Neil Young has issued a statement of support for Bruce Springsteen.

[Swede]

"Thank you, Bruce.

As a dual Canadian-American citizen, I join the vast majority in thanking you for speaking so eloquently and truthfully on behalf of the American people,

We are with you, my old friend."

1. There's a warning sign on the road ahead

2. Maybe musicians and actors are showing more leadership on standing up to Trump than our elected officials

Democrats and Republicans who have had enough:

Have some courage!

[BadgerMom]

8. Maybe. But I've soured on celebrity political endorsements

since the (for me) unforgivable of behavior of oh-so-self-important George Clooney last June when he published that editorial about Biden that is getting attention once more with the publication of Tapper’s hit piece of a book.

[speak easy]

10. "the oh-so-self-important George Clooney"

was hosting the biggest fundraiser of Joe Biden’s presidential campaign.

16. True. Along with others.

He was advised by Jeff Katzenberg, an organizer of the benefit who was there as well, not to let the NYT publish the editorial. Katzenberg felt it went too far and was unfair. He felt it was kicking the President while he was down.

We can agree to disagree about Clooney, but he was not the brains behind the fundraiser. He and Julia Roberts were the pretty faces there to draw donors.

[Evolve Dammit]

14. Nice Neil!

[sheshe2]

15. Solidarity!

[pecosbob]

17. Neil is like that old leather jacket in your closet you've worn for decades...it fits better every time you put it on.

This song has brightened my day many, many times over the last fifty years...enjoy.

[Aussie105]

18. Strange that people with talent, charisma who are well liked by most people are so threatening to Trump!

And he feels the need to ridicule, bully and badmouth them.

Actually, it is just jealousy.

Trump long ago learnt to substitute bluff, bluster and bullying for those admirable human qualities.
It doesn't work.

[NowsTheTime]

20. Jealousy....exactly right....he has absolutely shown his jealousy of Taylor Swift

[thought crime]

19. Remember that the Nazis banned Jazz

"...the Right likes the "right" type of music." - Bruce Cockburn

Bruce Springsteen and Neal Young both have ties to the folk music that was so influential in American culture in the New Deal years. For the Far Right, that kind of music is subversive and dangerous. Just like Jazz in the thirties and Rap now.

And just listen to Jesse Welles, coming in under the radar. They don't hear it coming.
