I see him almost every morning at the gym. I'm sure he has some nice cars but all I've ever seen is a ratty looking range rover.

Was never a Springsteen fan, even 40 years ago. Just not into his sound. That said, I recognize his considerable talent, and he has great taste in cars. I don't base my admiration of a celebrity's talent on their political leanings, most who are liberals are that way because they can afford to be. Most working class folks don't have that luxury. That said, I'd much rather have a beer with Ted Nugent.

I should look up the exact details instead of posting "I heard...." But - I heard there was some man who was convicted of murdering a cop, and Bruce held a benefit to raise money to try to get him released. If that is grossly inaccurate I would owe an apology, but he still has political views diametrically opposite of mine.
I DO like his song "Tougher Than The Rest" so I'm not being blindly negative.

Was a big fan of his. Use to go see him every time he played in Philadelphia. When he supported Obama I lost all respect for him.
