Bruce Springsteen Charged With DUI

Bruce Springsteen has been charged with driving under the influence after an incident on 14 November 2020 has surfaced.

Springsteen’s drunk driving charge took place at Gateway National Recreation Area. The rock legend was also charged with reckless driving and consuming alcohol in a closed area.

The charges only came to light after Springsteen starred in a Super Bowl commercial spruiking Jeep earlier this week. Jeep have now withdrawn the advertisement.

The ad fuelled a lot of criticism for Bruce who had never endorsed a product prior to the Jeep campaign. To justify selling out to the car company, Springsteen’s people spun a tarn about Bruce wanting to unify America through the message in the commercial.

Its interesting Springsteen prior unifying messages came from the lyrics of his songs, not from a multi-million marketing campaign for a public company selling a commercial product.

Springsteen lives near the park where he was charged in Colts Neck, New Jersey. He will face court on the charges in coming weeks.
