Bruce Springsteen to support Ron Paul?

[RPeurope]

I just wanna say I REALLY hope so!!! Springsteen has always been the one that represents everything good in America for me :)

I know Bruce supported a democrat last time, but do you think it's possible? It's not about party anymore, is it?


Someone just compared Ron Paul Revolution to what happened in Germany in 1989. Maybe Bruce played a role in it:

Maybe you Finns can start a campaign and attract attention, like what you guys did with Conan O'Brien and your prime minister. :)

You mean our president? Are you a fan of Conan? He was very popular in Finland and is even more popular after he made a joke that he looks like our president: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tarja_Halonen#Pop_culture_effect

Mellencamp, Nugent and Nelson are all real possibilities... given what I know of their personal politics.

Springsteen has always seemed like an arm of the Democratic Party to me... I mean he supported Kerry....

KERRY!

[Lord Xar]

I think a "charlie daniels" or some serious rock acts, ala - metalica too... would be great. I get sick of seeing these streisands and bonos coming out supporting socialists with no "american" belief system...

Dude, aren't you a Finn? Surely you have like a cluster of 5000 machine botnets you can direct to the task!

Bruce 3 years ago:

I stayed a step away from partisan politics because I felt it was always important to have an independent voice. I wanted my fans to feel like they could trust that. But you build up credibility. And you build it up for a reason, you know, over a long period of time. And hopefully, we've built up that credibility with our audience. And I think there comes a time when you feel, all right, I've built this up and it's time to spend some of this. And I think this is one of the most critical elections of my adult life, certainly. Very basic questions of American identity are at issue. Who we are. What do we stand for? When do we fight? As a nation, over the past four years, we've drifted away from, I think, very mainstream American values. I think that, in the question of tax cuts for the richest 1 percent. Hey, that's me, you know. You know, it's corporate big wigs, you know, well-to-do guitar players. But I also watch services get cut. After-school programs, for people that need it the most. Watch rollback environmental regulations. And a foreign policy that I think put at risk the lives of the very bravest young men and women, under what's ended up to be discredited circumstances. I feel the nation is in danger of devolving into an oligarchy. These are issues I've written about my whole life. Probably since my late 20s I started to think about them, you know. And I've had plenty of quarrels with the past Administrations. And if you go back to when I grew up during the Vietnam. And you say, hey, Democrats were in the White House. Gulf of Tonkin, we were misled into the Vietnam War. You know, it's not just a purely Democratic and Republican issue.


Is he a potential Ron Paul supporter?

[beermotor]

Of course.

The most important segment of voters in America toady - the NASCAR voters...

... is it possible to get these god-fearing beer-drinking gun-toting country music-listening NASCAR fans to see the light of the Ron Paul re>love<ution and join this party? We're gonna' need a big 'ol tent....

This tent is getting really huge - I say we get these NASCAR voters and all those Liberty-loving artists onboard. Let's get some contact info up here! Anyone?

the song on the CD called "Who Will Be The Last To Die For Our Mistakes?" comes from something Kerry said during the Viet Nam era.
here is my review of the new Springsteen CD. I don't expect any big political statements from Bruce this time around.
Except that he introduced his "Livin in the Future" song when he did it live a the rehearsal show in Asbury Park as a song about things that you never thought could happen like torture and wire tapping.

Holy mackerel! I couldn't believe the 'Friends' section! A lot of long-time favorites there...

I'm curious how many of them are Ron Paul supporters, and how many of them "Bands4RonPaul" added as friend, and they mindlessly accepted the request for friendship.

Springsteen might actually support Ron Paul, I was watching him play on the Today show and this is what he said. Sounds a lot like someone running for President.

Sounds like he favors the kind of stuff the federal government thinks it should supply.

Plus, I'm sure a number of them are not official band pages. The Eddie Van Halen page looks like a fansite.
