A few words from Bruce Springsteen last night at the Harley-Davidson concert...
"..as we see the Bill of Rights rolled back, undermining everything it means to be an American"

He put on a great show in Milwaukee for us riders. Bikers are a diverse group politically, but his comments where very well received.

1. "well-received"?
That's good to know, because I read earlier that his political comments were met with almost complete silence.

Given the composition of the audience, silence didn't surprise me. It's nice to know someone else had a different take on it.

2. Hard to tell the overall reaction when stuck in part of the crowd
In our section to the left and near the stage, it was a positive reaction (of course he was looking at us too). In other sections, it might have been quiet. I could only judge by the folks near me.

Bikers are more liberal than they get credit for. I'd say most lean more to Libertarians vs. GOP'ers.

Great show though.
