Springsteen Posts Gore's Anti-Bush Text

Although open with his political opinions on stage, Bruce Springsteen generally shies away from such issues when not on the road and in the public eye. The artist has broken from that tradition by posting the full text of a speech former Vice President Al Gore gave late last month during a MoveOn.org-sponsored appearance at New York University in the "news" section of his official Web site. http://brucespringsteen.net/news/index.html

Springsteen, whose staunchly anti-war stance is well known to fans, calls Gore's remarks "one of the most important speeches I've heard in a long time. The issues it raises need to be considered by every American concerned with the direction our country is headed in. It's my pleasure to reprint it here for my fans"

At a time when most opposed to the George W. Bush White House have backed off rhetoric in the wake of former president Ronald Regan's death, the site gives Gore's anti-Bush criticisms a new forum. As a result, it has sparked a firestorm of conversation in Springsteen discussion groups on the official site and elsewhere on the Net.
