@HokieHoos @SouICorruption @consequence You seem like a nice person. Hope life is going well for you.

@SouICorruption @JeffforJ @consequence You're a stupid m'fer. He's always taken a stand for America and his fans, and if you don't like him, STFU and go away....ahole

Bruce Springsteen says "I don't worry about" blowback for taking a political stand. "My job is very simple: I do what I want to do, I say what I want to say and then people get to say what they want to say about it. Those are the rules of my game. That's fine with me. I don't worry about if you're going to lose this part of your audience. I've always had a feeling about the position we play culturally, and I’m still deeply committed to that idea of the band. The blowback is just part of it. I'm ready for all that." "...As time passes — I've been doing this 60 years — so you do develop a pretty thick skin, and it has served me well. I know who we are, I know the kind of band we are." (via @StarTribune) 📸: Rob DeMartin

@9ard0 @consequence Trump was elected via democracy. And Bruce will have a 0% impact on the situation.

@JeffforJ @consequence You are alienating yourself by picking MAGA over democracy . You are on the wrong side of history. Bruce is trying to stand up and change the course Trump has us on. Thank you Bruce. Power to the people.

@drodvik52 @consequence Of course he does. Doesn't mean he should.

@JeffforJ @consequence He has just as much a right to free speech as anyone else. He seems to be perfectly fine with losing popularity among the MAGA crowd. All of his true blue fans applaud his patriotism. We always have.

@burlivespipe @autumnsdad1 @springsteen 20% is delusional.

@JeffforJ @autumnsdad1 @springsteen Only in your mind is it half his supporters; at most 20% because a good portion of your “friends” are now saying they didn’t do it, and Elon created a number of the others out of thin air…

Would you ever stop listening to an artist or stop watching an actor or actress simply because of their political beliefs?

@DouglasTBranch1 @consequence You seem like a nice person. Hope you’re enjoying life !

@JeffforJ @consequence Free country, dip shit. And, it’s not No King’s crap-you freaking Neanderthal. We are under siege from a demented delusional president who strives for Authoritarianism. Guess that’s above your pay grade to comprehend.

@JBPritzker He was duly elected you fool.

People ask why I push back so hard on Donald Trump. It's simple: Tyranny requires your fear, your silence, and your compliance. Democracy requires your courage.

@DefyClapClap @autumnsdad1 @springsteen You seem like a nice person. Have fun

@JeffforJ @autumnsdad1 @springsteen He's trying to show you what an ignorant bigot you are. But you're too ignorant and bigoted to realize it.

@Deppwifebeater @autumnsdad1 @springsteen No. My point is we don’t have one. We have a duly elected president. The whole thing is ridiculous.

@JeffforJ @autumnsdad1 @springsteen You think we should have kings? That's why we had a war of independence!!!

@ReeffJ @autumnsdad1 @springsteen You seem like a nice person. Hope things are going well for you.

@JeffforJ @autumnsdad1 @springsteen Obviously you're too shallow and ignorant to have actually listened to the lyrics of his songs. He's the same person with the same beliefs he's always had from the beginning. He's staying true to himself. Fuck off

@thaisoul23 @autumnsdad1 @springsteen I bet I understand it as well or more than you. Jes never marketed a tour on politics vs rocking.

@JeffforJ @autumnsdad1 @springsteen You never understood his music then. Which doesn't surprise anyone. You jesus freaks are not too bright.

@Dillymint @autumnsdad1 @springsteen I get that. I’ve looked past it. He’s never included it as a prominent part of marketing for a tour. And given the ads and videos it will be a an expensive big political lecture not a rocking concert.

@JeffforJ @autumnsdad1 @springsteen You do get that he’s always been political, right? His lyrics are saturated in it. He’s publicly talked about political subjects since at least the 80s. He’s openly supported/opposed politicians for years. Not sure how you’ve been a lifelong fan and missed all this tbh.

@NeedDayJob @autumnsdad1 @springsteen You seem like a nice guy. Hope life is going well for you.

@JeffforJ @autumnsdad1 @springsteen He doesn't want to perform for dumbass racists. Stay home and make him happy, you fucking moron.

@neciedc @autumnsdad1 @springsteen I don’t want Kings nor do we have one. We have a duly elected President.

@JeffforJ @autumnsdad1 @springsteen You don't like his, "No Kings" position? 😳Are you British?

@RubyLaw143 @autumnsdad1 @springsteen They seem very defensive and not very fun !

@JeffforJ @autumnsdad1 @springsteen Wow. You really poked that nasty Leftist behave with this comment! Ha! Look at all these loving Leftists! Geee, why wouldn't you want to walk into a stadium full of all these loving people!?!?

@consequence I do not want to hear Bernie sing !!!

Bruce Springsteen will join Joan Baez, Jane Fonda, and Bernie Sanders at a No Kings rally in St. Paul, Minnesota, this weekend. His appearance comes ahead of the kick-off of his “Land of Hope and Dreams” tour. consequence.net/2026/03/bruce-…

@BuzzPatterson Was an APBA man myself……freaking loved it !

How many other boys grew up playing Strat-O-Matic baseball? 🙋‍♂️

@CynicalPublius Agreed. After decades, he choose to alienate half his fans with this No Kings BS. I’ve always put up with his politics, never miss a tour, but this one, perhaps his last, I have no interest in.

I grew up in Bruce Springsteen's hometown. His song "My Hometown" is LITERALLY about my hometown. Springsteen’s music was the anthem of my teenage years. The town is called Freehold, New Jersey. A. & M. Karagheusian, Inc. was a giant carpet mill in Freehold that was once the town’s single biggest employer. It shut down and moved away in 1964. That act of taking away a town’s jobs to move them to where labor was vastly cheaper DEVASTATED that community. Freehold became impoverished and almost a ghost town, taking decades to recover. All of the themes in Bruce’s early work about the indignities heaped upon the working man stem directly from the pain he, his family and his neighbors experienced when that carpet mill moved away to chase cheaper labor costs elsewhere. The theme of the betrayed working man streams across all of his early albums with a heartfelt sincerity that was borne of painful experience. The albums “Darkness on the Edge of Town,” “The River,” and “Nebraska” in particular resonate with the mournful howls of the betrayed laborer whose calloused hands meant nothing to the bosses who had thanklessly reaped the rewards of his pain and sweat. Early on, Bruce really and truly did speak for the working man. But somewhere in Hollywood he lost his way. Now, it’s 2026 and the singular domestic agenda of President Donald J. Trump is to bring back American manufacturing jobs from offshore and to restore the dignity, pride and wealth of the working everyman. And Bruce SPITS ON THAT to appeal to his Hollywood cronies. When you understand this background about Bruce, his behavior comes into sharp focus as perhaps the very most disgusting behavior of any pop star alive in America today. He has betrayed the everyman he once championed. SHAME ON YOU BRUCE SPRINGSTEEN. The young man who once wrote these lyrics would find you disgusting: "Early in the morning, factory whistle blows Man rises from bed and puts on his clothes Man takes his lunch, walks out in the morning light It's the working, the working, just the working life Through the mansions of fear, through the mansions of pain I see my daddy walking through them factory gates in the rain Factory takes his hearing, factory gives him life The working, the working, just the working life End of the day, factory whistle cries Men walk through these gates with death in their eyes And you just better believe, boy, somebody's gonna get hurt tonight It's the working, the working, just the working life 'Cause it's the working, the working, just the working life"

@treadmillhorse VT could be confused with Vermont :)

Can someone explain why casuals prefer VTech or Va Tech instead of just saying/writing VT?
