NJ Singer Bruce Springsteen: Stop The Politics At Concerts [Op Ed]

I love music. What I don’t love are the talented entertainers who mix partisan politics during their concerts. It ruins the moment.

SHOULD BE AN ESCAPE FROM POLITICS

We go to concerts and other forms of entertainment to escape the daily vitriol and politics.

PRESIDENT TRUMP TRIGGERS ENTERTAINERS LIKE BRUCE SPRINGSTEEN

Many entertainers can’t seem to help themselves. Especially when the American President is Donald Trump.

WHY?

Why do entertainers offend 1/2 of their fans by offering nasty political commentaries during what should be a wonderful concert, etc.?

BRUCE SPRINGSTEEN SAID SOME NASTY STUFF IN ENGLAND

While on stage in Manchester, England, Bruce Springsteen did not hold back with his sharp criticism of President Donald Trump.

It is always bad form to criticize the American President while you are on foreign soil, and, while the President is on foreign soil.

Springsteen broke both “rules,” describing the Trump Administration as “corrupt, incompetent and treasonous, said Springsteen.

SPRINGSTEEN DIDN’T STOP THERE

In my home, the America I love, the America I've written about that has been a beacon of hope and liberty for 250 years, is currently in the hands of a corrupt, incompetent, and treasonous administration, said Springsteen.

THERE’S STILL MORE

"Tonight, we ask all who believe in Democracy and the best of our American experiment to rise with us, express our voices against authoritarianism and let freedom ring,” said Springsteen.

SPRINGSTEEN CONCLUDED

"Weird, strange, and dangerous" things are happening in the United States, said Springsteen … calling it "The last check, the last check on power after the checks and balances of government have failed the people, you and me,” said Springsteen.

Entertainers like Bruce Springsteen are so deranged by President Trump that they are willing to turn-off 1/2 of their potential fan base.

Does that make any sense?
