...political insight, I seek out Springsteen and his ilk.
Often, Bruce’s desire to identify with middle and lower-class America causes critics to paint him a hypocrite, considering he is obviously quite wealthy.
In 2004, he endorsed Democratic presidential candidate John Kerry and lent the Kerry campaign his song, “No Surrender.” He supported Obama in 2008 as well, even opening the president’s inaugural celebration concert.
On social issues, Springsteen has been a longtime supporter of labor unions and is an outspoken supporter of gay rights and gay marriage.
If he’s anything, he’s a Limousine Liberal.
OY!
