Springsteen made his money on lyrics singing about the blight of closed factories and the death of industry. Now we FINALLY have Trump to rectify this blight and dufus Springsteen is against Trump . What a dirtbag he is. His music is a lie.

Anybody that goes to a Roger Waters show knows he is going to get political and that he is a liberal.

And they all cheezed me off. I paid I PAID PAID PAID to hear you sing. Not mouth off your stupid ass irrelevant opinions and ruin a nice time.

Anyone who knows basic etiquette knows that you don't bring up politics at a party.

I've been going to concerts for a long time. But now forget it.

Meh. Anyone who is such a fan of an artist should know what the artist is all about. I'd expect political stuff at a Pink Floyd concert. Same goes for Rage Against the Machine, Public Enemy, Green Day, CCR and Megadeath.

I mean I wonder if the people getting cheezed off by the likes of PF would also be just as cheezed off by the likes of Toby Keith, Ted Nugent and Madison Rising?

Yes, I would be annoyed.

Assuming I would pay for a Keith, Nugent or MR concert, which I would not.

Big difference.
What themes and meanings does he change?

PF has always been anti-war, anti-capitalism, anti-corruption, alienation from the whole, etc.

Anti-capitalism with $300 tickets and VIP sections?

LOL! Yea right!

Wait a minute here. In one sentence you say, "singing about the blight of closed factories and the death of industry" and go on to say, "Now we FINALLY have Trump to rectify this blight" and then go on to call Springsteen a liar and a dirtbag. So if Springsteen lied about blight, what exactly is Trump rectifying?

Also, I'd never call Springsteen's music patriotic yet many music critics erroneously did when Born in the U.S.A. came out. It never ceases to amaze me how people latch on to the imagery of a record cover rather than the substance of lyrics.

Well, then perhaps one should pay more attention to the musicians they are paying money to go see. Me? I only pay to see concerts of those musicians that I really enjoy and appreciate. I already know what they are about before I set foot in the concert venue.
