Angry TV Ad Against Bruce Springsteen Tour

TV Ad Against Bruce Springsteen Tour


Rocker Bruce Springsteen has been slammed for his upcoming concert tour to unseat current President George W. Bush.

Marilyn O'Grady, a Conservative Party candidate for the Senate, has launched a television ad campaign against the rock'n'roll star.

The Vote For Change tour is one of the most overtly political statements of Springsteen's 30 year career and he is joined by other significant acts, including rockers Pearl Jam, John Mellencamp and the Dixie Chicks.

In the ad, O'Grady says, "He thinks making millions with a song-and-dance routine that allows him to tell you how to vote."

"Here's my vote: Boycott the Boss. If you don't buy his politics, don't buy his music."

The commercials are set to run on Fox News channel before the tour starts in October.

First of all, I just need to say that this is a big bucket of warm BULL****! I am so glad that there is a political "tour" going on this summer against bush. There needs to be more of that.
The thing that pisses me off about this artical is why is this targeted at the Boss? The Dixie Chickens are in on this, Boonie Raitt (SP?), John Mellencapm, REM, and others are on this tour too. So don't target just one artist Target the tour.
I don't give a flying fu*k who you are, you do not trash one of my biggest musical influences.
Boycott... Who are you telling to boycott this? Kerry Supportes. There not going to listen to you crap anyways. All I/they want is Bush out of office. Freedom OF SPEECH ****ERS! People should be able to do what they want and say what they want. This is AMERICA! The last thing I need is some politician telling my to boycott something. You guys don't listen to people like me so why should I listen to you.

Ok that was my rant!.... Be sure to check out my "Bush Needs to leave thread"
