Mick Jagger takes a swipe at Bruce Springsteen over anti-Trump rants at gigs

Bruce: The Rosie O'Donnell of rock. Included below is my favorite Springsteen post and will be used as long as Bruce and I live. TD

"The comments come after Springsteen turned many of his concerts this year into platforms for outspoken criticism of Trump."

"Mick Jagger took aim at Bruce Springsteen's increasingly political concerts warning that fans don't want to be lectured from the stage.

The Rolling Stones front man made the comments during an interview on The New York Times' podcast with David Marchese, where Jagger laid out his philosophy for entertaining stadium crowds. 

He appeared to distance himself after Marchese brought up avowed Donald Trump critic Springsteen who has repeatedly used his concerts this year to launch blistering attacks on the president and his administration.

Asked how he views his relationship with audiences compared with artists such as Bob Dylan and Springsteen, Jagger said his priority has always been making sure concertgoers leave feeling uplifted rather than weighed down by politics.

'The bottom line of my thing really is that my job in the live music world is those people that come is to have the best time they possibly can,' Jagger said.

'For two hours or whatever it is, to forget all their problems and the problems of the world and their mortgages and whatever, just to give them the best time they can have.'

The 82-year-old rock icon compared attending a concert to watching a major sporting event, arguing that audiences should be able to switch off from the anxieties of daily life while the show is happening.

'You don't want to lecture them,' he said. " . . . More...

Ted Nugent has labelled Bruce Springsteen a "dirtbag"   . . . "Nugent continued: “So, I give them that salute for having that quality of virtuosos that deliver his music and instead of going after Bruce for being a dirtbag and supporting communists like Biden and Obama. People that ruined the quality of life, especially for minorities. How he can’t see that, I don’t know." . . .

Bruce Springsteen is hoping he can find common ground with former fans who have walked away from him because of his outspoken left-leaning beliefs.  

Bruce Springsteen Sucks, And Here Are 10 Reasons Why

Strange to post this because for years Bruce was a staple on my car and home satellite radios, but no longer. I loved so much of his music, even if I had to ignore his words at times. But to me now, that voice is the voice of bitter hate that sends thrills up the legs of lesser beings as Colbert, Kimmel, and people who listen to MSNOW and wear those Hamas scarves.

Nick Shirley's Latest Fraud Video Is Another Gold Mine

“Your tax dollars are paying for elderly Koreans and Chinese to play ping pong and do tai chi, while the fraudsters give kickbacks to those who enroll,” Shirley wrote. 

 "Nick Shirley is back, this time exposing large-scale Medicare fraud involving senior centers for elderly Koreans and Chinese. It’s another video that’s nearly an hour long, which he posted in full here: . . .  

"Fraud is running rampant in NYC.

Palace Daycare collected $9.4 million last year by allegedly handling 8,000 different patients. But when Nick Shirley and Dr. Oz show up on camera to ask the staff for their actual daily numbers, the math immediately falls apart, and the manager fakes a phone call to hide it. The staff claims they see about 100 patients a day across two shifts. But the receptionist admits 8,000 patients a year is impossible. But the most revealing evidence is the staff itself--every single person in the front office was hired exactly one month ago. The entire previous workforce left at once. The current employees do not know who manages the business. They have never met the owners. They cannot name their actual employer. This is known as a structural reset. In organized fraud, clearing out legacy staff creates a human shield of ignorance. If new workers lack operational history, they can sit under questioning and truthfully say they know nothing. This is not a business with high employee turnover. Rather, it's a financial crime scene.
