Image YouTube On the heels of liberal artist Bruce Springsteen’s TDS-laden political rants during his “Land of Hope and Dreams” tour earlier this year, two Rock and Roll Hall of Fame legends have spoken out against pushing political propaganda during shows. Rolling Stones frontman Mick Jagger said fans should be entertained, not lectured, while Journey’s iconic pianist/keyboardist and songwriter Jonathan Cain was more blunt, insisting “The Boss” needs to “shut up” and sing. In a New York Times podcast interview, Jagger was asked what his audience means to him. The question was disingenuous as the interviewer qualified it with an inaccurate description, claiming Springsteen “engages in in a meaningful back-and-forth with his audience.” We all know there’s no “back-and-forth” with the Born to Run singer when he’s ranting about politics. It’s strictly a one-sided, self-righteous lecture. Still, Jagger answered politely:Jagger: My job in the live music world is for those people that come to have the best time they possibly can and for two hours to forget all their problems and the problems of the world and their mortgages. I know you’re still on the phone like, “Oh, little Danny hurt his tooth.” In the old days, you never had that, really. But my job is to make them have the best time possible. They’re going completely ape-[expletive]. Your job is to make them more ape-[expletive]. The 82-year-old Beast of Burden singer also compared concerts to sporting events where he said fans should be able to forget about everything else. “You don’t want to lecture them,” he said.Cain’s comments were far more impassioned. He shared his thoughts on The Tom Barnard Podcast back in May, but they recently went viral after Variety covered it in a July article. (Not surprisingly, the piece was clearly slanted against Cain.)Known for his iconic piano/keyboard bangers in hit songs like Don’t Stop Believin’, Cain is also a Catholic conservative who is married to Paula White-Cain, senior advisor to the White House Faith Office. During the interview, the 76-year-old artist spoke about America and politics while calling Springsteen, “an annoying, bitter, old man.”Jonathan: …we are blessed to live where we live, and I'm obviously a conservative and I used to be a Democrat back in the old days, but I just couldn't I couldn't go there anymore. I thought Obama, maybe, but then I saw where he was going and I'm like, “Okay, we can't have this anymore.” So. I'm a diehard conservative, and I try to…Kathryn: You’re a unicorn in the music industry.Jonathan: Yeah, that's right, and guys like Bruce Springsteen should shut up. You know, honestly shut up, Bruce. You know him and who's the other one…Kathryn: It keeps him relevant.Jonathan: Yeah. Robert De Niro. I mean who cares, guys? You know, really?Andy: Yep.Jonathan: Do your art. I try to keep politics out of my music. Now I'm releasing this patriotic song because I'm a diehard patriot like Kid Rock who's my friend. We're a couple of patriots so, we don't care about (inaudible) America because we love our flag, and we love our nation, and we grew up that way. So, everybody has their…(connection lost)Kathryn: Oh, that was weird. Andy: I think the Deep State got him,,,Jonathan: So, what was I saying? I think in the end we should do what we do and try to unify. I think our job is unifying people. I mean Paul McCartney said, “Hey, when I sing Hey Jude, Democrats and Republicans all sing together,” and I feel the same way with Journey. And we have our parties out there in the audience, your respective parties, and they're singing Don't Stop Believin’… Kathryn: It’s a great song.Jonathan: So, now people say, “Well you're a Christian and you're conservative,” and I'm like, “So what?” I don't preach it on stage. I don't spend 10 minutes talking about it. That's who I am and that's okay.Kathryn: That is okay.Jonathan: I just don't think it's cool to have celebrities you know going there. It’s just a bad look.Andy: Totally agree.Jonathan: And Bruce, I mean what the heck? I used to like him, and now he's just annoying. He's an annoying, bitter old man. I mean stop it, really. You were born in the USA, weren't you dude? So, act like it. But even that song, if you look at the lyrics, it’s a kind of a diss to  our country. Kathryn: It is, yeah.Jonathan: Yeah, me and Kid Rock, we're probably on an island. There's a few of us and I probably I stand there with my flag on that island, and if anybody's got a problem with me, America, and Jesus, then bring it. Tom Barnard seemed a bit annoyed by his comments, but we’re happy to see celebrities who aren’t afraid to show pride in their country and who push back against turning concerts into Democrat rallies. Is it too much to hope that someone might speak out against our tax dollars being used to glorify liberal activists like Springsteen in a PBS documentary next?
