"He gets into economic justice quite a bit. It's very rock'n'roll. He feels it's the angriest album he's ever made. The Boss' wrote and recorded the majority of the album before the Occupy movements started around the world so he's not just setting headlines to music."
I lost over 30% of my gross income in the past four years and of all the things I wanna hear, Bruce Springsteens opinion about economic inequality is quite possibly the very last of them. unless he is for it, of couirse, that at least would be honest.
What does Springsteen know about economic injustice? This guy who pays no taxes on 200 acres of farmland he maintains for his fucking daughter to ride horses on. This guy wants to tell me about economic inequality? Get the fuck out of here.
The quote above was from an "insider" and I got it off the NME and I think it proves how completely out of their minds rock stars are. Springsteen writing about his working class Papa, that I'll by. Springsteen, the guy who narrowly avoided a PR disaster by not buying his daughter a horse for $1M, has nothing to be upset.
When it comes to politics, Springsteen had the best record in the world till he blew it away for… John Kerry. John Keryy???? The guy whose wife owns Heinz? That guy. Wow, way to throw away decades of good will for absolute nothing. Kerry was such a lousy candidate he made Bush Junior look sincere. Then he completely forgot how to write songs.
Which leads us to the new one.. According to NME: "Produced by Ron Aniello (Patti Scialfa, Jars of Clay), the album is said to venture into unexpected areas and features loops, electronic percussion and influences veering from hip-hop to Irish folk. While no release date has been confirmed, Springsteen is scheduled to deliver the keynote speech at South By Southwest in Austin, Texas on March 15, fueling speculation that an album may coincide with the appearance. "
The guy who produced Jars Of Clay? That should give him that angry, contempt…. I can't even write it. Maybe Rolling Stone was write. Maybe Working On A Dream was a 5 star album, relatively speaking.
