It Must Be Sad For Them
You’ve probably heard by now that Bruce Springsteen endorsed Kamala yesterday. I’ve embedded the video of the actual endorsement at the bottom. It’s excellent, much better than most celebrity endorsements I’ve seen. I found the line, “And they wanna grow our economy in a way that benefits all, not just the few, like me, on top. That’s the vision of America I’ve been consistently writing about for 55 years.” He’s clearly referring to songs like “Badlands,” “The River,” “The Ghost of Tom Joad,” “Youngstown,” “Land of Hope and Dreams,” “Death to My Hometown, “We Take Care of Our Own,” “Jack of All Trades,” to name a few.
My guess is that Springsteen’s endorsement is meaningful to his huge fan base and is likely to marginally increase voter turnout, something that would be especially helpful in Pennsylvania, Wisconsin and Michigan, among the states with his biggest followings. His credibility is unchallenged and the endorsement itself aligns with his decades of songwriting and, of course with his authentic public image. It’s probably more meaningful than the Liz and Dick Cheney endorsements.
