Rock icon Bruce Springsteen has clearly not got a fan in Foxs Lisa Kennedy Montgomery.
When Springsteens Glory Days played after a commercial break during Mondays broadcast of Outnumbered, the conservative commentator called the music legend a big commie.
I like Glory Days, I like Born In The U.S.A., la la la la la, but hes turned into a massive pinko, Kennedy declared.

Kennedy did not expand on her dislike for the rocker.
But it may stem from his fierce criticism of former President Donald Trump, vocal support of 2016 Democratic candidate Hillary Clinton and perhaps even his podcast with former President Barack Obama. ..............(more)

(9,888 posts)Springsteen just turned into a "pinko" she hasn't paid much attention to any of his lyrics. Springsteen fans who think he "turned" make me laugh. They obviously never paid much attention to anything what he was saying and singing.

I find though most people hear songs but don't listen. My coworker was shocked when I told her to listen to Pumped Up Kicks that her son said was so popular...

(11,736 posts)I know that we are pretty ignorant in the United States. It stems from an inability to confront unpleasant realities about our history. Bruce Springsteen is unlikely a Communist but he is a progressive and has ALWAYS been about telling the story of working class Americans and their struggles to survive in a society that exploits them.
It was before Kennedy's time at MTV, but anyone who has any serious appreciation for music would know who Springsteen is and what he writes/sings about.
She is either willfully misrepresenting her situation for the right wing grift, or she is truly a stupid person. Or as I said in the title...BOTH.
