O boicote

«Bruce Springsteen is doing a concert tour to dump President Bush. What's new? Springsteen criticized Reagan, bashed the New York police and said Bush should be impeached. He thinks making millions with a song-and-dance routine allows him to tell you how to vote. Here's my vote: Boycott the Boss. If you don't buy his politics, don't buy his music.»
Estas palavras pertencem a Marilyn O'Grady, candidata pela American Conservative Union (um lobby conservador norte-americano) ao Senado de Nova Iorque e têm sido divulgadas num spot televisivo com a designação "Boycott the Boss". Tudo isto porque Springsteen integra a digressão "Vote for Change", cujos objectivos visam alertar os votantes indecisos para a necessidade de acabar com a linhagem Bush na presidência dos EUA. Outros artistas, como R.E.M., Pearl Jam, Dave Matthews Band, Dixie Chicks, John Mellencamp, Kenny "Babyface" Edmonds, Jackson Browne, Bonnie Raitt, Keb' Mo', Jurassic 5, My Morning Jacket, James Taylor, John Fogerty, Bright Eyes e Death Cab for Cutie incluem o lote.
