It's not often when two things in my life that I am very passionate about collide. Today, the best singer/songwriter of our generation, Bruce Springsteen, endorsed Barack Obama as a candidate for president. Springsteen said, “He speaks to the America I’ve envisioned in my music for the past 35 years, a generous nation with a citizenry willing to tackle nuanced and complex problems, a country that’s interested in its collective destiny and in the potential of its gathered spirit.”
Awesome. That is exactly what this country needs.
Perhaps Bruce just knew that Barack was "born to run" for president. Or maybe he knew that the Pennsylvania primary was coming up next week and needed some help on the "streets of Philadelphia." Or maybe he realized that there was "trouble in paradise" and knew the country needed a change of direction. Or maybe... Ok, maybe he just knows he's the most influential politician since JFK and best choice for president. Either way, I'm happy.
