Interpreting Springsteenese

So The Boss, Bruce Springsteen, has endorsed Barack Obama as his choice for US Pres. Here’s what Bruce had to say…

“He has the depth, the reflectiveness, and the resilience to be our next president,”

That means that Barack has a very large, porous, oily, rubbery fivehead (it’s just a little bit bigger than a forehead). I don’t know what this has to do with Obama’s qualifications to become the next POTUS, but who knows how musician’s minds work.

“He speaks to the America I’ve envisioned in my music for the past 35 years, “

Titles like – Badlands, Streets of Fire, Wreck on the Highway, Two Faces, My Best Was Never Good Enough, My City of Ruins…

“…a generous nation with a citizenry willing to tackle nuanced and complex problems, “

He means – A citizenry who focuses on the tedium and things unimportant compared to the sovereignty of the nation.

“… a country that’s interested in its collective destiny and in the potential of its gathered spirit. A place where ‘…nobody crowds you, and nobody goes it alone.”

Man, even I don’t understand this one. At first I thought he was in favor of population control ala Ted Turner and Paul Ehrlich. But, I think this last sentence sputtered forth from his lips at the exact same time the angel dust finally kicked in.
