Really weird that Springsteen and Mellencamp who seem to be "working class hero" singers are for anything but with their politics. Still, I don't care about politics with singers. Just make a good song. Mellencamp beats "the boss" in spades in that regard.I like his album after BITUSA. Tunnel of Love. The one with Brilliant Disguise. Some real gems on there. Never saw him live. He's lost a lot of people over the years due to being so outspoken politically. Billy Joel says he stays out of politics publicly as you lose half your audience.
