Bruce Springsteen - Comments and Message Board

Bruce---Walmart--really? So very disappointing. Does that mean you are a sham? Seduced by the almighty dollar? We own an independent music store, hanging on by the skin of our teeth in this economy and have always admired what you supposedly stood for---and we could NOT believe that you would freeze out the people you spoke out for. As an indie, we are now not able to purchase your new release to sell to our customers, because apparently you want to sell to Walmart customers only. Shame on you for being a phony, and shame on us for believing in you. The worst part is we planned on taking our 11 year old to your concert in Denver this spring --however, we have decided that after this disappointing news, none of us would enjoy it, so if you know anyone who wants to buy some tickets....

Just finished reading how Bruce thaought his contract with Wal-Mart was a big mistake. Because "millions" of fans called him on the deplorable conditions that Wal-Mart emplyees are subjected to. May these "millions" of "fans" should use their influence for good. And maybe Bruce should have checked with the people that work for Wal-Mart instead of listening to 3rd party crap. Bad move Bruce. Some of those people buying your products are probably using Wal-Mart money. Hard earned, made honestly money, by people that don't buy into the hype that anti Wal-Mart groups spew. I won't buy another thing from, about or for you. I don't want to seem like a hypocrit, since I work for the company, happily.

I think Springsteen has it right. I think he is beautiful in his lyrics and in his music. I think he has a wonderful way of looking at life and questioning it. He has impacted my life in such a profound way. I love everything about him as an artist. He is an artist. A first class artist. You don't see or hear many like him. He's special.
