"The Black Crowes' frontman Chris Robinson and rock icon Bruce Springsteen recently faced backlash over their political comments, which PR experts say reflect a growing frustration among Americans who feel musicians have become more interested in lecturing fans than entertaining them.
"Robinson sparked controversy when he allegedly criticized fans chanting "USA" at a Florida concert and questioned what Americans had to be "so proud of right now," prompting some audience members to boo and walk out of the show, according to TMZ.
"Meanwhile, some fans recently labeled Springsteen a "traitor" after he criticized the current state of America during a concert in April. Springsteen told the crowd that America had become seen by "many" as a "reckless, unpredictable, predatory rogue nation" under President Donald Trump's administration." . . .
"Since kicking off his Land of Hope and Dreams Tour, the singer has repeatedly unleashed blistering attacks on Trump during his shows, blasting the administration as "corrupt, incompetent, racist, reckless and treasonous."
"Doug Eldridge, founder of Achilles PR, told Fox News Digital that the response to Robinson and Springsteen's remarks signals a broader sentiment among Americans." . . .
