It's April 21st. This is Entertainment and Celebrity News today, powered by AI, your front row to the latest buzz. I'm Cory with the story. A music critic from New Jersey Advanced Media lit into Bruce Springsteen's Tuesday night concert at the Prudential Center in Newark. Bobby Olivier called it a hypocritical mess, slamming the boss for charging sky-high ticket prices while pushing his anti-truck message to fans who already agree with him. Olivier argued, Springsteen's populous image as a champion for the working class doesn't match his reality as a touring businessman, raking in big. Bucks. He said preaching division and outrage at those exorbitant rates feels like just another cash grab, not real protest. Fans and even Nils Lofgren's wife from the E-Street Band fire back hard, labeling the review wildly off-base. They flooded Olivier's social media, defending Springsteen as authentic. Trump's camp has already dismissed the rocker's recent songs as irrelevant, and the president

once called him boring. No word yet from Springsteen's team on this latest drama. This take-down has folks debating if the boss's final tours are tarnishing his legacy, or just business as usual in rock.
