The Boss's Super Bowl ad

A goodly number of those who voted for him were often embarrassed by him. Perhaps most of them in his baser moments. (like bragging about his ratings after pandemic press conferences)

[Mik]

That’s a fair point. While I liked his policies, his communications were often cringeworthy.

I’m willing to give Biden a chance, knowing that I will disagree with many actions. Some things he is doing, like keeping sanctions on Iran, are wise.

I was embarrassed by Trump, and I'm not even an American.

He united the world!

74 million people (or more) in this country do not agree with you.

10.7% of Americans believe that chocolate milk comes from brown cows.

25% of Americans believe that God has a say in who wins the Superbowl.

41% believe that humans and dinosaurs co-existed.

It’s easy to feel philanthropic when you have more money than you could ever spend.

I'm not. I never liked it, so "boycott" is probably the wrong word in my case.

[Catseye3]

@george-k LOL. You're like the little boy who promised to give up broccoli for Lent.

[George K]

@catseye3 that's funny.

Ditto.

Much of his music is depressing.

[Doctor Phibes]

All his stuff sounds like it was written by a guy strumming his guitar in his bedroom.

I've never understood the huge appeal. There's nothing special about it at all. There's no edge, there's no humour, there's no virtuosity, it's the kind of music that makes me change channels when I'm driving.

Maybe I'm missing something. When I was a kid growing up in the UK in the 70's and 80's, I'd never have dreamt of listening to it. It's flabby.

[jon-nyc]

I never really listened to him either. Except on the radio in high school.

[Loki]

He was never my thing but many women swooned over him so pretending had its merits.

Link to video

To be clear, we're supposed to want to buy a Jeep because of that commercial?

[taiwan_girl]

I should run for cover, but he is an US music artist that i like. ‍️ LOL

[bachophile]

I have a Jeep

I’m all for centrist policies.

But I’m not buying another Jeep

Next vehicle is definitely Asian. Japanese or Korean.

[Mik]

BUT... do you like Springsteen? That is the question.

I do. Particularly the early stuff, but I have a lot of respect for him as an artist.

I also think that Springsteen's songs are infinitely more entertaining when sung in a Japanese or Korean karaoke.
