Douche Springsteen....

I just love it when libtard 'musicians' or as they like to be called, 'artists' show exactly how much of a hypocrit they are.

Take the issue of one Bruce 'The Boss' Springsteen.

Many years ago, my older brother and I debated who was 'cooler', more talented, and would have a bigger impact in years to come: Bruce or Prince. I was a Prince fan, he was a fan of the awful singer from Jersey.

Prince rocked his last Superbowl, and I doubt The Douche can top it, but we will see.

Now it comes out that 'the blue collar worker that cares so much for the little guy' signed and exclusive CD contract with the end all most evil corporation of all time: Wal Mart!!

But, it was not premeditated...It was a ....'mistake'.

Riiiiight.

Kinda like when Bono and U2 moved all thier publishing royalty catalogue to the Netherlands to avoid the higher taxes of the Emerald Isle.

"For years, Bono and U2 got a better deal than most Irish taxpayers because songwriters paid no tax on earnings from music publishing. That will change next year, when Ireland limits the tax exemption, which also applies to writers and artists. From Jan. 1, artists who make more than €500,000, or $625,000, a year will pay tax on half their "creative" income, according to the Irish Revenue Authority.

Remaining in Ireland would have forced Bono to pay a 42 percent tax on such earnings. Alternatively, the band could have channeled profits through a company to pay the 12.5 percent corporation tax."

Or when Eminem pleads for all his minions to 'vote', but does not vote himself for many years.

For the most part, the people who constitute the various elites of show business, academia, the UN and other areas are strictly of the "do as I say, not as I do" variety. Al Gore wants you to ride a bicycle, while he uses a private jet to go from point to point. College professors want their young, often gullible, students to ignore - in fact, never learn about - the more than 100 million murdered by Communists while they preach their Marxist dogma. The same academics are also in the forefront of stifling independent thinking and freedom of speech on campus. The UN, of course, is painted as the corrupt organization it is, a world body dedicated to the enrichment of its bureaucrats while it ignores human rights abuses throughout the world.


A fellow blogger describes yours truly as a 'conservative musician'. That is partially true.

But stop and think: who do you know that proudly calls themselves a 'conservative musician'? Toby Keith? Not so much... Charlie Daniels is the only one that cones to mind, even though we all know actors that refer to themselves as 'conservative'.

It's easy to be a Douche Springsteen. Follow the crowd. It's much more brave and more difficult to be a conservative musician.

Why cant we have another 'Elvis'?
