That Ann Althouse can’t stand Bruce Springsteen is refreshing. It irritates me when people manage to ignore Bruce’s lyrics and message to the degree that they can dance along deliriously with the music despite the fact that the whole point is that they’re a small-minded vicious colluder in the worst instincts of our political culture. Bruce Springsteen thinks Ann Althouse is a shit, which I know because I’ve actually listened to what his songs say and what the man has to say. It would be ridiculous for Althouse to rock out to Darkness At the Edge of Town or The Ghost of Tom Joad.
In this life, Springsteen took a side. Althouse took a side.
They are not the same sides.
