"Bruce Springsteen has insisted that he will never be a conformist. The outspoken singer discusses his approach to writing political songs in a new interview with Jon Stewart for Rolling Stone. Springsteen explained that criticism of politicians and bankers on his new album We Take Care of Our Own is a continuation of the philosophy he&amp;#039;s advanced for over 30 years on albums like Nebraska and The Ghost of Tom Joad. &amp;quot;Lately, it seems as if the polarization of the country has gotten so extreme that people want to force you into being either a phony &amp;#039;patriot&amp;#039; or an apologist,&amp;quot; he explained to Stewart. &amp;quot;Nuanced political dialogue or creative expression seems like it&amp;#039;s been hamstrung by the decay of political speech and it&amp;#039;s infantilized our national discourse.&amp;quot; Springsteen added: &amp;quot;I can&amp;#039;t go for that and I won&amp;#039;t write that way!&amp;quot; The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductee previously suggested that Wrecking Ball is &amp;quot;as direct a record as [he&amp;#039;s] ever made&amp;quot;. Springsteen and the E Street Band are currently in the midst of their first North American tour in three years. &amp;gt; Bruce Springsteen covers LMFAO&amp;#039;s &amp;#039;Sexy And I Know It&amp;#039; - watch video &amp;gt; Lady GaGa on Bruce Springsteen album: &amp;quot;It is so genius&amp;quot; Watch Bruce Springsteen &amp;amp; The E Street Band perform &amp;#039;Death To My Hometown&amp;#039; below:      "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
