Call to 'Boycott the Boss'

Albany, New York

August 17, 2004 - 10:17AM



Upset with Bruce Springsteen's effort to oust President George Bush from the White House, the New York Conservative Party's candidate for the US Senate is launching a "Boycott the Boss" television commercial.

"He thinks making millions with a song-and-dance routine allows him to tell you how to vote," Marilyn O'Grady says in the 30-second spot.

"Here's my vote: Boycott the Boss. If you don't buy his politics, don't buy his music."

In a statement, O'Grady said Springsteen "has a right to say what he thinks, but we have an equal right to speak. Now that he's moved onto the political stage to bash my president, it is entirely fair to respond".

Springsteen was among more than 20 prominent musicians who announced on August 4 that they would hold a series of anti-Bush fundraising concerts under the "Vote for Change" banner in 28 cities in October.

"I feel this is one of the most critical elections in my lifetime," Springsteen said.

Springsteen's No Surrender has become an anthem for Democratic Senator John Kerry's presidential campaign.


O'Grady spokesman Howard Lim would not say how much the Long Island ophthalmologist's campaign was spending on the commercial, in which she says, "I stand with President Bush and it's time to tame the liberal elite".

A Springsteen publicist said today that the singer did not plan to comment about the ad.
