It’s no secret that Kid Rock and Bruce Springsteen fall on opposite ends of the spectrum musically.
One was “Born to Run,” and one was “Born Free,” and although both of their mottos are about sticking it to “the man,” their “the man” happens to depend on whoever is leading the country from the White House.
For one, you have Kid Rock, who is as far-right, as conservative as it gets, and Springsteen, who is about as far-left liberal as possible (I think I’d rather see these guys get into a political debate instead of those actually running for office).
With that being said, a hilarious Twitter poll went viral earlier this year, and it’s as simple as this:
“Bruce Springsteen or Kid Rock”

Needless to say, Miss @AromaLady2 probably never envisioned the chaos, and crying and gnashing of teeth that would become of this simple question.
@AromaLady2 made her stance very clear in a follow up tweet:
“Putting politics aside, When I heard Bruce and his strained, almost in tune songs come on the radio… I changed the channel.”

Naturally, political warfare broke out across the Twitterverse, and boy was it a good time to kick back and eat some popcorn while watching this train wreck unfold.
Enjoy:
No one should ever be comparing the legendary Bruce Springsteen to the MAGA lunatic Kid Rock. Like, that’s just laughable and disrespectful.

Uninviting
Godless

Are people really comparing Bruce Springsteen and Kid Rock?
The Boss has sold over 150 million albums and is a legend. One of the all time greats.
Kid Rock is trash. Dude looks like he woke up in a trailer park after a night of drinking out of the toilet and eating cigarettes.

Saying Kid Rock makes better music than Bruce Springsteen is like saying a brick is a better cellphone than an iPhone.

Kid Rock is more talented than liberal Bruce Springsteen by a lot.

Kid Rock is the Ted Nugent of Vanilla Ices.
Bruce Springsteen is the Boss of Bosses.
Any questions?

It's all BS
Bruce Springsteen that is. His catalog is deep. I separate the music from the musician's views. If I didn't do that I wouldn't like elvis or led zeppelin, or elvis Costello, or….

Kid Rock. When Springsteen comes on the radio, I change the station. The same with Bon Jovi.

The Boss takes it. Springsteen is 3/4 of the way to an EGOT. He sold his music catalog for $500 million. The lyrics of his songs are part of the American lexicon. Even his guitar is iconic.
Kid Rock is to music what Fox is to news.

Kidd f-ing rock. I counted somewhere around the first 40 comments.!!! Bruce is no longer “the boss”

Do not insult Bruce Springsteen. Kid rock isn't worthy of the dust on Bruce's cowboy boots

It’s pretty sad that people have become so politically partisan that they’ll say Kid Rock is a better musician than Bruce Springsteen. I don’t care if Bruce was a flaming Trumper and Kid Dick was a Liberal. Bruce is still boss. Good God.

I can't believe we live in a time that I'm defending a douche in the night, but if you only know about Springsteen from Born in the USA on, then sit this out, because YOU know nothing about what you're talking about.
