I'd punch the fucker if I could. The buck stops with him. He chose the most cynical way to do it. Spending the majority of the early part of the tour on the East Coast, letting millions of us on the west coast high and dry. NYC, Philly, hell...Long Island...anything he can fly a copter to. Fuck off. I am tired of supporting this crap.
That sound you hear is the end of the greatest band I ever saw or heard. Giving in to the industry and ripping people off. FUCK YOU BRUCE. Jon is just a yes man now.
You all know how much I love them, and consequently, I am more let down by this than anything he has ever done. You can add up all the missteps going back to the poorly recorded shows in 2014. Then add no west coast dates then. 2016 was a waste of time in comparison, then the best shows were in the late summer and if you wanted to go, you needed to fly to Jersey or Philly. We on the west coast got fucked over. Then add the narcissistic self-serving mythology bullshit of Broadway. yes, I said it. Fuck you, Bruce Springsteen.
Thought folks on here might appreciate this exchange:
"How is it that Robert Smith managed to hold Ticketmaster in line, but Taylor Swift can't manage it..?"
"Because Ticketmaster is the disease and Robert Smith is THE CURE!"
What can I say? I'm a big fan of the well-executed Dad joke.
