So next time he is singing "Jersey Girl" in the Meadowlands Arena, instead of a full house full of tears, the seats will be empty.

No, I think Bruce's fans are mature and wise enough to realize that they enjoy his songs, but don't necessarily have to follow his politics. Seems like its the 25 and under crowd who traditionally are more swayed by the passing fancy, or vote in accordance to the latest pop star.
There's no evidence that any age group is "swayed" by pop stars except entertainers like Rush, Hannity etc.

Another word is disinfotainers

"'Disinfotainer' -- any member of the media that entertains the viewer, listener, or reader with rumors, half-truths, misinformation, and/or personal attacks. The opposite of disinfotainer is infotainer.

"'Infotainer' -- any member of the media that places entertaining the viewer, listener, or reader over relaying information. The opposite of infotainer is disinfotainer."

hey, he has as much right to put his two cents as I do or you do. He is an American, too. If anyone asks, I endorse Barack Obama, too! But, I will vote for Hillary Clinton if she is the nominee!

Bruce should be allowed to endorse whoever he wants without people being rude about it...Just as I talk to people about who I support. Bruce has worked hard as heck to get where he is and anyone who says otherwise is plain wrong.

I really don't care much about these "rock-stars" and "actors/actresses" who endorse these candidates. It doesn't mean to much to me but what is disturbing is how supporters attack these stars just because they are not supporting who THEY are supporting. TOO BAD!!!!! Just live with it. To go on the personal attack on Bruce Springsteen just because he doesn't have the same views, is ignorant and childish.
PS LOL There will NEVER be empty seats when Bruce plays in NJ. People in NJ are not ignorant to not attend his concert based upon his political preference.
