A large fan club for singer Bruce Springsteen is shutting down because it has been torn apart by his embrace of far left politics and his endorsement of Michigan radical Abdul El-Sayed.
It’s amazing to see Springsteen’s legacy imploding over this. Hope it was worth it for him.
For years, he built an image of someone who was in touch with working class Americans and it is all crashing and burning in real time.
This is the El-Sayed endorsement he posted to Twitter/X:
Dr. El-Sayed is a fighter for our American Constitution, he’s a fighter for our American Democracy, and he’s a fighter against the corrupt, lawless, and anti-American leadership currently in the White House. That’s why I’m in his corner 100%.

That was apparently one of the straws that broke the camel’s back.

Bruce Springsteen fan club founders say political fights, El-Sayed endorsement led to shutdown: report
A Bruce Springsteen fan club couldn’t escape the badlands and shuttered over political commentary.
Founded more than a decade ago, the “Spring-Nuts” Facebook group dedicated to The Boss noticed its 18,000 members were no longer focused on his music as they battled against “hateful” online discourse due to Springsteen’s public stances and recent endorsement of Michigan’s senator-elect, Abdul El-Sayed.
“As the world grew increasingly divisive, hostile, those tensions inevitably spilled into our little corner of the E Street world,” founders Julie and Howie Chaz said in a statement posted on Sunday, Nov. 8, according to Asbury Park Press.
“What should have been respectful differences of opinion too often deteriorated into personal attacks, bullying, insults, and some genuinely vile and hateful rhetoric.”
Springsteen embarked on the “Land of Hope and Dreams” tour earlier this year with the E Street Band and legendary guitarist Tom Morello.
The 20-date tour across North America was slated in response to President Donald Trump and the “No Kings” protests…
“Spring-Nuts” founder Howie Chaz admitted that as Springsteen became “more outspoken about his politics,” the group administrators were tasked with a “difficult balancing act” of respecting “his absolute right” while maintaining an ethical online community.
Years of good will from legions of fans all over the country, now gone.
These are real life consequences.
