Since when is witnessing an alleged ‘shot’ probable cause to pull over? And don’t you need to fail a field test to be forced to blow or get blood drawn? Then it comes out at 0.02! If he was really drunk, so be it but this sounds crazy.

...or is the 0.02 unsubstantiated by his PR team?

I think Jeep pulled the ad for other reasons. There’s a Boston Globe article about how the ad managed to infuriate both liberals and conservatives.

This sums it up.


Who cares? He’s a musician. He writes great music and has played with top-notch people.

It’s not like Michael Jackson, who was a pedophile.



So, we quickly went from, “But he’s a working class hero” to “at least he’s not a pedophile.”

Perhaps that sums it up.

He literally acknowledges his fraud, yet his fans still believe it’s all real. Hilarious!

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?

It's a National Park patrolled by the Park Police. No local jurisdiction. This guy's job will be fine.

Some women here can't understand why someone with money wouldn't adopt some faux WASPy "lady of the manor" act. Some think everyone has the same class anxiety that they do.

Oh, please stop. He has working class roots and worked hard to build the life he has. Unlike our former White House dweller, who had everything handed to him and pretends to be a friend of the working man while instead giving tax breaks to the rich.


This is what I’m talking about.

Why bring Trump into it? Weird.

I’m a bleeding heart liberal with a day job that falls under the SJW umbrella. And, I sat in the second row at a Springsteen concert. I actually like his old music (although my NJ husband loves it more).

I just think it’s funny how old white people anointed him as some hero. He’s not. His fake country boy Schtick is no different from Madonna’s fake British accent. It’s a persona created for marketing purposes.

He’s literally schilling himself for Jeep, yet you people continue to worship him as a purist musician who fights the system for the working man. It’s funny.


Back in the 80's I was a musical purist and bitched about musicians doing car commercials. Then I grew up.

I think a good lawyer will get him out of this. One shot is not a DUI. He's way under the limit. It's gross that anyone would even think this is reckless.
