Dissing the Boss

From British Springsteen fan blog:

"Apparently, the US Senate believes that just having a patriotic essence is not enough; one has to be a Republican and strong supporter of President Bush to get any honors. It does not matter if you write songs that can jolly well be US anthems, it does not matter if you shoot in the sky screaming Born in USA or you roam the Streets of Philadelphia, or if you are one of the first artistes to perform for 9/11, if you support a Democratic Presidential candidate, you are not going to get any honours."

It's true.

This same Senate that last year honored that great humanitarian Ted "Motor City Madman" Nugent, who believes the way to keep kids form drugs and violence is to have them "whack" animals, and lives in a compound somewhere. Ted is the author of that famous American paean to traditional female roles, "WANG DANG SWEET POONTANG":

That Nadine, what a teenage queen.
She lookin' so clean, especi'lly down in between; what I like.

She come to town; she be foolin' around,
a puttin' me down as a rock-and-roll clown. It's all right.

Wang Dang Sweet Poontang

Wang dang, what a sweet poontang,
a shakin' my thang as a rang-a-dang-dang in the bell.

She's so sweet when she yanks on my meat.
Down on the street you know she can't be beat. What the hell.

Wang Dang Sweet Poontang

I guess the Senate was right; how could Bruce produce any music that could possibly have the artistic or patriotic merit to compete with this?
