Derek, please hold it down a bit in here. It is way too early in the morning for all this yelling you keeping up. I'm also going to ask that you put your red herring back in the freezer.

You think JFK and MLK were the only two people ever to disagree and speak out against what the gov't does? Even if you think so. it still doesn't make the song anti-American.

They were Americans too. You suggesting they were anti themselves?

Where I am right now, in Cairo Egypt, it is 7.55. (Evening.)

Yes, many people have spoken out, but not many are in a position to be listened to, like for examples, Kennedy and King.

No they weren't anti-themselves. I clearly stated they were against government policy. Government policy is not the American people.

Red herring. Yeah.

yep, i think TW got raked over the coals cause of his Huge Hypocricy. he made SURE he had one squeakyy-clean public image like him Mr Perfeck, but really carryin on a sleazy 'secret life' - the tabloids LOVE that stuff. Bruce had no such image, rock-n-rollers are already well-known for them badboy ways, they expected to do that stuff. It's no surprise in that world.

also TW and JJ's million a gals were sleazy 'National Enquirer' cover-material, Bruce's jumpoff was just a regular housewife. and it was only one, not many ...
Altogether too dull &amp; boring for the tabloids.

and - Bruce Jewish? whe de L u get THAT idea??

So if gov't policy is not the American people, then how you feel safe calling the song anti American. America is not just the gov't but also the people.

RichD is right. It's an anti-American song.
But he's Jewish (not RichD) so there's no trouble with it. </div></div>

who is Jewish? Not Bruce Springst<span style="font-weight: bold">een</span>.. He was raised Roman Catholic. The wife with whom he has children is italian. The name may appear jewish but not. </div></div>
Yes, he was raised Roman Catholic and his wife is Italian. But he is Jewish.

Do you think <span style="font-weight: bold">een</span> means anything less than <span style="font-weight: bold">ein</span>?

Or do you think <span style="font-weight: bold">een</span> makes him Catholic?


I honestly thought the entire world was aware of the Jewish propensity to change their name to make them seem less Jewish.

Too much dumbing down with Tiger Woods, America's Top Model, posterior man and Oprah on this [censored] board.
</div></div>

Bruce is a local guy around here (along with Jon Bon Jovi ) and hangs out in the local places..

chruss me de man aint jewish

my bellllyyyyyy that HAS to be one of THE most ignorant things i have EVER seen almost put the coffee right thru my nose on that one

u honestly believe someone's name has anything to do with their religion? talk about &quot;dumbing down&quot;!

look up 'Norman Jewison' and see what you find, de man have the word &quot;jew&quot; right in his name and even HE is not Jewish.

and on the flip side, MY surname is pure Irish, yet i AM Jewish. Our family name got changed on the immigration records at Ellis Island when my great-grands came over, cause the dummies working there had not the education nor inclination to make any effort to deal with the correct spelling of 'farrin' sounding, or 'weird' European names, so they put down whatever name they could think of that sounded 'kinda like' the real one. Peer lazyness &amp; ignorant immigration dept. employees, THAT is why so many Jewish ppl's surnames were changed from their original famly names.

and here <span style="font-weight: bold"><span style="font-style: italic">I</span></span> honestly thought the world was becoming more educated, with less stereotyping. Silly me.

Bruce is Anglican Catholic, was born that way, raised that way and although not religiouis nor actively practicing, that is what he is.

<div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Quote:</div><div class="ubbcode-body"> Bruce Frederick Joseph Springsteen was born in Freehold, New Jersey, September 23, 1949, the firstborn of Douglas and Adele Springsteen, who would go on to have two other children... The name Springsteen is Dutch, although Douglas Springsteen is solid Irish, and Adele, Italian.

<span style="font-style: italic">Contrary to popular belief, there is no Jewish blood in the mix, commonly thought to be so due to the family's surname.
Both Bruce's parents were, in fact, Catholic.</span>

~~~~~~

Bruce Springsteen was raised in a fairly devout Catholic home. The influence of Springsteen's Catholic background on his music has been noted, and Catholic Social Justice teachings appear to have become a strong influence on his adult political beliefs and activism. However, Springsteen is not known to have been an active churchgoer as an adult. Springsteen is not evasive about his Catholic upbringing, but neither is he known to openly embrace a Catholic self-identity.

<span style="font-style: italic">Occasional mis-identification of Springsteen as being Jewish or having Jewish ancestry is entirely erroneous and appears to be based purely on his surname. </span> </div></div>

I find peoples interpretation of events, songs, life etc. amusing.

JFK WAS GOVERNMENT POLICY! HE WAS VIETNAM AND BAY OF PIGS!
AMERICAN INTERVENTIONISM AT I'TS BEST(WORST).

You say Americans are not allowed to speak out against government policy? I have to agree.
Today people are being vilified for speaking out against Obama care.
