Bruce Springsteen, Hypocrite

Baiting The Left Wuhan Flu 24 Comments

In a recent podcast, Adam Carolla played this diatribe by Bruce Springsteeen on May 14, 2025 in Manchester, UK.

Carolla pointed out that while Springsteen intended it as a rant against Donald Trump, his words actually much more apply to @Kamala Harris & the corpse aka Joe Biden during Covid.

Here are some choice quotes:

  • “In my home, the America I love, the America I’ve written about that has been a beacon of hope and liberty for 250 years, is currently in the hands of a corrupt, incompetent, and treasonous administration.Tonight, we ask all who believe in democracy and the best of our American experience to rise with us. Raise your voices against authoritarianism and let freedom ring.”
  • “Now, there’s some very weird, strange and dangerous shit going on out there right now.In America, they are persecuting people for using their right to free speech and voicing their dissent. This is happening now.”
  • “In my country, they’re taking sadistic pleasure in the pain that they inflict on loyal American workers, they’re rolling back historic Civil Rights legislation that led to a more just and plural society, they’re abandoning our great allies and siding with dictators against those struggling for their freedom.”
  • “A majority of our elected representatives have failed to protect the American people from the abuses of an unfit president and a rogue government.”

Springsteen had no problem “othering” those who refused to take the experimental jab.

  2. Yeah, no surprise and well known for being a Champagne Socialist.
    He campaigned for Hitlery, often.
    And yes, Vaxtard as we see.
    And he made his mega millions first, then turned on his fans as Hitlery’s beard.
    Somewhere I’ve got that Live Four album set tucked away, but it’s been tucked away for at least 25 years. Should sell it rather than smash it.
    Damn shame, Darkness on the edge of Town was a classic album, spun plenty. That’s tucked away somewhere too. Hard to believe that’s the same retard of today.

  4. Bruce Springsteen is a character that doesn’t exist in real life. Just like Alice Cooper in makeup or the KISS scarecrows with their bondage outfits. The far left coddled millionnaire puts on his costume, jeans & plaid shirt and adopts his fake accent. He shilled for Kerry ways back, the perfect picture of the limousine liberal, fully the equal to Bono or Sting in generating idiotic platitudes. I’m not going to deny he had talent about the time I was in high school. Alice Cooper had the right attitude about politics. In that you were a fool to take political advice from an entertainer.

  5. I have no worries about Bruce Springsteen.

    He is a great musician and therefor ipso facto insane. Nuts. Bonkers. Batshit crazy.

    I worry about people who pay the least bit of attention to the political opinions of any artist, great or not.

  7. I’ve had no use for Springsteen after Born to Run. None. IMHO he peaked way too early … then just marketed himself as some fraudulent American working class hero/artist. He tried his best to be the ‘New Dylan from New Jersey’ … a legitimate unique American POET like Dylan … but his imitation was weak at best. Trust me … Springsteen will never be collecting a Nobel Prize. Ever.

    1. He was always discount Dylan, pop schmaltz dressed up as ranting union man protest ‘hottie’ that the old wobbly girls would go all wiggly for. I always found him boring as F; my husband likes “I’m on Fire” (sorry, I’ve heard the lyrics, and once you hear them — eh, no). Glory Days was sorta catchy. The only truly witty thing that ever came out of Springsteen was Reagan appropriating his song.

      And anyone who is in the horse world knows that he and his family are not the nicest, let’s just leave it at that.
      And he and his band have a nasty reputation in NJ with people of a certain age, who remember them before they got really big — liked em young they did, at least those were the rumors.

      Oh, and I can’t stand his voice. Sounds like a coonhound who has gotten his ear caught in a rotary fan most of the time.

        1. Consider it valuable humint I suppose, but yeah, not exactly a stand up citizen (nor his wife, she’s a real treat as well). And my assessment of his vocals still stands — he was trying to be Dylan, wound up sounding like Ol’ Yeller instead.
          And yes, I’m On Fire is a skeezy song — the fingerpicking is really the thing people are responding to; that was well done.

      2. LOL…funny you should mention the “I’m on Fire” song. Comedian Pete Holmes had a bit about Springsteen’s lyrics to I’m On Fire . I’m paraphrasing of course – “Hey, little girl, is your daddy home? Did he go away and leave you all alone? …” Huh??!!??” Pete goes on to say: “How is it that no one in the studio behind the glass didn’t interrupt Springsteen to say…”Hey wait a minute, Bruce…about those lyrics.” To which Bruce replied – “Hey, it gets better…”I got a bad desire”. Pretty good huh?”

        He stopped his bit after being warned by Springsteen’s legal team.

    2. Musical tastes are, of course, subjective.
      I disliked Springsteen from the get go.
      Born to Run sounded “muddy” and repetitive.
      I’ve heard better garage bands.
      Oh, and Bruce used to deep kiss his sax player. Ew.
      Comparing him to Dylan is like comparing Stephen King to Hemingway.

  8. I used to love that guy and his band. The concerts back in the day were epic 3-4 hour joyous occasions and I saw many (then tried to hunt down the bootleg recordings of same). Haven’t listened to him in years (save for “Live at the Hammersmith”) because of his politics. It makes me sad.

  10. I never liked Mr. Sptingsteen’s music, aside of “I’m on Fire”. What bothers me is how he managed to successfully sell his aura of being a “working man” throughout his career. If anything Trump is a statesman supportive of the working class, irrespective of workers’ ethnic background. This, along with his strong grassroots organizing, are the two reasons for his remarkable achievements. Springsteen though is a run of the mill elitist.

  11. I enjoyed some of his early stuff. Closer to home, a couple of the artists that I absolutely loved in high school ~55 years ago are just dead to me now. Neil Young and Joni Mitchell. Pity.
