Are we seriously going to keep clinging to these narrow-minded views that everyone from there is trash? At the end of the day, we're all just people, and as humans, we're all on the same level—religion and nationality are just things meant to drive us apart.
It's not just those two—even Aretha Franklin feels that way. I don't see the issue; everyone's entitled to their own opinion.
Personally, I respect the ones who actually stick to their guns more than the folks who were singing Joe and Bobby back in the 90s and are suddenly pretending to be super liberal now...
Madonna is basically the ultimate opportunist, though. She sang for Franjo Harmon, she did Eminem, she was even like Elvis Presley once—and look where she ended up. She’s not the only one, either. There have been plenty of artists like Celine Dion who sang for the Soviet Union first and then switched over to America. We've always had plenty of those types around.
Both Bruce Springsteen and Frank Sinatra are true gentlemen and real artists—I doubt anyone has any reason to hold anything against them. Personally, I don't think they hate anyone; they're just staying principled... and I've got nothing but respect for that.
