1. Let them waste their money

It won't change anyone's opinion.

[BlueEyedSon]

2. You know, I never replaced my vinyl "Born to Run" with a CD....

time to go SHOPPING!

[Eloriel]

11. Yeah -- there are a LOT of Boss albums I need -- now's the time

I'm thinking. Go, BRUUUUUUUUCE!!

[eleny]

21. Check out the thrift shops for old albums

I've seen lots of vinyl at them. Some great oddball ones, too, to use for crafting. But I've seem Bruce albums many times.

[Reverend_Smitty]

3. and again I'm gonna say

does anyone remember the people who boycotted the Beatles after their bigger than Jesus comment? Remember how successful that was? I mean that really sunk their career...John, Paul, George and Ringo, who?

Silly people!

[Bill McBlueState]

4. they're so desperate!

Pathetic moves like this ad make me think a major change is coming. Perhaps these are the last-ditch attempts of an ideology that knows it's going to lose big in November.

5. Boy, GOP music libraries must be really awful...

I mean really, how many decent right-wing artists are there? Is it all Toby Keith and Ted Nugent? Is it all gospel? Seriously, the music issue alone is enough to keep any normal person out of the GOP. Let alone the horrible policy platform.

When I think of GOP music, I think of that horrible opera-style singing that was in all the old Disney movies. You know, the chorus of wailing banshees staring down their noses at you from the choir seats...c'mon...who's with me?

[Eloriel]

14. Toby Keith is a registered Democrat

I can't defend SOME of his lyrics, but I was very happy to hear that (the registered Dem part) because I can't help it (and I tried until I learned he is a Dem), I'm a fan. I think he's an extremely talented songwriter, and I love his voice as well.

[displacedtexan]

18. You are soooooooooooo correct!

Lawrence Welk, Ray Conniff, Montovani, The Serendipity Singers, Up The With People...

[Misunderestimator]

25. Opera singers... wailing banshees? I can tell you that most of the opera

singers I know are liberal. Just like most artists. I think it would be more appropriate to call it Ashcroft-style singing, if it's the kind I'm thinking you mean. (...and the Disney style is more broadway-style than opera... just sayin')

[SoFlaJet]

6. good

more tix for us baby-Bruce ain't losing a wink over these idiots,and when I see him in a few monthsa I will hug him for all of us here on DU

[Reverend_Smitty]

7. You know Bruce???

if so that is so cool...I've been living in NJ my whole life any you would think that I would run into him just one time! Even my mom got to meet him, she snuck into the Stone Pony about 20 or so years ago when he was doing a sound check, and they didn't kick her out because she was cute and persuasive!

[SoFlaJet]

13. he eats at a place I play

15. awesome!

8. DJs on a local radio station were making fun of it this morning.

Saying what an idiotic place (NJ) it is to try a boycott of Springsteen. And this was an Infinity broadcasting station...

[CBHagman]

9. Send Marilyn O'Grady your receipts when you buy the DVDs and CDs.

And urge her to place them in the bodily orifice of her own choosing.

Anyone got an address on this nut?

[kerry-is-my-prez]

10. Damn - another CD I have to buy.

I've had to spend a lot of money on things I wouldn't normally buy in the last few years: The Dixie Chicks, Martha Stewart, Linda Rondstadt.

On the bright side: at least I don't have to buy Britney Spears and Jessica Simpson crap. That would REALLY suck.

[AgadorSparticus]

29. so my tween niece says to me.....

"yea, i like britney spears okay. but her voice is bad." BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

[LiberalEsto]

12. It's their loss

If they choose to deprive themselves of the pleasure of listening to the Boss, it's their loss.

It's a pity we can't lure them into boycotting tv, newspapers, radio, food, breathing air, drinking water, etc. They're stupid and obsessed enough that we might be able to trick them into it.

[Classical_Liberal]

16. This is like boycotting the flag, mother and apple pie to most rock fans

not to mention the people of New Jersey.

[kerry-is-my-prez]

17. This will only call more attention to Bruce supporting Kerry.

Most people don't even know about it - I suspect. I think this will backfire.

[Bluzmann57]

19. That is usually correct

When "NYPD Blue" first announced that there was going to be partial nudity from the characters, there was a guy named Wildmon who was calling for a boycott FOR A SHOW THAT HADN'T EVEN AIRED YET! That didn't work out too well. A lot of people tuned it in just because of bthe extra attention Wildmon gave it. If I worked for that show, or anything else the Righties want to boycott, I'd give them a hearty thank you. Like Franken did. Boy their ignorance never fails to amaze me. And to quote a line from Bruce Springsteen, "Have a Party in the Pink Cadillac".

20. Boycott the Boss? BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

Good luck, Marilyn!

[RichardRay]

22. My favorite Springsteen song

has always been Human Touch. If I wanted to go buy 2 or 3 new CD's so I'd have something to send this lady, which ones would Springsteen fans suggest?

Richard Ray - Jackson Hole, WY

27. "The Rising" would be fitting.

There's several songs about 911 on that CD. She should crawl back under the rock she crawled out from under. NJ lost a LARGE number of people in 911 and Bush USED the disaster to attack Iraq. Bruce knew people who were killed. :(

[in_cog_ni_to]

23. The repukes are getting desperate!

Boycotting Bruce Springsteen???? Goof grief! I hope she's spending a whole bunch of $$$$ on the ad. Waste, waste, waste those repuke dollars.

Does Springsteen have any NEW CD out right now? If not, I'll buy an old one that I don't have.

Will the repukes ever learn? Whenever they do this to one of our supporters, their sales go UP!!! They aren't very bright, are they?

[ClassWarrior]

24. COOL! More publicity for the tour!!

[blm]

26. Hard to believe that ANY broadcaster would air an ad advocating a boycott

of ANY commercial enterprise, which Bruce Springsteen and his record company and his production employees all fall into that category.

Has this EVER been allowed?

[in_cog_ni_to]

28. Rhandi Rhodes is talking about this...right NOW!

How funny!
