Bruce Springsteen: Kennedy Honoree

[NorthAmericanAuthor]

I really appreciate his work. Makes me very happy.

[johnpswee]

if i asked anyone at my school about "the boss" they would just give me a wtf face.

[linnjones]

His music just makes me so happy.

[iamdustyray]

go Boss!

[Sammyjackson1488]

Sell-out, corporate rock music for wigger losers who are so fucking stupid, they don't even realize that the white race is being genocided, while Springsteen sucks nigger dick. Shame on all of you. So sayeth White Power Rock 'n' Roll.

[greenwolffe]

@Sammyjackson1488 Dude, you have a serious problem. Get help.

[Sammyjackson1488]

@greenwolffe

You know what you are? You are the last straw. I give up. Any culture that can create millions of people like you does not deserve to live. And may God have mercy on our daughters.

[Sammyjackson1488]

@greenwolffe So the extinction of the white race means nothing to you? That cannot be!

[SusieA77]

@Sammyjackson1488 No, you suck......You've got some serious problems, I am so damn glad I never met you.......

[Sammyjackson1488]

@SusieA77 For the record, if you met me, you'd like me. I get along with everybody. Oh, and let me guess: You don't live in a black neighborhood, do you?

[SusieA77]

@Sammyjackson1488 FYI No I wouldn't, given the awful post you wrote a while back here, I can really make a fair assumption of the type of person you are. Oh, and I have black friends, as well as gay friends, and a few jewish friends, as well as an adopted native american cousin. Dosen't really matter whether or not they live in my neighborhood or not now does it? By the way, have you ever heard of the human race? because that's what we ALL belong to, pal.

[Sammyjackson1488]

@SusieA77 Why don't you tell us why you would never move into an all black neighborhood? We are waiting.

[Sammyjackson1488]

@SusieA77 Would you rather have me move next door to you or a bunch of niggers?

[rocknrolldaze2]

Bruce is as real as it gets! No phony baloney!!

[ukeleleserenade]

Does anyone know what concert is shown at 1:51 or where I can find the concert footage?

[ftzgrld]

It is from the Live in Barcelona dvd (2002).On October 16, 2002, two months into his world tour in support of The Rising, Bruce Springsteen & the E Street Band took the stage of the Palau Sant Jordi in Barcelona, Spain.

[ftzgrld]

Oh sorry i was looking at the wrong footage!

[CAYOMluver]

Asian girl has some FIERCE hair

[marciwify]

What decade are we in with the big hair? LOL!

[RB1US]

I can't watch this video, because of some error I guess.

[bosszeroboss]

I really liked Bruce until he became a politician. When he wrote songs about life, he was awesome; when he wrote songs about his leftism, he was boring.

Even this interview shows he's nothing but a brain dead politician much like the rest of them.

Sad.

[drowning4sid]

my god julie, your hair id awful

[TheTravelingIdiot]

Bruce is the best.  All other artists should only be allowed to call him "Sir".

[tenorismo]

yea man , it was tough in Jersey man. I only had rock and roll to hang on to man. Yea man.

[66kpooch]

the boss

[xwaystranger]

The only entertainer to appear on the Cover of the two most popular mags at the time, before anyone had even heard of him. A Setup? Absolutely. Music became corporate propaganda with Springsteen and Michael Jackson. It was the End of independent music.

[CAYOMluver]

@xwaystranger Better Bruce and MJ than Bieber and Cyrus

[sonajssor]

i think the general consensus is that topoffman should stop posting as he is only embarassing himself...bruuuuuuuccccccceeee

[hbbeverlymusic]

@TOPOFFMAN I think the only ego at revealed here is TOPOFFMAN's .... Check out the eight entries he made on this page alone.  Why??? Hey, why don't you go top it off, and take a real long drive down to Texas. Maybe you and Dubya can go chase some hogs, and drink a beer or two - and act like real men, instead of these bleedin' heart liberals that inspire millions of people all over the world into being better citizens, and treating their fellow man with respect.

[SuzzyStohelit]

Hello? I was born in Texas, No," we" are not off hanging with the ex-prez, drinking beer and chasing hogs" we" are listening to Bruce...

So please leave "us" out of this fight, no need for stereotyping, though I think that was meant to be tongue -in-cheek? I haven't followed the thread but this wannabe Top is making a lot of people angry

[hbbeverlymusic]

@SuzzyStohelit Correct Suzzy, I wasn't taking shots at Texas per say. It's just that W. lives in Texas, and he loves portraying himself as a macho cowboy type, so that's where I felt Top guy needed to go, and be the macho butt that he is, and leave all us normal, peace-lovin,' pot-smokin,' porn-watchin' people alone, LOL!

[SuzzyStohelit]

Thank you for that kind explanation, no harm done) as I said I wasn't following the thread but Top definitely needs to bottom once in a while)

[NALung]

@TOPOFFMAN Dude, you have serious issues man. He's just a singer and songwriter. If you don't like the songs, change the station. Move on. Get yourself another hobby. Geeze

[hbbeverlymusic]

@TOPOFFMAN You are so right! He is one of the world's most respected and awarded singer/songwriters, and all the greedy ass tea baggin', self-centered, conservatives in the world can't do a damned thing to change that! It's in the history books my man.... deal with it!

[kennaz33]

@TOPOFFMAN you are an FUCKING idiot!!!!!!

[Foxy1304]

@TOPOFFMAN

Why don't you just get a life instead of posting 20+ comments about an artist you obviously don't like??

[rotag19]

First, the president at the time was not Reagan, it was Ford. Learn your facts before commenting. Second, you seem to be the one that has gone beserk. He is just an artist who doens't mind sharing his political views. You might explode if you don't calm down.  RELAX!

[rotag19]

I would say being the 4th highest grossing tour act in the last decade is MORE than trying to be relevant. How would you define relevant? Sounds like you might be a Britney fan!

[rotag19]

You hear? Who did you hear this from, your other personality?

[psychoant]

Whenever I read comments like yours, I like to imagine it being said by an infant, crying hysterically while spouting hatred for a man solely because he has differing political views then yourself.

[swacbro]

yo TOPOFFMAN, your views on Bruce Springsteen can't be based on any sort of deep thinking or understanding him as a poet for the common man...it's rare to find someone with such honest vision who can reach tens of thousands of people on a human level...to quote John Stewart from the recent Kennedy honors "Bruce doesn't sing, he testifies"...and I happen to think our president is a pretty intelligent guy too...why wouldn't someone like Springsteen align himself with Obama? get a life pal

[mmilisits]

@paulfl11 exactly!!!!

[MrTrinklied]

@paulfl11

Idiot, the so-called minorities you are referring to invented the rock music that Bruce Springsteen has been riding the coattails of since the '70s. I'm never surprised by the redneck level intelligence of this man's fans

[paulfl11]

@MrTrinklied You're the idiot butthead with no brains. They may have had some inroads into the development of the early beginnings of Rock and Roll but it is no where near the evolved sounds of the bands whom have perfected Rock and Roll and brought out the sounds of today's Rock and Roll. Your bums you refer to rely on repetitive mindless beats, learning dance steps from professionals and screaming "c'mon" into a mike now and then. Here's a tip for you - engage brain before opening mouth

[ChrisDutch]

@MrTrinklied Sorry to offend you, Mr. Tinkles.

[KOSMICKEN09]

@paulfl11 another whiny old fuck lol. hey i love bruce too but there's room for a little of everything..

[TheHausOfARTJ]

@paulfl11 such a HATER! STFU lmao

[prabeshdevk]

i think his liberal views r good.he has always gone against war, which is good.

[TOPOFFMAN]

Fuck you and John Fogerty!

[StonewallVH5150]

@TOPOFFMAN

LOL and trust me, we all really give a damn what you think of Bruce.....Yeah right.

[StonewallVH5150]

@TOPOFFMAN

No, I really don't.. Nor did anything I say give any indication that I cared... I was simply letting you know that your wasting your time.. I couldn't help but respond because I can never figure out why people like you waste your time seeking out videos of artists you apparently can't stand and then take even more time out of your day to leave harsh comments?

I'm sorry you don't have more going on in your life to occupy your time.

[sherrishera]

@StonewallVH5150 I think it's hysterical, too, how negative thinking morons actually SEEK out stuff they don't like and spend precious life moments spreading more negativity. I'm on this page because I LOVE Bruce and see him as the faith-healing, guitar-wielding savior of rock-n-roll 'neath that dirty hood that he is. Viva La Boss! MMUAH!!!

[rotag19]

You are a slow-witted moron.

[TOPOFFMAN]

@TOPOFFMAN Right On!

[brucified1]

...

PS may you sincerely experience a peaceful and joyful holiday season...take care!

[brucified1]

...caters to people who don't celebrate Chrismas? I guess what I hear in that statement is a lot of fear...fear that those non-celebrators are going to take over soon, and the country will fall apart. Be assured that Bruce does probably celebrate Christmas...as, I'm guessing, do most of his fans. He also supports things like equal rights for all, peace, joy, and personal responsibility. Personally, I don't think he, or his fans, would be worse people for not celebrating...do you?

[brucified1]

...the Shakespeare of our time...thank you Bruce...for being you!

[dizzymasekela]

So many bands nowadays are manufactured by record companies. Bruce just made it with talent and determination.

[Deneised]

Boy not to mention names - you should know what idiots you are for trashing Bruce like that - he is AMAZING after over 30 yrs - what have you done to change anyone's lives to the better - 3 GuysInCabinProd are really rigfht - Take a listen sometime you might like what you hear and why are you watching this anyway - way to go Bruce! Kirkstoyota is the retarded one

[Kirkstoyota]

bruce springsteens a big no talent jew hew so overeated its pathetic , the retarded has spoken

[3GuysInCabinProd]

seeing as how he isn't jewish, your comment is fucking stupid. you're pathetic.

[jzancan]

...he's Irish-Italian (lapse) Catholic....

[dmmachart]

"People who don't even celebrate Christmas?" A) What does that have to do with the Kennedy Center and B) HUH?! Have you been to one of his XMas shows that raises money for the NJ Food Bank? Have you heard his version of "Santa Claus Is Coming To Town?"

I hate when they let retarded people talk...

[Kirkstoyota]

i cant stand him he is so overated, kennedy center caters to people who dont celebrate christmas hmmm. but thats the media

[chrisbb33]

If you cant stand him why do you watch this....?????

[3GuysInCabinProd]

[grbosss]

1:51 is footage I have never seen before (and I have seen a lot :-) )

[bugattibowler]

I know that feeling. I love it too.

[rotag19]

I think it is from the Hammersmith DVD from the Born to Run 30th Anniversary Edition.

[angelflyn2low]

He's the man, I love him SO MUCH!

[JHGOODFELLA]

Hes one of the "last" humble Greats!! Awesome musician!!!!
