The Republican governor of Minnesota is upset with Bruce Springsteen:

Republican Gov. Tim Pawlenty said he's "heartbroken" that Bruce Springsteen plans to rock against President Bush. Opening his weekly radio show Friday with "Born to Run," the 43-year-old Pawlenty called Springsteen one of his musical idols.

"I really appreciate his music, but I wish he wouldn't interject his music with politics," said Pawlenty, co-chairman of Bush's re-election campaign in Minnesota. (emphasis mine)

Let's just say that anyone familiar with the Boss's music just slapped their forehead right about now. I'm worried that Alterman's head will explode when he hears about this. Anyway...
