It was less than a year ago that Bruce Springsteen rhymed “pajamas” with “Osama” in a masterful musical tribute to The Lightbringer. But, well, ever since Obama’s expressed interest in taking military action against Syria, war-hatin’ Bruce hasn’t made a peep. What gives? Ace of Spades was understandably curious:
Where did the media's intense interest in the incoherent mutterings of Bruce @Springsteen go? http://t.co/HustCsQbSp

Hey, @springsteen, yeah you, Band Camp. Why haven't I heard your rambling incoherent moronmouth babbling lately about #Syria?
— Ursus, Director of Weather and Banana Programming (@AceofSpadesHQ) September 5, 2013
It’s only a matter of time, right?
@AceofSpadesHQ @springsteen we should be hearing a protest song anytime. Since he wrote a half dozen for the last president.

Sure! C’mon, Bruce!
hey, @springsteen, The Von Clauswitz of Rumson NJ, put us all some Geopolitical Mumblings here, buddy.

Maybe The Boss just needs a little help. Fortunately, Ace is nothing if not a giver:
I hear @springsteen has a new accoustic song coming out called "Let's Bomb Some Brownies"

@AceofSpadesHQ @springsteen The saxophone riffs are said to be reminiscent of fighter jets screaming overhead.

Perfect!
.@springsteen's next single will feature him mumbling, "Aaay, Assad, you watch your gas, or the Warrior Eagle's gonna have your ass"

hey @springsteen why don't you pen a little ditty about Mary gettin' pregnant and then getting choked by Sarin in Damas
— Ursus, Director of Weather and Banana Programming (@AceofSpadesHQ) September 5, 2013
.@springsteen's got a song comin' out about Johnny buyin' a '58 Cruise Missile and then soupin' it up real nice and also impregnating Mary
— Ursus, Director of Weather and Banana Programming (@AceofSpadesHQ) September 5, 2013
hey by the way @springsteen when are you going to star providing Johnny and Mary with affordable access to birth control? #WarOnWomen
— Ursus, Director of Weather and Banana Programming (@AceofSpadesHQ) September 5, 2013
seriously @springsteen, what the hell is going on with Mary that she gets knocked up at the sound of a motorcycle? is she a Tribble?
— Ursus, Director of Weather and Banana Programming (@AceofSpadesHQ) September 5, 2013
That’s actually a really good question.
.@springsteen: "yeah, i got to thinkin', & when I get to thinkin' I get to pluckin' my 6-string… here's my song, Tomahawk Thunder Machine"
— Ursus, Director of Weather and Banana Programming (@AceofSpadesHQ) September 5, 2013
Pure poetry. Other aspiring lyricists got in on the action, too:
@springsteen @AceofSpadesHQ Another one: "Screw feedin the kids at home, we gotta go blow up more, over there." With a latiny feel.
— Rev. Dr. E Buzz (@RevDrEBuzz) September 5, 2013
We'll bomb 'em all night. All night. Yeah, we'll bomb 'em all night for you. @springsteen @AceofSpadesHQ
— wiserbud (@WiserMeany) September 5, 2013

We hope Bruce is taking careful notes. Free can’t-miss advice is hard to come by! And maybe once the E-Street Band has rehearsed a few times, they can perform in public. We know the perfect place:
@AceofSpadesHQ Someone should really organize an anti-war rally and publicly invite these hypocrites

There’ll be plenty of room for a stage:
