Bruce is what white liberals think is "working class". They love his blue collar stories and faux southern accent. He is one of the "artists" that left-wing media has told us is a genius; as they fall over themselves to praise his rock.
They do the same now with Foo Fighters.
Meanwhile, many quietly wonder why this supposed genius music is so generic, boring and lousy. I must be missing something, they say. No, it really does suck.
Your pop stars have been selected for you, just like your current "President".
