Bruce Springsteen is the latest celebrity to say he’ll move
out of the United States if Trump is elected.
You can’t trust The Boss to keep his word.
You have to wonder why he didn’t leave four years ago when he promised his fans he would stay out of the election and then betrayed them by doing a concert for Hillary in Philadelphia when Pennsylvania was seen as a swing state.
The Democrats assumed that Springsteen from New Jersey would generate votes that would help Clinton beat Trump – when it was black votes she needed, and most Springsteen fans were voting the GOP candidate.
The man who made Asbury Park famous clearly had to pay back Obama for the medals Obama gave out ahead of the election to get so many celebrities on Clinton’s side (nobody really liked Hillary back then.)
The fact that Springsteen has suddenly joined the bandwagon of celebrities promising to leave but never do shows just what a copycat he’s been for most of his career, stealing most of his material from other successful bands from the first day he strapped on his guitar. His newest album is so full of rip off riffs it might serve as a best of album for people like George Harrison.
Springsteen found success ripping off Van Morrison for his first two albums after years of ripping off heavier rock and roll bands when he headed the band Steel Mill.
Maybe he sees Australia as a new venue where he can rip off bands that nobody back here in the United States have heard of before.
The Boss joins a host of stars who keep telling us they will leave if Trump remains president.
You have to love these people who make their fortune here in a capitalistic system then support socialist candidates who promise to redistribute wealth. Are Biden and Harris planning to redistribute Springsteen’s wealth, too?
The fact is these celebrities generally do very little to help the causes they claim they support, and then threaten to pack up and leave when they don’t get their own way.
Notices, Springsteen picked Australia rather than England to migrate to – and not just because people might recognize all the Beatles riffs he’s lifted over his long career, but because taxes on celebrities are lower in Australia than in England.
Well, if Springsteen is going to leave, then maybe we should all help him pack.
After all, he was Born to Run.
