Springsteen: Born to lie

I was a huge Bruce Springsteen fan throughout the 1980s and 1990s. However, I'll never forgive Bruce Springsteen for throwing the NYP police officers under the bus in his poorly written song, "American Skin." The song became the biggest anti-cop anthem this side of "Cop Killer." Bruce failed to realize that cops are "working class heroes" just like he claimed to be.

Anybody who buy's Springsteen's "working class hero" act is pretty dumb. Springsteen's recent Walmart deal definitely proves this. You may recall that Springsteen sold his greatest hits album exclusively at Walmart earlier this year. Springsteen then threw Walmart under the rug by claiming he didn't really understand what he was doing. Sorry, Bruce: Everybody knows that Walmart isn't known for treating their employees well.

For anybody who still cares, Bruce Springsteen is getting ready to write his own autobiography.  I can predict the title of the first two chapters: "Do As I Say, Not As I Do," and "How to Be a Homewrecker."
