Current Listening: REM – “Ignoreland” (Automatic For the People)
These bastards stole the power from the victims of the Us v. Them years / Wrecking all things virtuous and true / The undermining social democratic downhill slide into abysmal / Lost lamb off the precipice into the trickle down runoff pool
So Bruce Springsteen, once renowned for his extreme Patriotism (he recorded the pro-America anthem “Born in the USA”) is embarking on a tour with a string of Kerry Supporters and bleeding-hearts such as John Mellencamp, REM, and the Dixie Chicks. I never thought I’d see the day when the Boss would cross over and embrace such obviously anti-American politics.
I never understood why celebrities think they know anything about politics. The only people who should be involved in politics are the politicians. We don’t want every celebrity idiot (and there are lots of non-celebrities who do this too) giving us his two cents about peace, love, and all that unrealistic hippie bullshit.

whoa, Blogger comments are wonky. Guess I’ll post anonymous.
You gotta realize these people live in a world where they have a million followers and everything revolves around them. So naturally they’re going to think someone gives a shit about what they have to say. It’s our culture’s fault for idolizing a profession that only requires half a brain as a prerequisite.
