'The Boss' backs gay marriage | The Columbus Dispatch

I bet Gov. Christie just burned all his Springsteen CDs.

Now there's some gravitas for the debate.

He's at least holding on to "Born to Run," but "Nebraska" and "Born in the USA" are toast.

So the Mr. Tough Guy Rock 'N Roller from the days of "Born in the U. S. A." - the guy with the bandana sticking out of his jeans - the guy who gave us "BORN TO RUN" - you know, "hey, baby, just jump on the back of my bike and we're outta here"...

THAT GUY is in full support of GAY MARRIAGE!!!

Thanks for the news flash, Brucy. But we could have figured that out for ourselves.

You're a liberal. Liberals love division and class warfare. So of course you support gay marriage.

Brucy, if you weren't a liberal and didn't support things like gay marriage, you would never have been given a recording contract by the liberal elite that have always dominated the music industry, Hollywood and MTV. You'd probably be about $100+ million poorer right now.

It's always funny how OVERPAID SCHMUCKS like you actually think WE CARE about what YOU THINK ABOUT ANYTHING.

So Springsteen only made it because he's a liberal? So all those years playing with The Castiles, Earth, and Steel Mill, attracting larger and larger audiences until he got his record deal meant nothing.

Your jealousy of Springsteen's money shines like a second sun. How is he overpaid? If millions are willing to buy albums of HIS music and pay to see HIM, he's not entitled to that money?

Obviously, if he came out against gay marriage, you'd be singing his praises.

I never could understand many of his lyrics when he sang. I often wondered if he was gurgling something.

Wow! Sorry to blaspheme your idol!!!

Hey - what kind of cereal did he eat when he was a kid???

IF your little buddy Brucy came out AGAINST gay marriage:

1) NO ONE WOULD REPORT IT, and
2) HE'D NEVER FIND WORK AGAIN

Liberals eat their own - and if anyone falls out of lock-step with the liberal agenda, they are outcast and destroyed. Just ask Joe Lieberman.

In your convoluted world, it's OK to knock people in BIG OIL or BIG PHARMACEUTICAL, etc.- but I guess we aren't allowed to go after BIG HOLLYWOOD or BIG MUSIC or BIG TRIAL LAWYERS UNION or BIG S.E.I.U. or BIG ACORN or BIG TEACHER'S UNION or BIG U.A.W. or BIG GENERAL ELECTRIC.

I now compel you to bow at the altar of THE BOSS! And I have it on good authority that he was a big fan of Cocoa Puffs as a kid.

Anyway, your "I hate liberals" venom has finally eroded to your brain. It's really unfortunate that only liberals will attack those who don't conform. I guess forcing a GOP congressional candidate out of the NY-23 election for her "liberal views" and the proposed 10-point conservative purity test currently circulating in the RNC are nothing like that.

Get over yourself.....you know nothing about me, and your lame checklist of "liberal" orgs you're required to rail against is tired and doesn't apply to me.

And how exactly would Springsteen "never work again" if he came out against gay marriage? Companies would stop pressing and distributing his successful albums? Venues would stop booking him for sold-out shows? Ha! Makes total sense.

I have yet to find anyone in Hollywood, or in the music industry who has any morals whatsoever. Hollywood and the music industry have always had a motto of "anything goes"! And you wonder why our country is in the state its in. God created Eve for Adam NOT Steve!

Just another psychotic with a chip on your shoulder. The only way YOU approve of anything is if Sarah Palin or George W Bush approves of it. You say you have your own opinions, but they are borrowed from the likes of Rush Limbaugh. Who cares if Springsteen approves or disapproves of Gay Marriage? We should be paying attention to what YOU say, right? Now that you are done espousing your hateful opinion, go put your head back where it has been for so long.. up your rear.

yawn, all this force-fed Sean Insanity and Rush limppaw anger is old...calm down you schmuck, put in your Toby Keith cassette tape and remember them good ole days. Oh wait, Toby Keith is also a bleeding heart liberal, what's a narrow-minded conservative to listen to?

Thanks for proving my point about there being very few conservative performers.

But while you're at it, why don't YOU calm down and pop in your Fitty Cent or Kanye or Dayton Family CD? And don't forget to pull those boxers out and grab your junk!!!

Well, the fact that most people who identify as conservative are uninteresting bores may have something to do with the dearth of conservative entertainers. However, Rush Limbaugh, Glenn Beck, and Sean Hannity are extremely successful performers......so successful that a lot of gullible folks look to them as intellectual leaders.

I think what really is getting the dander up on the conservative posters here is that anti-gay marriage performers won't say it in public as a general rule. They may be afraid of losing their contracts, but I suspect they're more afraid of losing their audiences. The target audiences for everybody are the young and affluent, and, sorry guys, people under 30 lean more liberal than people over 30. Didn't you notice the demographics in the prez election last year?

Bruce jumped the shark at least 15 years ago. He's just an old brain-addled former rock star, so of course he likes "countercultural" ideas like sodomy.

With age comes wisdom.

huh, i don't see what the clutter in my basement has to do with any of this and i don't even own dogs. i think kanye's an idiot, find fifty cent's music nauseating and don't even know who dayton family is/are. but if we're going to play pick a sterotype, i guess i'll reply with: break out your hank williams and go kiss on your sister

Actually, God DIDn't do that. The garden of eden is a bible story. A myth. We know that man was not 'created' five days after the universe. To put any belief in that is absurd.
