SPRINGSTEEN HAS ALWAYS BEEN SOMEWHAT OF AN ACTIVIST

If you are thinking that this activism is new - it's really not.  The Boss has always been somewhat of an activist - a Rock/artist activist.

An admirer of Radical History godfather Howard Zinn, he's as much a political radical as he is a Rock and Roll star.

He was a fierce opponent of the Vietnam War in the '60s and one of the best known critics of Reagan’s decimation of the American working class during the 1980s.

More recently, in 2013, Springsteen’s E Street Band played a gig in Chile just a few days before the anniversary of the death of Víctor Jara – the legendary Chilean socialist and folk singer murdered during Pinochet's (CIA-backed) coup.

The type of artist that Springsteen is, will either make you like him more, or you might not like him at all.  I've heard both things from people.  Kind of depends on where you are politically, yourself.
