Springsteen's Lack of Skill
Ricci Wright
Member Posts: 8,259 ✭✭
I like Springsteen's music not his politics. Just listened to an interview in which he stated he had to be successful in music due to the fact he had no other skills with which to earn a living. I have had many jobs from digging ditches to driving trucks and heavy equipment to sound man/stage hand in Reno and Atlantic City.One thing they all had in common is I always tried to do my best and develop the skills to do the job. That always seemed to work pretty well for me.
I was wondering if "The Boss's" lack of skills contributed to his politics. Discuss this amongst yourselves.[:)]

i don't hitch my appreciation of an entertainer doing his work to an idea like politics. apparently you do...ok
but when they become an activist and talk down to others who do not agree with them, then i have an issue
If someone truly loves America, yet holds a different opinion from my own, I can respect that. If you are just being a hate mongering *, then I can't respect that. And that very thing is what a lot of these pretenders do.
Bruce is borderline with me.
Peace

I must admit, that the more flagrant liberal entertainers do put me off of their performances, in any venue. Not that I completely boycott any thing they are in, but it certainly takes away from my appreciation of their other skills. Every man and woman is entitled to their own opinions, but when they start telling me how to think, and that I am a * if I don't agree with them, then they have gone too far. Right or left. agree or disagree. There are performers that I will not watch if I can help it, because I believe that their actions border on treason.

We'll said, Dan.
I had a lengthy response typed up, re-read it, and decided not to post it.
Springsteen, and others of their Liberal mindset, have lost me as a conduit to espouse their mindless drivel.
If you choose to continue supporting those like him, by furthering their careers, in any way whatsoever. I guess that is your choice.
Me, not so much.
Never mind.
My reply, was not directed towards you Ricci. I'm sorry if it came across that way.
I understood your post.
I believe Bruce's political views and mindset, came from his association with the Hollywood elite. His lack of skills, not withstanding.

While I agree with Uncle Ted on just about every issue and respect him for not caving to the libs and speaking his mind no matter who it pisses off, a concert should not be a political platform.
Now with that, I lost tons of respect for Jon Bon Jovi who not only had an opinion but went out of his way to give a campign concert for hillary.
No matter what side of the fence they are on I don't want politics and music/entertainment mixed at the same venue.
Bruce has always been a leftist twit speaking his mind where it didn't need spoke.
No and neither do I. I guess I didn't make myself clear. quote:Originally posted by discusdad

I think you were plenty clear, Ricci. I agree with you.
You began your statement with this:
quote:I like Springsteen's music not his politics.
Where can there be confusion absent some real effort?
Screw Springsteen!
He's a complete sellout, always has been. He's made millions under the guise he represented the 'working man', but he's just a punk who never did any real 'work' himself. He just sang about it.
He's supported nearly every ultra-liberal initiative, candidate and policy.
F'em!
I would like to see that liberal * mason tend for a day. He wouldn't cut it and would start crying by 9am![:D][:D][:D]
These famous libtards that have never done a days work in their lives are so much smarter and better than the working class, at least in their minds.
I like FCD's sentiments; F' em!!!
Screw Springsteen!

I wouldn't piss on his face if his teeth were on fire.

...and besides his guitar banging isn't music like Merle, Waylon, and Willie! BB King is better than Springsteen..[;)]
I've often looked at the guys in some of those bands and figured if they couldn't play, they'd be bagging groceries at the supermarket.
Cause his skill in music is pretty pathetic.
I can't imagine he'd do a worse job digging a ditch.
This is why when I had the choice between ZZ Top or Ted Nugent I chose ZZ Top.

Throw Jimmy, "I love Obama", Buffet in that group. Talk about a liberal. For someone that loves fishing and the outdoors, he sides with a group, who consistently goes against him. He does not talk politics while on stage, but has given concerts to benefit the liberal wackados.

And the horse he rode in on. I do not knowingly support anyone that is actively trying to destroy my way of life. George Cloney, Barbara Streisand and a whole passel load of others can KMA. I do everything I can to avoid them and any product they sell.
Might as well be weighing in on Doris Day's and Bing Cosby's politics.
Everyone you've named is on a "reunion" tour.

I'd like to blame autocorrect. But I can't.
Crosby. Damit. [:I]
And fiery auto crashes
Some will die in hot pursuit
While sifting through my ashes
Some will fall in love with life
And drink it from a fountain
That is pouring like an avalanche
Coming down the mountain
