I don't know all about his political views but I do like his music. I attended his concert here this past fall. There was no mention before or during the concert that he personally donated $50K to the local food bank. It was disclosed the day after the show and he was long gone. Again, don't know about his politics but I like his music and his charater.

Grew up with his music, love some, some not so much. Like hometown boy back in Indy Mellencamp I have to forget about the politics and just enjoy their musical talent.
But then again it is that way with a lot of "stars." Pretty cool you got to meet him, I would probably handle the same and steer clear of any touchy subjects.

Freakin' loved Springsteen when I was a kid. Album was commercial but I almost cried when I couldn't get tickets to Born In USA tour. Don't really follow his politics but no one ever left his show feeling cheated. Gotta admit I woulda had trouble breathing once I figured out it was him.

He's pulled my MIL up on stage twice (different shows) and he gave her and my husband back stage passes where they met the E Street Band and Don Henley. I guess he didn't have too many 45 year old ladies showing up and rocking out to his music in the front rows back in 1984. Recognized her again during another tour and pulled her up again. I was there for that one. He was very sweet about it.
