Bruce Springsteen may not be running for political office, but his article in today's NY Times shows he has one of the key required talents: the ability to pose with attitude while speaking in platitudes.
If his songs were this bland he'd still be a poor guy trying to make ends meet rather than a multi-millionaire celeb complaining that Americans don't pay enough in taxes. He could always give his money away to fund afterschool programs. Wouldn't that be a great act of "fairness"?
