He's 30 years older than the mother of his youngest child??? Jesus (or alternative "spiritual" equivalent–i.e, genetic program) tells successful people in whom to put their dicks. Congratulations, Dick… I mean Bruce.
The attitudes were crude .
For the sake of money on most cases.
Never saw his stuff as anti american, just all around anti war, anti manipulative government , anti bullying .
Bruce is right!His books a good read!Bruce's reading books similar to my own!
Bruce has travelled a long way… his latest music reflects his acceptance of so many mores that years ago he would have screamed about the apathy… Bruce was "the light shining through the bullet holes"….. but this is now!!
Bruce, YOU ARE THE GREATEST…!!!! 🇨🇦😉
Normalcy bias is dangerous.

From 1950 until Trump's election people could "say whatever we wanted to"? Classic affluent liberal obliviousness. Workers and leftists have not been able to "say whatever they wanted to" in the last 70 years. Not even close. And what exactly is this thing the Trump administration did to so dramatically silence people in the last year that it's the worst time in since 1950?! Liberals really believe they are living in a completely different world after 2016. It was all sunshine and rainbows until the day Trump was inaugurated.
"Pacing the cage" my favorite track from Bruce. Am I suppose to know his dad?
I have no idea what he's talking about when he acts as if people in the U.S. are unusually "capable of self-criticism." There is a cult in this country surrounding the military and the flag, and if anyone dares to criticize or protest either, they are invariably assailed, denounced as "anti-American," and thenceforth a persona-non-grata in respectable society. I live in rural Midwest. Tens of thousands of people die each year for lack of health insurance and there's little-to-no protest here—most people are probably not even aware of the fact. Yet if someone fails to take their hat off for the national anthem, everyone completely loses their shit. When it comes to our imperialism and militarism, criticism is largely off-limits in a way that it simply isn't in most other countries.
