Who would have thought that that Bruce Springsteen, Dave Grohl, and Zac Brown, accomplished musicians all, would be so, well, tone-deaf? But how else to explain their choice of song—Creedence Clearwater's famously anti-war anthem “Fortunate Son”—at the ostensibly pro-military “Concert for Valor” this evening on the National Mall?
The song, not to put too fine a point on it, is an anti-war screed, taking shots at "the red white and blue." It was a particularly terrible choice given that Fortunate Son is, moreover, an anti-draft song, and this concert was largely organized to honor those who volunteered to fight in Afghanistan and Iraq.
On a musical level, “Fortunate Song” is not a bad song—that's one hell of a riff. But the “Concert for Valor,” a Veterans Day event sponsored by HBO and Starbucks, in front of the Capitol Building, was not the place for it.
You know what. I never liked Springstees music. It always bored me. Then when I learned he was basically a communist. He is worthless and a sad choice for this event.
Stop being such a knee-jerk reactionary who parrots right-wing, neocon talking points for a change.
Even better, go back to bashing "faggots".
That's more your speed.
My dad is a veteran. He doesn't like Springsteen.
Lots of people haven't liked Springsteen since way before Fox News was even on the drawing board. So your reactionary response of Fox News... is just blather from someone who likes regurgitating liberal talking points then regurgitating them again.

Check.
Springsteen is a condescending punk who ridicules America as well as the military grunts who merely do their duty. Between he and the whigger Eminem, this Veteran's Day "homage" was an absolute disgrace and utter embarrassment to any SANE observer.
As to Deckard/IW's menopausal reaction, it is FOX News and *only* FOX News reporting on 0bumkaCare author Gruber who admitted "stupidity" of the American people was the reason they passed that trash to begin with -- NOT MSNBC, CBS, ABC, CNN, the Times or any other media/network.

Yeah, that must be why he performed for the troops.
As opposed to Henry Kissinger who said "“Military men are just dumb, stupid animals to be used as pawns in foreign policy.”
When are you taking the time to perform for veterans? I don't hear any of them complaining about Springsteen, it's just the FAUX News parrots who are perpetually offended.

He's recruiting. Pimping for the lib crusaders. NOT seeing it? That's shame.

Here's MORE irony: BOTH Springsteen and Henry the K are ON THE SAME SIDE. Both are elites globalists who think they know better than the rest of us. Where do YOU stand? With THEM or US??
