| Her father Bruce Springsteen might have been ´born to run,´ but she was born to ride. Jessica Springsteen, the only daughter of the 63-year-old rock star, mounted her loyal steed on Sunday afternoon to take part in the The Trump Invitational $100,000 Grand Prix at Mar-a-Lago in Palm Beach. The 21-year-old equestrian, who´s been riding since she was 15, was dressed in traditional English-style riding helmet and boots along with a preppy polo shirt and white trousers.

Springsteen´s a counter culture hero and I´m sure that´ll filter down to his daughter. Of course these same people mocked Ann Romney´s horse riding.

May she be happy. And may her father eventually realize he is a fool and a hypocrite. Nothing wrong with making money, and he has worked hard for his. So what´s wrong with other people doing the same?

Wonder if his daughter will be as foolish as his dad, and fall all over the One! I do not even want to listen to Springsteen´s music anymore. May he find the error of his ways one day. Don´t care for him or family.

Musically, one of the lamest ´superstars´ ever to sell an album or ticket. Like Obama, this guy was created by the media. I remember Time and/or Newsweek covers extolling the talent of the ´Next Bob Dylan´. As if we were even asking for one.

If public television ever again shows an old concert called "Black and White" meaning not color television) given by Roy Orbison and a bunch of young people, all of whom later became famous, be sure to watch it. Bruce Springsteen is one of those young people. He is simply the best player of the guitar I have ever heard. His voicer is nothing to rave about but adequate.
I love Springsteen´s "My Home Town". It could have been written about mine. "My dad told me, these jobs are going, boy, and they ain´t never coming back" it was the story of my home town.
Yes, he is a hypocrite but that does not make him less talented.

President Obama´s decision last year to allow young people living in the U.S. illegally to stay and work marked the biggest shift in immigration policy in decades, hailed as a landmark step toward the American dream for a generation of immigrants.

On Easter Sunday, Google is honoring the birthday of the late labor organizer Cesar Chavez by placing a Chavez portrait within the middle “o” of the Google logo that appears on the homepage of the popular search engine. While Google frequently decorates its logo to celebrate various holidays and special events, it is unclear why the company chose specifically to honor Chavez’s birthday, instead of Easter Sunday. Chavez co-founded the organization now known as the United Farm Workers union (UFW). He became an iconic figure in the labor movement, with his stature only increasing since his death

Recent research indicates that the number of people who do not consider themselves a part of an organized religion is steadily on the rise. Interestingly enough, though the number of those religiously unaffiliated is increasing, there is little to no trend in the number of those who express atheist or agnostic beliefs. People aren’t saying they don’t believe in God. They’re saying they don’t believe in religion. They are not rejecting Christ. They are rejecting the church. This begs the question, “Why are we losing our religion?”

Well, here is one video featuring North Korean exercises and Kim Jong-Un holding a gun, and we´ll say this: they certainly get points for presentation.
