Does he really mean it?
Progressive rocker Bruce Springsteen has apologized to his fans for being a hypocrite.
Bruce struck an exclusive deal to release his latest greatest hits collection with Wal-Mart.
The Boss’ die hards have cried foul because he has been a longtime supporter of worker’s rights, and as y’all know, Wal-Mart isn’t exactly known for the great way they treat their ginormous workforce.
In a new interview with the New York Times, Bruce said:
“It was a mistake. Our batting average is usually very good, but we missed that one. Fans will call you on that stuff, as it should be.”
Uh huh.
Visions of money running through your head can impair anyone!
Just admit it, Bruce!
Wal-Mart issued its own statement regarding the Bruce bruhaha:
“Millions of Springsteen fans have counted on Wal-Mart over the years to deliver his music into their lives, and we will continue to offer those fans this ‘Greatest Hits’ exclusive and his other popular albums at unbeatable prices. We are proud of the good jobs, benefits and career opportunities we provide to more than 1.4 million U.S. associates who choose to work at Wal-Mart and serve our customers every day.”
Bruce has evolved to be a true $ymbol of American values.
Money is the true bo$$ ’round here!
