Laura Lee's Sin Bin -Johathan Cain
Published 1 month, 4 weeks ago
Description
Journey keyboardist Jonathan Cain recently blasted Bruce Springsteen on a podcast, calling him an "annoying, bitter old man" and telling him to stop criticizing Donald Trump on stage. Cain also claimed Springsteen’s "Born in the U.S.A." is a "diss" toward the country, urging him to "act like" he was born here.The comments sparked swift backlash.
Critics pointed out that "Born in the U.S.A." has always been a protest song about Vietnam veterans, while others highlighted Cain’s hypocrisy, noting that Cain routinely mixes music and politics himself, even clashing legally with Journey bandmate Neal Schon over political performances. For just just staying in his own lane, Cain should feel shame, shame, shame.
