Such a great point. Bruce is a much better artist than Anthony, but himself admits he’s always been playing a bit of a character in his songs. Anthony’s seeming authenticity really resonates on the internet. Would be interesting to look through Bruce’s catalog to see what all qualifies as “right wing” by today’s meaningless terms.

This is such a good point and an additional layer of interest. Because you’re right. Bruce had admitted to more or less cosplaying working class himself for ages. And these days his most ardent fans, from my empirical and unscientific observation, seem to be rich while liberal folks who enjoy the same cosplay. It’s all some kind of weird ritualistic absolution thing. Or at least has evolved from something true to that.
