Any problems with Springsteens DualDisc?

I don't think opposing Bush constitutes far left politics at all. Many centrist people opposed him; just not enough of them (as tabulated.) If you have some other indication than Springsteen is "far left," I wish you would post it.

There are a lot of people who think Springsteen does not have a "good" singing voice. It's not important that he does in the sense they mean it, because you don't necessarily have to be a technically good singer to be expressive.

I think he's a pretty good artist, and wish he would demand better quality recordings....

Do I really need to post an example of his politics? C'mon
step away from the Kool-Aid, do you think he has ever been a fan of anyone on the right? Anyway it was a joke, nothing more, nothing less..move on, its not worth the energy.
But if I could take out Bruce, the Dixie Chicks, and Striesand with one Gernade I might put effort into that.
Again just a joke, get over it

Why of course the people don’t want war. That is understood. But, after all, it is the leaders of the country who determine the policy and it is always a simple matter to drag the people along, whether it is a democracy, or a fascist dictatorship, or a parliament, or a communist dictatorship. Voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is tell them they are being attacked, and denounce the peacemakers for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger. It works the same in any country.’’ _ Hermann Goering, Luftwaffe Commander.

I vote for better recording quality on the Springsteen discs. Even the early LP's were muddy. No excuse for that.

As for politics, his lyrics have always suggested sympathy for those struggling to make it in our society. I've never detected that he blames anything or anyone in particular, like, the government, the rich, or the poor themselves for not trying hard enough. Bruce paints portraits of gritty situations.

I remember that the New York police were so upset with his song "41 shots" that they refused to provide security (at first) for his New York concert. But I don't think they really read the lyrics, which, I think, don't blame the police for the situation. The song just paints a portrait of a type of situation that happens routinely in which police need to decide, in a split second "Is it a gun, is it a knife, is is a wallet? This is your life!".
