#1 Darkness on the Edge of Town is and always will be one of my favorite LPs, but I'll be damned if I ever give the man another red cent of royalty money.

(Fortunately, the LP was paid for 30 years ago, and repeat plays don't cost me anything.)

#2 Some fans were critical because Springsteen has been a longtime supporter of worker's rights, and Wal-Mart has faced criticism for its labor practices.

You mean like giving employees healthcare benefits they'd never see otherwise for their skill levels and community standards of living? The only employee issue is that the ever destructive unions have failed to get their cut of the take of the workers' salary.

#3 who cares - this guy is one of the most over rated chumps in music history. Going through the Woody Guthrie phase for the past 15 yrs like Dylan. Boring.

#4 Making a deal with WalMart will pale in comparison to his making the deal with the ~~Devil~~Obama. Not only is the country less safe, but Obama is hell-bent on not only emulating FDR but the Depression as well. The only thing that's going to be "Rising" is inflation.
