Just heard Bruce Springsteen refer to himself as a "fellow traveler..."

...on a Sirius XM radio promo. The (alleged)Boss has come out of the closet as a communist sympathizer. Surprise! Surprise!
...and to think at one time I idolized that man. His buddy, Tom Morello, is a full-bore Communist.
quote:
fel·low trav·el·er
noun
a person who travels with another.
"the flight attendant asked my fellow travelers to turn off their phones"
a person who is not a member of a particular group or political party (especially the Communist Party), but who sympathizes with the group's aims and policies.
"he was certainly a fellow traveler—in the political context of the Thirties this was unremarkable"
...and to think at one time I idolized that man. His buddy, Tom Morello, is a full-bore Communist.

Springsteen is and has always been an idiot.

No bosses in the allegedly hierarchy-less commune, comrade.

I never liked his music. His voice grates. His saxomaphone player though was spot on.

He’s always been a leftist.
He wants to keep all his money though.
He just wants the rest of the peasants all kept in a group.

Springsteen has always fancied himself to be Tom Joad.
Tom Joad with millions in the bank and a beautiful wife. But Tom Joad, nevertheless.

Wonder if they would be millionaires under a communist regime.

How in the hell could you not listen to his music and tell he was fricked in the head?

Kinda makes me wonder about his "Born in the USA" stage.....maybe it was just a phase he was going through.
ETA:
Thanks for the info all. Valid point. I will have to go back through the album and look for this "tone" in some of the other songs out of curiosity.

Born in the USA is not exactly complimentary of the USA.
Posted on 6/16/20 at 8:09 am to Tchefuncte Tiger
Never cared too much for him and never understood all the hoopla over him in the early 80s. Sounds like he needs a laxative when singing.

I assume if we adopted his views, he gets to keep his fortune.

Born down in a dead man town
The first kick I took was when I hit the ground
You end up like a dog that's been beat too much
Till you spend half your life just covering up
(Chorus)
Got in a little hometown jam
So they put a rifle in my hand
Sent me off to a foreign land
To go and kill the yellow man
(Chorus)
Come back home to the refinery
Hiring man said son if it was up to me
Went down to see my V. A. Man
He said son, don't you understand
I had a brother at Khe Sahn
Fighting off the Viet Cong
They're still there, he's all gone
He had a woman he loved in Saigon
I got a picture of him in her arms now
Down in the shadow of the penitentiary
Out by the gas fires of the refinery
I'm ten years burning down the road
Nowhere to run aint got nowhere to go
(Outro chorus)

I quit listening to him after "The River." His blue collar, working man, shtick died with "Born in the USA." Haven't liked him since.

I usually don't say much about peoples taste in music, since it's subjective to a point, but i'd rather carry an arse whoopin than listen to springsteen. It's terrible, and him being a commie makes it somehow worse. I didn't think I could hate him more.

That song is very derogatory to the US. It grates on me that it is played during every 4th of July fireworks show.

If Bruce Springsteen is the boss, then I quit. And it has nothing to do with politics.

That's because to most people the lyrics are:
Mumble, mumble, mumble, mumble, mumble, mumble.
BORN IN THE USA!!
Mumble, mumble, mumble, mumble, mumble, mumble.
BORN IN THE USA!!
Mumble, mumble, mumble, mumble, mumble, mumble.
BORN IN THE USA!!
Mumble, mumble, mumble, mumble, mumble, mumble.
BORN IN THE USA!!
