Maybe Bruce Springsteen will be the next Vice President...

...or Secretary of State!

Bruce Springsteen Narrates Joe Biden's 'Hometown' Scranton Ad - Rolling Stone  
"Bruce Springsteen narrates and soundtracks a new campaign ad for Joe Biden that spotlights the Democratic candidate’s “hometown” of Scranton, Pennsylvania+.

“ 'Scranton, Pennsylvania. Here, success isn’t handed down. It’s forged in sweat, grit and determination,” Springsteen says over shots of life in the swing-state city. “This is his hometown. In Scranton, good times aren’t promised. But here, and in towns across America, times are harder than they ought to be. Lives are on pause, dreams on hold, futures in doubt.”

"The rocker adds of Biden, “He’s running to change that, to give working people the shot they deserve. An honest living for honest work, and a little piece** of mind at the end of the day. Because this place stays with him. These streets are a part of him. This is more than where he’s from; it’s who he’s for."...

+Which Biden left at the age of ten.

**That word should have been "peace", Bruce. TD

This next I had to go past seven pages of Yahoo to find. The ones before it were, well, all pretty much tributes and loving on Bruce and Biden. Paeons, if you will. TD

  
Bruce Springsteen sells out with pablum (nypost.com)  "The most nausea-inducing moment of Sunday night’s Super Bowl came not during the public spanking of the Chiefs by the Bucs. It was during a tone-deaf, two-minute TV commercial starring New Jersey’s own Bruce Springsteen, in which the mega-wealthy musician and leftist sage revealed that his longtime working-class grift is as phony as his cowboy hat.". . .

“Convincing someone that Springsteen is fraudulent … now requires much less work from both him and you,’’ Washington Post pop music critic Chris Richards wrote ahead of Super Sunday.

 Bruce, 71, has been spreading his man-of-the-people drivel and contempt for the right at least since the Reagan administration. Now, the little people are not amused....“Pretty easy for a guy who is worth 500 million to say what he did …,’’ reads one online comment.
