A working class hero is something to be…
Sang John Lennon from the back seat of his Rolls Royce.
Bruce Springsteen has made a career out of pretending to be a blue collar bloke,
The disingenuous little twat.
Always on to posture on a lefty topic Bruce railed against ‘ the Man ‘ ” the System” the Establishment ‘.
And his gullible fans of his tuneless, saxophone cacophony music believe that tripe.
” Oh he gives a lot to charities…”
Oh he supports the workers…”
He’s a billionaire.
So expect the boring old cunt will donate a large portion of his vast wealth to his beloved charities?
Proving he’s not a champagne socialist?
Yeah right.
He’d kick a tramp to death for 50p
The grabbing old spunker.

Sold his record catalogue for 500 million, he must of had a pile of vinyl and cds.
Still that music magpie will buy anything..

Great nom.
Never rated him. Hyped as “the new Bob Dylan” in 1973. Utter bullshit.
Why anyone would take the slightest notice of anything he says is beyond me.
Born to be a Cunt.
And a draft dodger to boot.

I’d argue that being a draft dodger is an eminently sensible position to entertain.
Going to a commie hellhole to get murdered by a gook, all because of some politician lies.
29
Amen to that Thomas.
I remember being taught at school that conscientious objectors or draft dodgers were inherently bad, and unpatriotic people.
Looking at the current state of this fucking hell hole that we reside in, I’d say they were pretty astute people.
10
I would ordinarily agree with you 100%.
But not in the case of Springsteen. The world would have been a much better place if he had gone to Vietnam and been snuffed out by the gooks.
21
Yep – a stone-cold draft dodger. – his own words!
Draft Number 119 – and he seems proud of it.

I remembert the late Tony Wilson (RIP) loved Springsteen.
Tony praised and promoted the ‘Born To Run’ album on Granada’s So It Goes. I always found it odd, how it clashed with Tony’s championing of punk. On the very same episode when the Pistols made their first TV appearance, Tony was lavishing praise on Springsteen and ‘Born To Run’.
Born To Run – the song- – was cliched bar room cars and chicks American AOR at its worst. A million miles away from Joy Divsion, A Ceratin Ratio and The Durutti Column.
12
Born in the USA.

I applaud him for his success as an artist and businessman. I never fault someone for being extremely successful in what they do unless it’s a destructive or immoral occupation.
The reason I can’t stand this cunt is because of how liberal and leftist he is.
For anyone who is ignorant and thinks that “Born in the USA” is a patriotic America-loving song needs to listen to the fucking words.
Glory Days is a good song.
Like most artists I really wish he would just sing and focus on music and shut his cake hole about everything else.
8
Top story by Deirdre Durkan-Simonds there.
Just a word of advice, Dreary. If you must cut and paste something American, at least change the spellings to proper English. Catalog indeed.
Anyway, never heard of this Sprigstein bloke, so can’t comment further.

‘I’m on fire.’ I wish you were Bruce, I wish you fucking were🔥
15
If he was on fire I’d put it out with a baseball bat.

Strange how someone who’s meant to be a champion for the working man enjoys being called ‘The Boss’.
11
That’s a great point, FMC. In all the years I’ve been aware of this hoarse sounding, foot stomping, headband wearing cunt, I’ve never thought of that.

There’s only one boss. Boss hogg..

Catherine Bach. Oh dear me, yes.
And I watched an episode of Dempsey and Makepeace the other day. With Glynis Barber and Jill St John. My depraved imagination went into overdirve.
11
I used to watch The Dukes of Hazzard around tea time on BBC 1 on Saturdays. Watched it for one reason and one reason alone. To catch a glimpse of Catherine Bach in her painted on jean shorts. If she happened to be bending over at the time, all the better.
In other perv news….whilst a college, a mate of mine ‘acquired’ (I didn’t ask how) a substantial collection of jazz mags, one featuring some tart who was the spitting image of Glynis Barber. Her spread (ooo errr) was her doing all kinds of Makepeace poses to cash in on the hit TV series at the time. Thems were the days.
12
Unless you are in his band, Field Marshall, sir, then he`s your boss.

Not a fan. His style of music and his vocals really grate on me. I find them neither musical nor interesting.
Funnily enough, the only 2 songs by him that I like are “I’m On Fire” and “Streets of Philadelphia”. Both of which are the polar opposite of his usual style and vocal delivery.
Seeing him with his tongue up Obama’s arse (not literally of course) as he cavorted around on stage bigging up the second worst President ever, was nauseating to say the least.
I’ll never understand why massively wealthy people, particularly from the entertainment business, are socialist/left leaning when the mantra of that ideology is wealth redistribution at the expense of the very same wealthy. Unless their wealth is off-shore, protected and untouchable by the capitalist hating pigs. The same capitalism which provided the opportunity for them to make their millions in the first place.
14
It’s straightforward hypocrisy, the enduring trademark of the left.

Bruce was Ridin with Biden last time, is he cooking crack with Kamala this time?
Silly old cunt.

Bruce is a cunt.
His music is shite and his politics are just as bad.
He was also one of these arseholes who insisted on his audiences all being vaccinated against Covid before they were allowed to endure his shoes.
What a twat.

* shows not shoes .
Fucking phone

Lest we not forget, verrucas are the silent killers of the footwear world. 🙂

Dont mind him and he used to give his all in concert.
If you want cunts line up the talent free rappers and autotuned warblers.

His album ‘Born in the USA’ depicts a man’s botty with a red handkerchief hanging out of the back jeans pocket.
Upon consulting ‘Handkerchief codes’ on Wikipedia, it reveals that Bruce is into gay fisting:

Like you had to research that Thomas…..
15
LOL. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
11
I remember when there was ‘Bossmania’ in 1985.
The extremely overrated ‘Born In The USA’ album was everywhere, and it was hilarious to see loads of knobheads jump on the Springsteen bandwagon.
One such cunt lived near me back then. He was a total knob to begin with. But then he thought he was the top bollocks because he was ‘into’ Springsteen. Only thing was, he wasn’t. He had the ‘Born In The USA’ T-Shirt, badges, the cunt even wore a Springsteen headband. All we heard was ‘Bruce this. Bruce that’. So one day I asked this cunt trumpet ‘What’s your other favourite album of his? Do you like The River?’ The knobhead looked blank and didn’t reply. ‘Whar about Darkness On The Edge Of Town?’ He didn’t even know that was a Springsteen album. It was a pure Tommy Saxondale with his stupid neighbour moment.
But this tosser was well known for his wagon jumping. He did the same thing when R.E.M put ‘Out Of Time’ in 1991. He thought it was their first album. What a fucking clown.
14
Bruce reminds me of one those bulldogs from the Sylvester and Tweety Pie cartoons. Ugly mug, big stuck out chest and tiny little legs.
6
What you mean liike Katie Price? 🥸

This nom made me wonder if I knew the name of a single Springsteen track, let alone listened to one, despite the massive hype the man attracted long ago. I had heard of “Born in the USA”. I checked it out: to my knowledge I had never heard it, and it held my attention for ten seconds before apathy kicked in.
Could this be another overhyped talentless American cunt like The Eagles? I confess I do not care.
Did he get obscenely rich while pretending to be a working class hero? He’s very far from the only cunt to do that. Give me Ozzy Osbourne any day…
4
He cheated the reaper.
By rights he should of lay dead in the steamy jungle of south east Asia.
Id of respected that.
Instead he betrayed his country and devised the most painful, meandering form of music to punish the world he hates.
A deal with the devil?
I think so.
Although I bet satan took a shower after shaking hands with Bruce.
The fuckin greedy old fuck.
7
Over played, over exposed and over here. Cant stand him or his shouty ness. Overrated just like david bowie, the doors, jimi hendrix and many many more.

He’s American. His music is shite so you would expect the Yankees to to love it.
Yanks love shite. As an example I give you McDonald’s
I rest my case

And on the subject of shite musicians, I’ve just been to Dublin and learnt a few things I didn’t know about Bono.
What’s the difference between God and Bono?
1. God doesn’t think he’s Bono
2. God appreciates good music
3. God doesn’t wear a hat
I’ll get my coat…

God is a dj after all.

Apparently, Bonio and his wife are insufferable, Chas.
They large it around the rich part of Dublin known as Paddywood.
And almost all fo Bonio’s kids are nepobabies, and all have ‘jobs’ as ‘actors’ and ‘musicians’.
In hs recent book, old dog biscuit reckons that Noel Gallagher is he greatest British living songwriter after McCartney. Well, that Macca is No.1 is questionable enough But Gallagher?!
Also, U2’s last single is a direct rip off of Blondie’s Call Me. Only thing is, Bonio dosen’t look as good as Debbie Harry used to.
3
I got into U2 on the back of New Year’s Day – which to this day – is a heart wrenching powerful and expertly crafted song. I bought the War album on the back of that. Bought The Unforgettable Fire when it came out. A bit pretentious. Then The Joshua Tree. Very pretentious. Then Rattle and Hum. Which is outlandishly pretentious. For me, Achtung Baby, Zooropa and Pop tried different approaches but really traded on U2’s past glories. By this time I’d bought Boy and October and could clearly see how they got to War which I think is their best album. A honest rock band playing a collection of great rock songs, lots of variety and texture without the over-production of later albums.
By the time All That You Can’t Leave Behind dropped, they’d lost it. It lacks direction and their trademark sound which made them famous. It’s been down hill ever since. They peaked in the 80s. A band well past its due date with a lead singer who, quite frankly, is an embarrassment to his band mates, his band’s legacy and the music industry in general. Bonio is the living embodiment of the craving for attention while having too much ego and fame. Total clown.
Any present day rabid U2 fan who still thinks they’re killing it is delusional.

He’s a virtue signalling champagne commie lockdown immo loving cunt.
The usual “celebrity” then.
Fuck him and his mountain of money,which he will keep a very tight grip of,naturally.

OT. For some reason, the BBC have this as No.1 news headline today.
Tom Daley retires from diving.
So, I expect we’ll see the little trollop on the iikes of Strictly, I’m a Celebrity, and the obligatory BBC propaganda ‘documentary’ abiout him and his ‘husband’.

All of “show business”is manufactured in some ghastly dream factory – dirty weekends in crummy hotels with cheap floozies, cheques that bounce all over the place. dirty minded producers pawing young girls on the casting couch, drink sodden old poofs who “managed” young boys and gave them “powerful” names like Billy Fury, Marty Wilde, Tommy Steele, tacky publicity stunts – and that’s only the glamorous side

Driving my old pick up truck…
Chopping wood in the yard…
Working on my old Harley in the yard….

That’s the sort of thing he sings about.
All bollocks.
In truth he should be singing about
Had dinner with the Obama’s…
Sacked my illegal immigrant gardner…
Bought some cowboy boots in Beverley hills….
The advocado salad is lovely at the Bel Air Hilton…
Hope the fraudulent cunt chokes on it.

He seems to be living some kind of vicarious fantasy life of his parents who were real blue collar workers.

I hate this cunt.
The mythology here in the states is that in the mid to late 70’s he singlehandedly saved Rock & Roll from the twin evils of Disco and New Wave.
What he did was save himself from bankruptcy and obscurity with his wailing and groaning.
Nothing but noise dumbed down to the lowest common denominator.
“…cunts like us, baby we were born to suck. Whoaaaaaaaa ught ught ohhh oh…”

I heard disco is making a comeback.
At first I was afraid, I was petrified.
I’ll get me coat.

Quite right Cuntster.
Sometimes I daydream I’m a lighting technician on a Bruce Springsteen tour.
I’m sat in the rafters operating the lighting rigs and spotlights.
Slowly loosening the bolts with a spanner.
And just as Bruce gets ready for a moody ballad, expecting to be gently spot lit,
400pounds of red hot metal.falls 40ft straight onto his cranium.
I often wake up laughing loudly

Couldn’t agree more, General.
Cliched AOR crap ‘Just wrap your legs ’round these velvet rims
And strap your hands across my engines’
‘In the day we sweat it out on the streets of a runaway American dream.’
Absolute guff. When ome thinks of really great American artists: The Byrds. The Band, Creedence, Harry Chapin, Phil Ochs, Jim Croce, Glen Campbell. Springsteen isn’t in that category.

Lynyrd skynyrd, Allman brothers,
Captain Beefheart & the Magic band, Johnny Cash, Hank Williams,

Mike Nesmith was better than Springsteen.
Mike wrote some wonderful stuff. Different Drum, Carlisle Wheeling, Auntie’s Municpal Court, Don’t Call On Me, and the magnificent Nine Times Blue.

I’d sooner be outdoors working for myself than in an office with Bruce Springsteen on the radio.

Completely off topic but just been reading about a actor William Smith.
Now we all think actors are bumboys but not all.
You’d recognise William from the cinematic masterpiece that is Any Which way you can,
He’s the opponent of Clint Eastwood.
He was a world arm wrestling champion, a speaker of five languages, trained in interrogation techniques for the US air force.
And held some body building records.
On the film Darker than Amber at the end is a fight scene between him and Rod Taylor that turns real.
The cameras kept rolling.
Rod breaks 3 of Williams ribs.
William breaks Rods nose.
Now you dont get that with Tom Cruise.

Cruise couldn’t fight his way out of a wet paper bag.

I have never met a single person who is, or was, a fan of this cunt.
His music is generic, bland and boring.
He uses a plethora of unnecessary instruments that drown each other out to the point that it all sounds like an annoying cluttered mess.
His voice sounds like he swallowed a lava lamp.
And he overuses the sax in places where it doesn’t belong.
He’s so fucking predictable.
Like watching a Hulk Hogan match in the late 1980s – not very interesting and you know how it’s going to end.
Plus he’s a lefty.
Mind you, they all were back in the day.
Except Neil Young who was a Reagan supporter.
Goes without saying, Bruce and O’Bummer are bum chums.
Here they are sucking on each other’s haemorrhoids:

I’ve come to the conclusion that he was a failed Hells Angels pledge.

“failed Hells Angels pledge” – LOL.
I’m nicking that for the next time I get into an argument about how shite Springsteen is.
2
They reckon after the ‘Bossmania’ of 84/85, Bruce sort of shat on his E.Street Band and fired most of them off. His next albums, Tunnel of Love and Human Touch weren’t as commercially successful as ‘Born In The USA’.
His reputaiton as a top live act was because of having stellar talents like Clarence Clemons, Max Weinberg, Little Steven, Nils Lofgren and so on. The E.Street band were a top live and recording unit and Springsteen without them is nothing to write home about. He briefly thought he could do it without them, but he couldn’t.
5
Actually I think that’s a fair assessment.
By the way Norm, I got a 3 CD set by Françoise Hardy after your recommendation following her recent sad passing. Yeah, very very good indeed. Enjoyed that a lot. Cheers – IY.

Francoise had a lovely voice. And, for all her looks and talent, she was never up herself. She was a class act, IY.
