Stars Come Out to Honor Decrepit Communist

Naturally, the modern-day man of the people, Bruce Springsteen, was on hand to laud this old maggot.

Last night, at the Pete Seeger birthday bash at Madison Square Garden, Bruce Springsteen described the 90-year-old legend best, telling the sold-out house, "Behind his grandfatherly facade lies stubborn, nasty, defiant optimism."

The Boss, who was the unofficial headliner for the all-star musical tribute that featured more than 50 acts, added a personal note to Seeger, saying, "Pete, you outlasted the bastards."

I guess "the bastards" are people who are opposed to Communism.

Naturally, Springsteen made it all about himself.

Certainly, the show itself had a more contemporary, and far more optimistic, tone than it would have had the recent election turned out differently. Many stars evoked the hope of President Obama, including Springsteen, who gave a long and rousing speech at the end recounting his trip to the inauguration with the birthday boy.

Yawn.

These people are so tedious.
