Speaking of music, something struck me as odd during Philadelphia Rally. Tim Walz was talking about Josh Shapiro and mentioned going to a Bruce Springsteen concert with him and he gets applause, but then the crowd switches to booing and Tim says, “Whoops”. Anybody know what that was all about? Didn’t Springsteen perform at Obama’s inauguration? Why the heck would they boo?
This is what he actually said…
And I think sometimes we forget and you see people a little one-dimensional. But seeing a guy who cares so deeply about his family, a man with compassion, vision. And I’ll have to tell you this, I know this from experience, there is no one you would rather go to a Springsteen concert in Jersey with than him.
I tried timestamping this link (whether that works or not), but it starts at 01:04:04 in the video:

They’re not booing, they’re saying “Bruuuuuuuuuuuce”.

… there is a meme with photos of Harris and Walz as young adults and the punchline is they’re headlining Bonnaroo (because they look pretty cool) but I don’t remember where I saw it

Ah! I thought for a moment, maybe they were booing because he mentioned Jersey? I choose to believe it was “Bruuuuuuuuuuce”. Thanks!

I was so confused at my first Lou Reed concert. Like, why did you buy a ticket if you hate all his songs.

Tim didn’t say “Whoops” either. He also said “Bruuuce”. Philly is right on the border of New Jersey, and maybe an hour’s drive from where Springsteen grew up. Everybody in that area loves Bruce.

What is this forgotten, almost alien emotion I might be feeling? Is it… hope?

Went to a Tigers game w/family about a thousand years ago. When Our Dear Lou Whittaker came up to bat, aunt judy said, “I thought he was good? Why is everyone booing?” Mom explained, “They’re not booing, they’re Lou-ing!” and we all joined in, loudly Lou-ing for Our Dear Lou.

Even though I am not allowed to vote, I will be listening to this song next November, thinking of Tim (and Harris) and hoping US citizens found the one you love, not just a replacement for Tronald Dump.

start getting kids educated again and letting people have choices over their own lives
It’ll never catch on. /s
Not even if the second part is what Republicans claim to be about.
[Narrator: It’s not what they are about.]
