I like Tracs, he has some very good songs on that collection
to your point on politics, it's hard when Bruce made himself incredibly political. then of course someone make a comment and it's off to the races. Bruce fans are like Greg fans, irrational to a point imho.
that said, I judge him on his music and the notion of being a Jersey guy and yet, hasn't done a single thing for Rutgers. Even when Corzine rolled the budget back to 1994 level and minority groups were hit the hardest, he didn't even consider a benefit or anything. I judge him on that.
Thanks for your reply.
Respectfully, it's not really that hard about the politics. He's a product of his upbringing, and he shares his views like other artists do such as Ted Nugent and Kid Rock. Personally, I prefer Metallica's approach--all our welcome here- we don't care who you voted for or your beliefs, we are glad you are all here together for the same thing on one night-the music. But with Bruce's music, it is a little more difficult to separate the music considering the subject matter of some of the songs. I'm fairly down the middle on political issues, and I don't get terribly moved one way or another if someone is singing something about a political topic or taking a political stance.
Has not done a single thing for Rutgers? Why single out Bruce? Why not Bruce Willis, Bon Jovi, Frank Sinatra, Queen Latifah, and the legions of other actresses, actors, musicians and artists that have done zero for Rutgers. That's more on Rutgers than it is the artists. Just like landing whale donors, Rutgers sucks at outreach and approach--the same way the then President of Rutgers approached the Home Depot founder and blew it big time.
If Rutgers was smart, they could have (and still could ) court Springsteen and Bon Jovi to get involved with either branding or doing what Va Tech did with Metallica and have a concert in SHI stadium to raise funds or NIL money. It has been suggested, but has fallen on deaf ears. Rutgers is gonna Rutgers.
