    Feel free to ship me a Benny & Binaural if you have them, because we all know what's coming on the next PJ tour *popcorn emoji*

    There is nothing any of you could say that would hurt MY feelings. I am an adult with MY own opinions. I like that the United States is supposedly a land where free speech is allowed/encouraged. I would never say I was embarrassed to be an American. That is down-right un-patriotic. Bruce can go piss up a rope....

    Hey man, I'll say it. I'm embarrassed by this president and I don't give a damn if that makes you question my patriotism. I know that I love my country deeply and that I'm fortunate to been born here. But part of being patriotic is calling out bullshit when you see it. Sorry that you're so in love with America that you don't see the flaws.

    I'm just going to go out on a limb and guess you weren't always behind President Obama 100%... but I'm sure you were still a patriot in your eyes.

    I moved to Europe for the last 2 years of Obamas term. I didn't agree with much of what he did, but I kept my thoughts to myself and definitely didn't bash others when stated they supported him. I suggest Trump dissenters try some civility as well....
    You moved to Europe because if Obama?

    And he'd give you an eloquent, well thought out answer about why he did it. I hope then you could shake his hand, say you're a fan, say you disagree but it's cool because we aren't fucking kindergarteners who disrespect others with another opinion.

    Wait....what?

    Not entirely, but I was not happy with the United States and the way it was going. It was just another reason.

    Oh for goodness' sake.
    It's real and a lot of things will come to light that are sickening.

    No :) I didn't miss the shitty news and poor educational system (common core) when we were gone.

    If or when it happens, Russia will be the culprit. They are already placing CP on our computers, ask senator Graham.

    I see you cozying up to Jeff there, wouldn't you know, I bet 99% he's embarrassed for America too.

    Yeah, but he's smart enough to keep his mouth closed....
    No, he's one of those political musicians that you love as long as they don't talk about politics that you disagree with. Then you want to sell the vinyls.

  • You start a thread about your belief that Bruce Springsteen is unpatriotic because he's embarrassed of the President's actions, then you yourself start nonsensical talk of an absolute proven conspiracy theory and BRUCE is the one who is unpatriotic and embarrassed?? Whatever man. I don't have The Rising on vinyl. I'll take that one.

    Wait a second! Bruce is liberal??? BRUCE SPRINGSTEEN!?!?! Christ. I thought I knew him. I guess I'll just go back over his 40 year catalog and see if there's any sign of this before him touring in Australia! Certainly not Nebraska, Born in the USA or Devil's and Dust. Definitely not the Magic record or Wrecking Ball. Man, I bet that prick would even write a song about innocent life being taken by a police officer.

    I can see why you're so angry. You had no idea this was coming. Who could have seen this coming.

    curious, where does youngstown fall on the liberal conservative spectrum? depending on the answer I might have to start not liking it
    Rust belt former steel town was solidly union blue dems. been fucked since the 80s or in decline before that, voted red this time around. bought his bullshit. those kinds of jobs with the union pay are history.

    its ironic, Obama made Ytown one of those tech innovation retraining centers a few years ago. guess it hadnt progressed enough.

    Pittsburg saw a huge migration out before flipping to tech and have turned some things around there.

    Instead of asking a question, why don't you begin with a declarative sentence? What do you think or believe JC? About Youngstown?

    Do you believe the smokestacks reach to the sky like the arms of god?

    ah just enjoy the music, many musicians as they grow older lose that passion and forget what made their music so attractive. he can now afford to lose a few that share your opinion. what happened to rebel rock anyway? have I grown older and out of touch also?
