What is a more fitting way for the man who wrote the
legendary song Born in the USA
to finish off a 100 concert tour with a stop at the 105th
anniversary of Harley Davidson? While it
seems like a match made in heaven, Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band
finished their world tour in Milwakee to mixed previews and reviews.
Springsteen's music, which like her personal opinions
support his generally "left" views, has not always been looked upon favorably
by those who support the actions of the US military. However, Springsteen kept his views to
himself for the majority of the event, with only a brief discussion about the
song "Livin in the future", which touched on a few world events. There were some audible groans heard from the
crowd, but as the political discussions stopping as quickly as it stopped, the
crowd was positive for the show and the concerns about unhappy attendees proved
to be an unfounded one and "The Boss" and his crew jammed for almost three and
a half hours, playing in the area somewhere around 30 songs.
Those who were more concerned with the music than political
concerns were disappointed to not hear Born in the USA, but all in all the world tour
finale proved to be a big hit with the crowd, and a great touch for Harley
Davidson's 105th Anniversary celebration.
The company planned on having over 100,000 visitors from
around the world to flood to Milwaukee, Wisconsin for the four-day celebration with activities
ranging from a parade through the city to special events at the newly opened Harley Davidson
Museum.
