This is what I came here to say. I’m not trying to be brave, I’m just trying to live my life.

A quick google search shows that he’s got some pretty legit chin cleavage going.

Nothing good from someone who has two first names.

We’ve explicitly and implicitly told men that the more power they get, the more freedom they have to do whatever they want, including treating women (and children, in some cases) like sexual objects

“and had a life mask of her face made, just to have around.”

I’ve already done a couple “told you so”s to some Negative Nancys from a few years ago.

ALS took my Dad. Fuck that disease, any dent in its progress is a cause worth celebrating.

“It’s not their fault because they waited until the last possible second to do the right thing and then a complication arose so the right thing couldn’t actually be done” is a shit take.

Snake oil might at least have an active ingredient of some kind. Homeopathic “remedies” are almost always just water. Water with “memory.” Cause water has that, you know. It’s clever that way.

This is another symptom of the dehumanizing of children. “It’s my child, I’ll do with it as I see fit” instead of seeing the child as an actual human who should not be a lab rat, a slave, or a chess piece.

It’s such bullshit. If apple cider vinegar actually did anything about cancer, pharmaceutical companies would drive its price through the roof.

that the government and/or the medical establishment are attacking the family for their beliefs.

Bruce is the best human. Still gives it his all at every show and makes great music and he's in his 60s. I totally believe he genuinely cares about these causes/individuals. It's not a cynical publicity grab.

He’s been a social/economic justice crusader for a very long time. Wrote a lot of stuff about Vietnam vets (and not just Born In The USA, the song “Brothers Under The Bridge” is fucking HEARTBREAKING - the first time I ever cried at a music show was when David Lindley covered that one), and as you point out, he’s been…

And I’ve never forgotten the sweet delicious irony when Reagan wanted Born in the USA played at his rallies in the 80s. Did the guy never listen to the lyrics? I’m guessing no.

your bathroom is a pit of lava

Bruce’s status as “that guy your dad loves” often obscures how on-point he’s been about social justice issues, and for how long. From donating to the striking British miners in the 1980s, to writing a song about Amadou Diallo, an unarmed black man shot by the NYPD, back in 2000, to the lyrics of “Born in the USA” (and…

I really appreciated his phrasing in this. Noting that he’s doing it in solidarity with others that are working more directly on the issue; the line “It is the strongest means I have for raising my voice in opposition” - it’s all very self-aware. I dig it.

Thats why he is the boss.

Good for him.
