[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Also, his dad was a bus driver and his mom was a legal secretary. How can you argue that he doesn't have working class roots?

Is he not allowed to advocate for the working man just because he achieved success in his career path?[/quote]

And somehow now he’s a cowboy from middle America ;0)

Bus driver = union job
Legal secretary = good salary

He was solidly middle class, likely UMC.

There’s no need for an affected accent. That’s an act.

And, perhaps most importantly: what exactly has he done for the working class aside from appropriate a persona to sell records to them? [/quote]

Bus driver = UMC? WTH are u smoking?[/quote]

Bruce was born in 1949. A union bus driver in the 1950s and 60s was solidly middle class. The middle class didn’t start to nosedive until the mid/late 70s.

Plus, his mom had a job. And, his grandparents lived with them (no childcare costs, and presumably SS income).

You’re really stretching here.[/quote]

Yeah, this hardly sounds upper middle class:

Douglas Springsteen, with his wife, Adele, raised three children next to a gas station in central New Jersey. Bruce, the oldest and only boy, was born in 1949. In addition to factory work, Douglas had an assortment of jobs, including cab driver and prison guard.
