MAGAS Have Found A New Nemesis

Bruce Springsteen....The Springsteen biopic will hit, and Jeremy Allen White who plays him in it is a good actor. Some MAGA moron said he's a regional act. To which I replied he was a headliner at Glastonbury. I hope and trust the biopic will be a box office hit.

But was surprised to find out he is not.

The resemblance is uncanny. And I really want a Gene Wilder biopic with Jeremy Allen White as the star.

On the 'apprentice.' I saw the clip on YouTube. I was NEVER a fan of that shitshow. Funny as hell bit though. I don't think he lived much longer after that.

I checked out the clip because I never watched that shitshow either. I'll just say it takes a lot to make Gary Busey look even-keeled. Though it was probably all set up by (Special Envoy to the UK) Mark Burnett.

Thanks. Definitely the type of distraction I need when I habitually hop onto DU.

What a fucking moron. I don't care if you like his music or not, that's just a dumb fucking thing to say. He's sold like 150 million records.

Wed Oct 15, 2025, 11:47 AM
Oct 2025

It was a debate between a Brit and an American. The Brit was denigrating rap. The American pointed out Jay-Z wowed the crowd at Glastonbury. A lot of MAGAS compare him unfavorably to Bob Seger. I love some of his work. He was huge in the late 70s. However his body of work isn't impressive as Springsteen's work. If they knew Bob's politics they would hate him too. He just doesn’t have Bruce's platform.

Bruce Springsteen sued Chump to make sure he never used the song. It wasn't that long ago either.

...lyrics that most artists only dream of.

And, Springsteen shows are a fantastic mix of intimate moments and unbridled energy.

I have no idea how the movie will capture it all--or if it will--but I am glad it is going to be out there.
