Awesome interview from Backstreets Magazine with Bruce Springsteen and why he’s chosen to be a part of the Vote for Change Tour. A highlight:
Basically, this is probably the most important election of my lifetime. I think that the government has drifted too far from American values. After 9/11, I was like everybody else — I supported going into Afghanistan, and I felt tremendous unity in the country that I don?t think I?ve ever felt exactly like that before. It was a moment of great sadness, but also tremendous possibility. And I think that was dashed when we jumped headlong into the Iraq war, which I never understood, and I talked about that on the road. I never understood how or why we really ended up there. We offered up the lives of the best of our young people under circumstances that have been discredited. I had to live through that when I was young myself, and for any of us that lived through the Vietnam War, it was just very devastating. (full interview)
