Springsteen endorses Obama
Bruce Springsteen, who'll be playing on Friday at the BankAtlantic Center in Sunrise, is visualizing the next White House occupant. The New York Times' blog "The Caucus" wonders aloud whether Springsteen's endorsement of Barack Obama will prompt Hillary Clinton to stop having Springsteen's The Rising played at her campaign stops.
I'd stick with The Rising if I were advising her. It's still better than You and I, the soaring-insipidly Air Canada jingle sung by Celine Dion that camp Clinton actually chose as a theme. If she keeps airing Springsteen at her rallies, she's basically saying his music matters more than his politics. Plus, nobody tells Hillary "No Surrender" Clinton when to quit doing anything, as we know from weeks of delegate-counting.
Springsteen's open letter is here and his song database is here should you want to pick the mighty mighty Boss tunes that you think best fit Clinton, Obama and John McCain.

Would we expect anything else from a filthy-rich elitist like Springsteen? His endorsement rings true with snobs and out-of-touch millionaires everywhere.
