I'm All About Bruce

Forbes reports Bruce Springsteen is a billionaire. Who receives the royalties from this new song? Neil Young (net $200million) miserly gave Greenland residents one year's subscription to his catalog.
Is heaping up riches the best use of Bruce's remaining time? I keep reading a little story that Robin Williams left his devoted longtime housekeeper $50 million dollars, after paying her triple and sending her three children through college. We observe the self-serving behavior of Virginia Foxx and wonder if Bruce might support candidates like Kyah Creedmore.
PS- I'm a poet and I think "Streets if Minneapolis" is a lazy effort. It reminded me of the time Graham Nash owed his drug dealer and wrote "Just A Song Before I Go" (derived from "sing a song of sixpence") to cover the debt.
J.W. Williamson was the founding editor in 1972 of the Appalachian Journal: A Regional Studies Review, which he edited until July of 2000. He has taught college classes in Appalachian history, cultural politics, and literature, and he has lectured widely on the pop-culture history of "Appalachia" in the American consciousness. His books include Interviewing Appalachia, Southern Mountaineers in Silent Films, and Hillbillyland: What the Mountains Did to the Movies and What the Movies Did to the Mountains. He has won the Thomas Wolfe Award given by the Western North Carolina Historical Society, the Laurel Leaves Award given by the Appalachian Consortium, a special Weatherford Award given by Berea College, and the Cratis Williams-James Brown Award given by the Appalachian Studies Association.
The views expressed on WataugaWatch are solely those of J.W. Williamson or individual contributors and are not necessarily shared nor endorsed by the Watauga County Democratic Party nor by any other adults of sound mind in this or any other universe.

I would expect that Mr. Springsteen gets to profit from his labor.

I don't counsel, nor do I know how Mr. Springsteen use's his time nor how how chooses to spend his income.
