I don’t know why anyone thinks this guy is weird.

Also, is pissing off the Swifties the best of plans, Donnie?

    Bold of you to think these people ever listen to the lyrics, or pay attention to the message if they do.

    I’m old enough to remember Ronald Reagan using Springsteen’s Born in the U.S.A. as a Republican anthem when the song is about a disaffected Vietnam vet being treated like shit.

    And it was about a real guy, Ron Kovic. He wrote the book Born of the Fourth of July, which was turned into the movie of the same name. He was paralyzed in Vietnam and has been a left-wing peace activist the rest of his life.

    And really, all you have to do is listen to the lyrics. Or even just read them:
