Personally, I wouldn't consider Springsteen's or Shilling's opinion about anything political, but that's just me. Although I am a bit surprised at Springsteen, I would have thought he would be more of a conservative for some reason. Has he always been liberal?
he's a "populist", like Woody Guthrie.
I don't really care what celebrities think in general either, but his feelings he's said about this election pretty closely mirror mine, that Kerry may not be the solve-all but considering Bush's train-wreck of a presidency, we simply can't give him another four years.

I agree with everything you said. Just our latest federal elections here, its a matter of voting for the lesser evil. I really don't know how people are even considering voting for Bush, it just doesn't compute in my head...

why would you think Springsteen is anything but a huge liberal?
have you ever heard "Born in the U.S.A."'s lyrics?
I'll recycle something I said elsewhere: after learning how involved Schilling is in Everquest, I am unsurprised he's supporting a candidate who lives in a radical alternate reality of his own.

I never paid attention to the Born in the USA to be frank. Its just the whole ultra-patriotic and post 9-11 thing that made me think he could be conservative, I just didn't know and why I asked the question in the first place.

actually i think other people think the same thing sometimes...you know, they pump their fists and sing BOOOORN IN THE U S AAAAAA and don't even know the line is supposed to be ironic.
Born down in a dead man's town
The first kick I took was when I hit the ground
You end up like a dog that's been beat too much
'Til you spend half your life just covering up
[chorus:]
Born in the U.S.A.
Born in the U.S.A.
Born in the U.S.A.
Born in the U.S.A.
I got in a little hometown jam
And so they put a rifle in my hands
Sent me off to Vietnam
To go and kill the yellow man
[chorus]
Come back home to the refinery
Hiring man says "Son if it was up to me"
I go down to see the V.A. man
He said "Son don't you understand"
[chorus]
I had a buddy at Khe Sahn
Fighting off the Viet Cong
They're still there, he's all gone
He had a little girl in Saigon
I got a picture of him in her arms
Down in the shadow of the penitentiary
Out by the gas fires of the refinery
I'm ten years down the road
Nowhere to run, ain't got nowhere to go
I'm a long gone Daddy in the U.S.A.
Born in the U.S.A.
I'm a cool rocking Daddy in the U.S.A.
Born in the U.S.A.
Born down in a dead man's town
The first kick I took was when I hit the ground
You end up like a dog that's been beat too much
'Til you spend half your life just covering up
[chorus:]
Born in the U.S.A.
Born in the U.S.A.
Born in the U.S.A.
Born in the U.S.A.
I got in a little hometown jam
And so they put a rifle in my hands
Sent me off to Vietnam

Born in the U.S.A.

The Bush campaign can't catch a break of late.
The songwriter who helped pen the 1970s hit, "Still the One," is demanding that President Bush stop using the tune at campaign events, arguing that he's no fan of the Republican incumbent and the campaign never got permission to use the song.
John Hall, a former Democratic county legislator in upstate New York, co-wrote "Still the One" and recorded it with his band Orleans in 1976. The cheery pop tune was played at Bush events Thursday and again Friday to open and close a rally for the president in New Hampshire.
"I was watching TV, and there all of a sudden was my song, my guitar playing, my voice coming out of the speakers," said the 56-year-old Hall, still a working musician.
Hall wrote "Still the One" with his then-wife, Johanna D. Hall. The two as well as surviving members of the band are supporters of Democratic Sen. John Kerry and don't want their work used to promote Bush's re-election, Hall said.
Lucky for Bush, Ted Nugent's Cat Scratch Fever is probably available. Any other songs you think Bush should play at his rallies?
