OT: Bruce Springsteen in Nebraska?

I wish people actually took the time to deepen their knowledge about things they profess to know so much about. I don't mind you having an opinion, but good grief you are misinformed. If you look at the numbers, really look at them, Trump did extraordinarily little for blue collar workers. He blathered on about how much he was doing, and people who were predisposed to his particular brand of politicking declared him a hero, but the numbers do not match the rhetoric. Trump was a president for rich people, most presidents are. If a president actually pushed through policies that benefited the working class the right wingers on this board would be howling about communism all day long. Don't get me started on hypocrisy.
Heck, would even rather see Gordon Lightfoot over Springsteen.

Trust me, no you would not. Saw Lightfoot a couple of years ago. He was nearly a corpse onstage. Seriously, he was TERRIBLE.

I don't know about that. There is just a ton of stuff out there that even the most avid music enthusiast will never hear on the radio or find on Spotify, or where ever you get your music. And as for attending a concert, I would much rather go to a smaller venue with 100-200 people to listen to a local or regional artist rock the house than a massive concert with 50,000 people to see a big name like Springsteen.
Give me a Richard Thompson show over a Springsteen show in person. The cost and the crowd are not my bag, though I appreciate Springsteen's artistry, energy and passion.
Yes, this.Prince says "Hello!" (or would if he were still alive).
Never got the fascination with Springsteen, or Dylan (and others of that genre), but that's just me.
I hate how everyone adopted that crap 80's sound just to sell records
That's your opinion. I loved the 80's. Thought the 70s was dinosaur rock. Miss the 80's/90's rock for sure.
Oh I like some of it too. I just can’t stand the ones that changed their whole sound to meet the trend and sell records. Dancing in the Dark, We built this city, jump. All crap.
I like Bruce the entertainer but not the political activist. Others I downright despise because of their contempt for my ilk. Dinero, Carrey, Colbert, Messing, and everyone on the View are just awful, awful people. While I don't respect anything they say, I do respect their right to say it.
Well on a message board you usually need to indicate you're making a joke or being sarcastic so people understand that - usually with an emoji. People can't tell your intent in just straight sentences so they most often assume you're being serious.
I liked a couple tunes on madonna's first album, then she went off the deep end..
called for blowing up the white house to a huge crowd in washington and ccn, msnbc, and the networks covered it for 2.3 seconds
them bands had serious talent compared to 95% of the "hair bands"of the 80.
the 70's were the best music times I know of, even elton john and stevie wonder sounded great back then
It's cool that you can differentiate between the artist and their activism. Do you have a problem with the political activism of the right?
"Bruce Springsteen is encouraging Americans to meet "in the middle" during a Super Bowl LV ad for Jeep.
The iconic musician, known as "The Boss," stars in and narrates the scenic two-minute ad, which features far more Americana and landscape than any Jeep vehicles."
