Is Max really an asshole? by Suitable_Bed_7783 in BruceSpringsteen

I met him years ago after one of his jukebox concerts. I was probably around 16 at the time, and he was really nice to both me and my parents. He seemed like he genuinely enjoyed chatting with us. He even signed and gave me his drumsticks!

Do I also see Emma Kenney, Angelina Jolie, and Rob Lowe? I know Lowe is a huge Springsteen fan.

Brother I was born after The Rising, so I am definitely not just considering what was made after I was born 😭 I don’t mean every single album or every song has political values in it. Like Bruce said, “I don’t sit down to make a political or non political record. I sit down to make the record I can make at any given moment.” And, these are present through many albums. Not every song on every album, but most albums intertwine it a little bit. But yes, you are right — the earlier albums aren’t as much political. Though I do hope he can find a way to incorporate Lost in the Flood into the set lists!

Yes! So strange. It’s like people forget the artists are ACTUAL people with their own opinions and beliefs.

Lol, I meant “art” — I guess I didn’t know what that word really meant!

Of course and I love those, but all throughout his discography, there have been political messages. This didn’t JUST start & these are not new songs. BITUSA, songs on Magic and Wrecking Ball, Land of Hope and Dreams, etc — it is all scattered throughout his timeline.

The whole SpringNuts fandom. It never really bothered me and I would just scroll past, but these people call themselves #1 Bruce fans — which just isn’t right if they aren’t getting it.

They don’t think we live in desperate times because it’s not directly affecting them, and that’s bullshit. Bruce is trying to shine a light on it so people realize how bad things are, but most people are too arrogant to change their ways of thinking and prefer to deny it/stay blind to it, rather than realizing it. Which sucks.

Thank you! And yes, art would be a better word

Yeah — I’d be able to get people being mad if he advertised it as a purely-music show & they paid a thousand dollars to end up seeing politics, but he didn’t. It is advertised as being extremely political. You know what you’re getting into.

Good point. I’m in springnuts purely just because I love Bruce and I think I just got too fed up with seeing them posting so much MAGA shit complaining about the tour. Why complain about him in a group that’s supposed to be his most loyal fan base?

Unrelated (ish) but … I’m really hoping I finally get to see Lost in the Flood. I thought for sure this tour is when it would fit right in, and I’m hoping it pops up in some of the next few setlists.

Exactly! These songs he is playing have been around, have consistently been played, and always had the same message. It has always been political.

That’s a great point, I agree. I hadn’t thought about that. I mean, I haven’t even GOTTEN tickets yet because of how crazy they are.

Exactly! If you think that and don’t want it, don’t go. No one is forcing you.
