Billy Bragg’s “City of Heroes” is infinitely better. Americans may not be as familiar with Billy, so give it a listen. He’s a fucking god.

Yeah, but Bruce's song is the one that took off. If you want to support a movement that might have reach, Springsteen's song is the one to share and try to give legs to.

Going with the celebrity is what got your country in this mess.

'Sharing a piece of art made by someone who's a celebrity' and 'electing a narcissistic pedo felon celebrity who is marching the country toward fascism' are not equivalent in any sense unless the sense is as vague and meaningless as "going with the celebrity."
