A local union says promoters picked the wrong arena for Bruce Springsteen to perform the pro-labor music of folk singer Pete Seeger.A truly great moment in limousine liberalism.Springsteen wants consumers to pay higher costs as long as it doesn't apply to him.
The decision to hold the concert Wednesday at the non-unionized Bradley Center was "bafflingly ironic and somewhat infuriating," said Paul Friday, who coordinates the Milwaukee chapter of a union of musicians, actors and stage hands.
"We're not really protesting," he said. "We just want people to know Springsteen's taking the music of a very pro-union campaign into a venue like that."
