Brad Hobicorn's Bruce Springsteen cover band faced a canceled performance in New Jersey due to the bar owner's concerns over customer backlash following Springsteen's sharp criticism of Donald Trump. The owner admitted to being worried about losing business since his clientele largely supports Trump. Hobicorn argued that the cancellation deprived the venue of potential Springsteen fans eager for live music. The incident reflects the heightened cultural wars in New Jersey, where Springsteen's politically charged messages clash with some local attitudes, especially amid divided loyalties among blue-collar workers.
"The reality is we would have brought a huge crowd out there: new customers that are Springsteen fans that want to see a band locally."
"The America I love, the America I've written about...is currently in the hands of a corrupt, incompetent and treasonous administration."
"This dried out prune of a rocker ought to KEEP HIS MOUTH SHUT until he gets back in the Country."
