Add Bruce Springsteen to your list of PATRIOTS!

Yeah Baby!!!

Da man is back in a big way!!!

"In the past six years we've had to add to the American picture rendition, illegal wiretapping, voter suppression, no habeas corpus, the neglect of our great city of New Orleans and her people, an attack on the Constitution and the loss of our best young men and women in a tragic war," he said before performing the song on NBC's "Today" show.

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('', 'N')ew York - Bruce Springsteen's new album "Magic" marks his return to the pop sound that propelled him to mega-stardom in the 1980s, but the hook-laden melodies mask lyrics portraying an America of despair and hopelessness.

Springsteen says he is prepared for criticism from those who may take the lyrics on his latest album "Magic" as unpatriotic for speaking out against the Iraq war and President George W. Bush in war time.

"I believe every citizen has a stake in the course, direction of their country. That's why we vote. It's unpatriotic at any given moment to sit back and let things pass that are damaging to some place that you love so dearly and that has given me so much," Springsteen says in an interview on the CBS news show "60 Minutes" to air on Sunday night.

the boss is being sued for shafting a horse trainer (not any trainer, but Todd Minikus) on an 850k horse deal for his teenaged daughter.

Well - when it comes to a 1200 lb animal and a 100 pound girl...I would back out if something did not seem right.

from the article:

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('', 'T')he lawsuit says the couple, who live in Monmouth County and own Stone Hill Farm, put a $25,000 deposit on Pavarotti in July but later had second thoughts about whether the horse was right for their daughter Jessica.


I have been thrown and it is not fun.

What does a horse deal have to do with his record and his TV appearance ? Please help me to see , Sinister .
Perhaps the population would be less swayed to socialism if we had fewer examples of socialism from our "Free Market Capitalists". -----fiddler dave

I have a DVD bootleg concert video of Santana in Lisbon, Portugal 2006. It was produced from a live TV broadcast with a crowd of at least 30,000 fans present. Right before the last song on the set list Carlos says "heres one for George Bush"
.

.

Evil Ways...............

Then, after the last song, Carlos says "George Bush is a nightmare"

The crowd went wild! :razz:

Here's one clip of the live concert!

More likely Bruce is being added to a list of terrorists.
