Roseanne Barr: Springsteen Should Turn Super Bowl into Protest

roseanne-barr.thumbnail.jpg

Roseanne Barr wants Israel to stop bombing Gaza. And the US to stop bombing Pakistan. Here’s her latest idea to get the point across, posted on her blog:

The Boss oughta demand during his half-time appearance this Sunday that Obama stop bombing Pakistan (which even President Karzai of Afghanistan has requested) and stop funding the Israeli war machine!
TELL OBAMA TO STOP BOMBING PAKISTAN AND MAKE ISRAEL STOP BOMBING GAZA!!!!

Actually I’d rather have the Boss use his performance to show support of the Employees’ Free Choice Act, which might go a long way toward offsetting his fans digruntled feeling over his  exclusive deal with Wal-Mart–the one he says he now sorry about.

If a TV star like her wants to tell a pop star to,during the middle of a sports contest, tell the President how the world should be run, then we’ve likely found the perfect way to decide foreign policy.
Why hasn’t this been reported by the mainstream media?

I don’t know what Bruce thinks about Gaza. While I know most of the band agrees with Bruce politics as far as helping the poor and domestic stuff, he does have two(as far as I know .. plus his manager is as well) members of the Jewish faith among his band. I know Max Weinberg was the most active in 2004(along with Bruce) but I don’t know what any of them think about Gaza.

I think Rosanne Barr is looking for relevance on someone else’s coattails.

And in a bid for relevance on someone else’s coattails my own damn self, I agree that Springsteen’s image might benefit from a little halftime demagoguery on the Employees’ Free Choice Act.

Either option is less likely than a wardrobe malfunction.
