Springsteen calls for the appointed one impeachment.

[Norbert]

"It's time to impeach the president and get a man in there to get us out of this mess," Bruce Springsteen.:bounce:
:yourock:

Sorry about the Newsmax link. I just grabbed this off a right wing site I was lurking in. I plan on showering very soon. Sorry if this is a dupe.

1. indeed...

vote to impeach


http://www.votetoimpeach.org/

bye bye, Chimpy McFly... :silly:

[MinnFats]

2. "NewsMax" also sniffs that The Boss...

....may not have been serious since he suggested that Clarence "The Big Man" Clemons take over for Bush.

Hell, Clarence would make a much better president than Bush! A toaster oven would be better than Bush!

"NewsMax" refers to a "report' from a Freeper as the source of this story.....are they spying on rock concerts now for traces of disloyalty?
Freepers don't "get" Springsteen anyway. Remember when Reagan thought "Born in the USA" would make a good campaign song?

also, they refer to him as "aging rocker Bruce Springsteen." I'll be he can kick ass on any freeper age 18 to 60 without breaking a sweat. And then go out and knock 30,000 people out cold with "Cadillac Ranch."

GO BRRRUUUUUUCE!

15. "Aging rocker?"

Still looks mighty fine to me, baby!!

3. Not Going To Be Easy Dissing The Boss

Mr. Born in the USA, true patirot - loved by all.

Possibilites could include: Clear Channel will sponsor several Bruce Springsteen CD burning parties. but on the other hand....Boss is too popular to pull his songs out of rotation.

[soupkitchen]

4. Bruce is going to have to run for office one day

His voice is too important to America not to exercise it. Lautenberg's replacement?

[THUNDER HANDS]

17. yes, definately

Springsteen could announce his candidacy 15 minutes before the polls open and he's win with a million write-in ballots.

Ever try to get a ticket to one of his shows? They sell out faster than Dennis Miller at an NRA picnic.

[sventvkg]

5. The Boss is KING!!!!!!! I l voted to impeach....

YEA!! I'm from Jersey also..Love the Boss!

[DemExpat]

6. I thought I had seen on DU that Bruce was Repub....

I guess not!

DemEx

[ET Awful]

10. Well . . .

I've heard reports that when he played Fenway here in Boston, he recommended Frankens book to the audience at the end of the show :).

[latebloomer]

11. Yep, he's been recommending Franken's book

at all his concerts! Also speaking out against the war in Iraq.

Best line--"People of all political persuasions are welcome at my concerts. Except maybe Dick Cheney!"

[mac56]

14. Whoever wrote that was woefully misinformed.

Bruce is a lifelong Democrat.

[rucky]

7. Clarence & The Boss in 2004!

Could that be what "Born to Run" was really about?

[noonwitch]

8. The freepers were in a snit about this yesterday

All ready to boycott. I guess they had all that success with the Dixie Chicks boycott-what with them selling out their concerts and making millions off their cds, I guess that boycott taught them a lesson.
I guess Bruce should be glad to be a male, so they won't start calling him fat like they do Natalie Mains(they even manipulate photos of her in order to make her look fat, like they do to Hillary). You always can tell when a freeper doesn't like a woman, the first thing they do is attack her appearance.

[MissMillie]

18. That's funny....

... I remember lurking over there a shortly after "The Rising" came out and they were all talking about how "liberals don't like Springsteen".

Can they make up their minds?

(Maybe they could if they had minds to make up.)

[underpants]

24. NewsMax's source was the DC Freep "co-leader"

Yikes their media machine actually takes them seriously enough to use what she heard or thinks she heard as a source for news.


according to FreeRepublic.com's Kristinn Taylor, co-leader of the group's D.C. chapter

Another concertgoer told an online Springsteen discussion group that Bruce "got a little political, which I thought was great, but he definitely seemed to lose a bit of the crowd around me when he suggested we impeach Bush."

[MaineDem]

9. Was it Poppy who used "Born in the USA"?

Or Reagan...thinking it was something supporting their agenda?

:eyes:

You go, Bruuuuuuuuce!!!

[latebloomer]

12. 'Twas Reagan

Obviously he never listened to the bitter lyrics.

[Plaid Adder]

26. Clarence/Bruce or Bruce/Clarence?

Beats Clark/Dean any day, IMHO.

Incidentally, re the "aging rocker" comment: I saw him not two months ago in concert in Chicago and I would kill to be as fit at 34 as he is at 54. Jesus H. Christ. It's like he's 10 people and they've all had adrenaline shots.

C ya,

The Plaid Adder

13. It was Reagan.

Bruce called him to task for it: "I don't think he's ever listened to the words to my song."

[underpants]

21. I thought Bruce took the song back

He wouldn't let Reagan use it. That's the way I remember it.

"Soul Man" was changed by BobDole into "Dole Man" but the artists (?) made him stop using that too.

[Kat45]

27. Yup, he wouldn't let Reagan use it.

And I believe he was incredulous when he found out that Reagan wanted to use it.

[zekeson]

23. It still gets used for patriotic events

My kid's school did a dance thing awhile back and the girls danced to Born in the USA in RWB costume. To add insult to injury three of the 8 girls were international adoptions, all Asiatic. My wife had to restrain me from going to have a chat with the director.

[marzipanni]

28. Poppy TRIED to use "Don't Worry Be Happy"

I googled: 'don't worry be happy george herbert walker bush', and got the link to this message in Vintage Guitar Magazine's bulletin board:

"That reminds me of a remark George Herbert Walker Bush made during one of his campaign speeches back in '88. He said something about a spirit of pride or patriotism exemplified by the Boss's "Born in the USA." Then Bobby McFerrin got po'ed that Bush was playing "Don't Worry, Be Happy" at his campaign rallies."
Bobby McFerrin told GHWB not to use his song- HA!

[Braden]

16. ha! Aging Rocker

that Aging rocker is playing to 30,000+ potentially registered voters per night.

[underpants]

22. Yeah I noticed that too

right up front.

[latebloomer]

19. Clarence for President!

We need a Prez who can REALLY play the saxophone!!

[scarlet_owl]

20. Right freakin' ON! Clarence in 2004!

n/t

[LuLu550]

25. Springsteen, Dixie Chicks etc.

Should all have a concert tour.. fairly cheap tickets for young rockers to nudge them all to the left (if they aren't already there) and get them registered to vote in the next election to throw the bastids out!
:kick:
