!
This article sums up all you need to know about these type of “people”:
https://humanevents.com/2012/03/12/bruce-springsteen-a-taxdodging-farmer/
“Bruce Springsteen is a man of the people. He stands up for the little guy. A regular blue-collar Joe. A union man. A bona fide working-class hero.
And, when he’s not busy being all that… he’s a tax-dodging liberal hypocrite worth over $200 million who pretends to be a farmer to save hundreds of thousands of dollars on his property taxes that would have otherwise funded the welfare programs he pretends to care about.”
I think Steven Crowder summed up Springsteen best in the heading of one of his videos he just posted a day or two ago on the jeep commercial. Can’t repeat the heading here.
I never liked the little twerp’s music or his faked voice either, although I USED to like jeeps. Libs ruined those too.
Good article. His nonsense persona never fooled anyone w half a brain. Same with other twits like Neil Young, Bono, etc. Heck, let’s throw in Prince Justine the Ponce while we’re at it!
You nailed it johnboy.
I just wonder, when caught, was Bruce driving a Jeep?

I was never much of a Springsteen fan myself, though his album Born In the U. S. A. is an exception.
Mr. Walton … if you think THATS a Tax dodge … just Check out Gov. Gavin Newsom’s “winery” in the Napa Valley which takes full advantage of “agricultural lands” exceptions … not to mention the numerous other tax dodges available, such as investment tax credits (a huge number for wineries specifically – as lots of up-front investment costs get away tax FREE) … along with his tasting room, and boutique grocery store … all tax dodges while the property skyrockets in value … virtually tax free. Yeah … the rich get richer by dodging taxes. Yes, Virginia … even rich leftists who claim the mantle of Revolucion’
We’re told the rock icon was cooperative throughout the arrest. As far as we can tell, this is his first arrest for DWI.
I take that as there have been other incidents.
Do we know which of his fleet of super-cars he was driving to elicit the “reckless driving” charge? His Bugatti? As if … he drives … a Jeep. Puhleeze.
“Springsteen ‘controlled every second of what you see and hear, and that’s why it feels so personal.’ ”
So, the Red Star is Springsteen approved.
I’d like to congratulate Jeep on their selection of a drunk driver to promote their Jeep vehicles
Damn right JD – “I’d like to congratulate Jeep on their selection of a drunk driver to promote their Jeep vehicles!”
You never know when you may have to use that 4WD option!
(When I hear him on my radio, I change stations.)
In addition to “saving” his Jeep commercial, it preserved his place at the Biden inauguration:
“Earlier this month, Springsteen also performed at Joe Biden’s inauguration with a rendition of ‘Land of Hope and Dreams’ at the Lincoln Memorial.
Springsteen opened the evening’s Celebrating America event, which was hosted by Tom Hanks. “
Jeep went downhill once it started making Ninas and Ladas look like well built vehicles.
When you pay $60,000 for a vehicle, the doors need to be held by something other than a cheap fabric belt. They also made the sun roof out of cheap fabric.
We have an ‘04 Liberty; one of the last years it was made with steel door swing limiter devices and a hard sun roof. The dealership said it had a great deal on trading in for a new one. Told them “no, thank you.”
Do you recall the commercials on US tv in the mid 1970’s featuring a crew driving a Jeep and lapping around Australia drinking Budweiser beer?
Talk about “truth in advertising”! At that stage Jeep was a name on which you wiped your boots here and as for Budweiser – – .
There was an assembly plant here which got the inside running on that state’s government 4wd orders. One department lined up the spec sheets for Landcruiser, Nissan Patrol, Landrover and Jeep. And selected everything (+or -) that cut Jeep out of the running – they were that bad. Eventually left the market, now back under current ownership. And get mentioned in a joke doing the rounds on a woman’s qualifications to be a lemon picker.
It’s good to be the Boss and have millions. Don’t try this at home peasants … er … fellow workers. Now I’m off to buy a Jeep.
I hope he wasn’t criminally prohibited from driving! He could be facing charges unless he had a stunt driver or an interlock device on his Cheep.
Here’s another take from Denny.
http://grouchyoldcripple.com/2021/02/jeep-ad/
As a recent Jeep owner (2017) we are now embarrassed to own one as of this moment.
But, the deception and openly rubbing our noses in it is really galling. Could any one of us see Ted Nugent being allowed to have his endorsement remain on the Jeep product line of roles were reversed? There would have been a nuclear meltdown 2 to 3 weeks prior to Duperbowl if that were the case. Federal inquiry, firings at Jeep, and prison sentences handed out like candy at Halloween.
But not in Liberal World. Bruce probably made a handsome profit and is driving off into the sunset, chuckling while he pounds back another barley sandwich.
Jeep pulled the add after just three days – much negative blow back from the Right and the Left.

Clearly born to run not to drive.
Others have said it better, but,
Jeep marketers actually picked a spokesman for their Super Bowl ad who rabidly hates anyone who is not far left. I hope no jeep is ever sold in a red state again.
As a buddy of mine from the past called him… Bruce Stinkfish.
Stringbean is actually Italian, despite his surname.
Jeez, looky looky, another leftist flaming hypocrite and lawbreaker.
Nothing EVER changes!
Bruce Springsteen received the Presidential Medal of Freedom on November 22 2016 from Barack Obama, the anniversary of the date when an earlier Democrat President blew another Democrat President’s head off.
The Presidential Medal of Freedom is the highest civilian award a U.S. President can bestow upon an American civilian.
Some may ask, “Why did Bruce Springsteen receive a professional quality Ray Charles impersonation from the popo for three months?”
I do not know. Ask Barry. He may just take time out from his third term to answer you.
