The constant rediscovery of Springsteen's liberal politics by fans who've been listening to his music for decades is quite amazing.
OT: Deliver Me From Nowhere (Springsteen Movie)

"When Born in the USA was released it was seen as pro-veteran, and a protest against the governmental support given to them"
And you're saying that TODAY this would insult Republicans ? That is like suggesting R's are not Pro-Vet and feel that they don't deserve support. Who do you think is behind Wounded Warriors, Tunnels to Towers, and and the Gary Sinise Foundation? Which Party fired the Head of the VA over Poor care for Vets and instituted Private Care Options.?
You need to pick a better example.
I don’t think anyone would suggest that rank and file republicans aren’t pro veteran.
That said, when the undisputed “leader” of the party shows contempt for war heroes, wounded vets, and gold star families (which he has on many well documented occasions), it certainly clouds the issue for many.
Republicans have always been pro vets...it is the leader, who really never identified as a republican, until it suited him, who does not support vets.
A lot of people didn't actually listen to that song. In particular, Republicans that wanted to use it in campaign ads.
The Center was “officially” created in 2017, but was in the works long before that. It’s on the campus of Monmouth University, just blocks from where he wrote many songs. Hence the naming.
well your commie ways are showing. why call me douchebag when I've never even responded to a thing you have said on this board? I understand your level of tardation in that you get triggered easily, that's on you for being weak. Facts hurt
Budget of 55mm and that is with a 23mm tax grant by the state of NJ.
made 22mm domestically, and about the same internationally
if you and the other commie mouth breathers don't get his politics turn a lot of people off, then you truly are tard level dumb or worse, wholly myopic in your outlook which makes you even more pathetic.

He goes to my gym, not well liked at all. He's not a good person despite what some want to think.
you know in an interview, he laughs at being called a singer for the working man since he never really held a job. I find that ironic
Nah, that's not the "because," at least for me.
And nope, not in any cult. I
I call balls and strikes.
Your premise that "everybody else is doing it" is flawed for the working man's hero.

anyone on the left decrying a dictator is showing how dumb they are. Especially so when the left is the party of censorship and dictating things. The left is a cult, a pretty ignorant and dumb one at that
Back on point, Buce sucks, outside of NJ, the movie did very poorly despite being shown in the most movie outlets/venues for the first 3 weeks. His politics hurt him, I mean he basically called half his fanbase trash. Anyone denying this is a fool. No other biopic crashed so hard in the past decade.

So again I ask- what’s the appropriate price? If you can’t answer that then your criticism isn’t seriousNah, that's not the "because," at least for me.

well that was the suggestion I responded to. Not the other guy. I'll keep those comments off the board.
I would suggest MOST people (me included at the time) didn't really get past the 'Born in the USA" chorus.
maga lol.....if you are not for making America Great, then take your commie self to Canada and see how that works outs
you people are deranged
It's quite alright. I get the difference between the two. Hopefully he kicked in a bit of cash for the effort (he probably did) and if he didn't that's his business. I'd certainly like a legacy like that myself .

Not sure why he alienates half his fan base, but such is the climate now a days. They (both sides) kind of force you to pick, unfortunately. That being said, talented musician just not a big fan.
anyone see the Doors movie biopic w Val Kilmer years ago. That was excellent I thought.

Interesting. I know several people that have interacted with him and found him to be quite nice... though one buddy dealt with both him and Patty and said she was a raving b-tch the first two times, then settled down.
Its also quite possible that people feel he's not a nice guy at the gym because he's there to work out and not take selfies, Much the same way many pro athletes and movie starts would prefer to be left alone when they are eating dinner or with their families.
Back to the movie though, just saw it last week. I wasn't the biggest fan of the movie. Just really dark (yeah, I know, it was a dark time in his life), and a bit awkward. The people just weren't believable other than Faye, who ironically was not a real person in his life but was a conglomerate of several women in his life.
That's very interesting and explains why this woman was never really something heard about before. Knowing that now takes a bit out of my appreciation for it (the movie). If you can create a character like that then it just brings credibility into other things in it. I just mentioned this to my wife and she responded with the exact same comment lol. I think I'll stop reading this thread now.
It is a bit difficult to read isn't it? Really just wish it could stay on the original topic.. Or at least just away from politics.
When the movie first came out, I heard the buzz about the guy playing Bruce. Ehh... Just seemed forced. Had a discussion one night with a bunch of friends about the best portrayals, including appearance, and he didn't come up. Val Kilmer as Morrison, Ramie Malek as Freddy Mercury, Jamie Foxx as Ray Charles were the ones that stick out in my head as the best (at least in that discussion over several drinks)
Val Kilmer as Morrison, Ramie Malek as Freddy Mercury were both brilliant. did not see the Ray Charles flic
Elton’s movie was actually excellent so was his portrayal
Frankly, I would lose most respect I have for the Boss if he didn't speak up against the nasty crap from Trumpland that's infected our country.
Silence should not be an option to what that cult is trying to do to this county
Hardly..You seem:
$200 max.
and you seem like someone who says they “call balls and strikes” but who’s actions prove otherwise. And this is nothing new
You are a lousy scorekeeper, and stop projecting your triggered feelings to me. I don't play by either side's playbook. You are an angry, triggered person.
GFY, lefty libby.
I hate both sides equally, but for "your side" that's not good enough. Have to swallow the whole playbook hook, line and sinker, or you are not in the club. Good luck with your miserable life. You are on ignore now.
You actually are one of the few who calls out both sides
Very short people like LittleBoss get triggered all the time. It's part of their personality.
I'm sorry your education failed you.
and wtf are you mr tds...knightshift is fairly neutral here
