No one who's followed Bruce Springsteen's illustrious career should be surprised that he's jumped into the political race, backing Democratic incumbent President Barack Obama. In 2004, The Boss was the star attraction at numerous "Vote for Change" concerts supporting then Democratic nominee John Kerry. And when Obama was inaugurated, Springsteen was there, performing before millions, Pete Seeger-style.
Last week, Bruce Springsteen posted a lengthy missive on his official website, detailing his views and beliefs. Now, he's planning a free concert at a big Obama for America rally in Charlottesville, Virginia, on Tuesday.
