Springsteen Puts CNN Hack In Her Place

Interview by CNN's Soledad O'Brien with Bruce Springsteen:


O'Brien: There is a whole school of thought, as you well know, that says that musicians -- I mean you see it with the Dixie Chicks -- you know, go play your music and stop.

Springsteen: Well, if you turn it on, present company included, the idiots rambling on on cable television on any given night of the week, and you're saying that musicians shouldn't speak up? It's insane. It's funny. [Emphasis Added]
