Bruce Springsteen Cancels Stadium Show After City Council Demands He "Stick to Singing, Not Politics" - Locals Furious Over "Common Sense" Free Speech Stunt
I tell ya, this is what happens when you let out-of-touch rock stars think they run the place. Bruce Springsteen cancels his sold-out concert here after some city council members told him to can the political rants and focus on the music. And what does he do? He throws a hissy fit and walks away. Talk about disrespecting the working man. This isn't about "censorship," it's about common sense. We don't pay $200 a seat to hear a millionaire lecture us about the election. If he can't stick to "Born in the U.S.A." and leave the preaching for his Hollywood pals, then good riddance! Now thousands of families are stuck with useless tickets and the whole downtown loses a weekend of business. Typical.
