As you all know, cant possib;y not know, Im a huge Springsteen fan. Still am. He made a career out of examining America, did it extremely well, and was respected, cause he used to let the music stand for itself, and also his songs were written in a way, where if you didnt want to hear political leanings you didnt have to, there was room to have alternative views of his songs.

To me, his songs represented trancendence, heart, soul, power, and defiance, friendhip and ability to overcome odds, hope, behind one of the greatest rock bands in history.

He wrote many different styles, and could do folk music as he could stadium rock, great writer, one of greatest live performers you will ever see .4 hour shows, you got two shows for one basicly.

ANd top of it all, besides a macho and rough exterior, was a very good man, you can hear it in his music and from people who have met him. I have yet to see anybody online or otherwise say they have met him and he was dick to them.

Im sure some caught him on a bad day, but mostly positive vibes. You can find hundrds of pictures of him doing selfies with fans, he has fans across every walk of life, Doctors lawyers, garbage men, Pizza makers,

so, his last decade or or so have been hard for me. I HATE what has happened. I hate seeing people bashing him for his views, and people not even willing to just listen to the music without bringing his views into it.

From his Pov, hes doing his duty and what he believes is right.

This song. is kinda weak. The chorus is good in a Dylanesque kinda way, and if you agreed with his thoughts, youd say pretty cool.

But This Pretti, he wasnt some innocent guy holding a protest sign, he was fighting them, they were having trouble getting hold of him he was wrestlin, and previois videos show him kicking their headlights and spitting at them. I mean Jesus, they work for Trump, they aint Trump.

So this song makes me sad, mostly cause of the backlash hes gonna face, and for such onsidedness
Love Bruce but songs like this are forever.
