nice Irony Richard.


*shrug* since he decided to take a political stand, he will face the consequences of that stand. Im sure even you understand that. One of those consequences is that I will never spend a cent on his music again.  

Suppose your favourite music artist, whoever that might be, came out openly as a KKK supporter. Would you keep buying their records?

I think the KKK and the Democratic Presidential Nominee are 2 entirely different things. But that's just me.
My mind is a raging torrent, flooded with rivulets of thought cascading into a waterfall of creative alternatives.
Stay thirsty my friends.

Nice try, but you're point was that you were no longer reluctant to dl his songs as mp3's.

Stick to your guns man. You made the point now defend it. Don't try spinning it into something else.

Oh no that means the supermodels are next.  It shouldn't be long before we will be suffering through their erudite political commentary.

"I've been in politics for over 20 years, and for over 20 years, I've had Barbara Streisand trying to do my job. And so I decided to try my hand at her job." —Sen. John McCain, in a Saturday Night Live sketch in which he sang ballads from his new album "McCain Sings Streisand"

Eh? Im not defending my point when Im explaining why I made that decision? He openly took a political stand, I dont like it, I will never give him another cent. How hard is that for you to understand? What is there to explain?

And my question still stands. Suppose one of your favourite artists came out as a KKK supporter. Would you still give him your money?

Nope, defend the stealing of his songs, based on his politics.

You said it.

Don't like his values... steal his songs. heheh

Hortlund...do you still intend to d/l his songs?  I wouldn't do either (buy or d/l), but not for politics.  

If you REALLY hate his political stance it seems somewhat hypocritical to still listen to his music.  Even if you stole it from the net.  

I say "somehwhat" because his music is a different kettle of fish from his politics, nonetheless based upon how strong your political convictions are I would have assumed that what Bruce is doing would affect your desire to even hear him sing.

Not an attack at all, I'm just curious.

Nah, I love his songs. Some people find that strange because he is a working-class writer (in the text-sense I mean) and Im a neocon [insert omnious music].

Me on the other hand, I dont find it strange at all. I dont think anyone can capture an emotion in a textline the way he can. He is the Boss...nuff said. I have listened to Springsteen since I was 13-something, and I have all his records.

I have always known he has had his sympathies to the left. I can live with that. In fact I dont have a problem with that. Now he comes out and start campaigning for Kerry. I have a huge problem with that. One of the consequences of his support for Kerry is that I will never again give Springsteen a cent. And I can  honestly say that I hope everyone else does the same.
