Keyboardist Jonathan Cain of Journey publicly criticized fellow musician Bruce Springsteen, calling him an “annoying, bitter old man” and suggesting he remain silent. Cain expressed his views during a podcast interview, citing disagreement with Springsteen's outspokenness.
Cain, 76, believes that rockers should refrain from discussing politics on stage but continues to express his conservative beliefs in interviews. He specifically targeted Springsteen, also age 76, stating, “Shut up, Bruce… You were born in the USA, so act like it.” The source does not detail what specific political views prompted Cain’s comments.
The keyboardist's remarks appear to stem from a broader frustration with public figures voicing their opinions. While the exact context of Springsteen’s statements that provoked Cain remains unclear, the musician clearly feels strongly about keeping personal politics separate from performance.
