I saw him at Gilette Stadium and I am going to Hartford end of this month. Thankfully he stayed off politics and focused all on music it was a fantastic show. If I agree or disagree with Bruce or anyone else I pay my money to see listen to music and have a good time I can make up my mind without the help of Bruce Springsteen or any other celebrity. I want to hear the music not their opinions of which mean no more than yours or my own. It was nice to see him stay clear of the subject. I do chuckle when I listen to the Wrecking Ball cd and he sings about the poor and broken down people and after each show he speeds off in a limo to his private jet or fancy five star hotel I really don;t care just don;t pretend to be something that you really can't identify with anymore.

"It's a sad, funny ending when you find yourself pretending,
a rich man in a poor man's shirt."
Thanks for the "Better Days" reference - may be my favorite!!!

He lost me as well. One night he announced from stage "There's no reason to be sad", well I had plenty of reason.Quote

Even Bruce sees the irony of his position.

But there is a 2 week gap in the first half of June, so I hope some dates will still be added and that I would be able to see at least one show this year.

R - Are you serious about that 2% tax on hos equestrian farm? If that is true he is a bigger hypocrite than I thought he was. I love his music and he is a great performer but I've always thought he was a hypocrite. A man of the people my ass!!! BTW I think most of these rockers including our Stones are hypocrites.

Slew- I'm hoping that E-Street Band will not overlook S. Florida if a N.American is planned for conclusion to their extended tour. It's not political, I just want Miami included with current tour.
I agree with your assessment of hypocrism. Even the Boss says it clearly in the song "Badlands" I quote: "Poor men wanna be rich, rich men wanna be kings,
And a king aint satisfied till he rules everything."
Grat post Slew. Yep even rich folks oppose taxes but it is different going to sleep at night when there are no bills to pay.
It's a crazy form of preaching by Rock Stars that just doesn't ring true.
