The Boss Makes a "Mistake"

Bruce Springsteen admitted that he made a mistake when he contracted with Wal-Mart to sell exclusively a greatest hits album. Right. He notes that fans have "called" him on it, because he is supposedly the spokesman for the workers of America. And, of course, Wal_mart is the symbol of worker oppressor.
Yeah, I'm not buying it (or the new album). I am supposed to think that Bruce Springsteen, with all his advisors and consultants and his own moral compass never thought about the reputation of Wal-mart prior to the deal? I love Wal-Mart and the hypocrisy of this "admission" is incredible. 'I want to make money from Wal-Mart. Then if anyone "calls" me on it, I will say it was a mistake.' That allows him to make his zillions of dollars (whoops... his money probably shouldn't be mentioned - takes away from his 'working man' persona) AND 'call out' Wal-Mart too.
Good capitalist thinking Bruce!
