Called for induction when he was 18, Springsteen failed his physical examination and did not serve in Vietnam. In an interview in Rolling Stone magazine in 1984, he said, "When I got on the bus to go take my physical, I thought one thing: I ain't goin'." He had suffered a concussion in a motorcycle accident when he was 17, and this together with his "crazy" behaviour at induction and not taking the tests, was enough to get him a 4F

 

Get your fact right before posting :thumbs:

 

Eh? If this is aimed at me...What facts do I need to get right?

 

I said he was drafted he attended and failed his medical

 

You said (or should I say Wikipidia says) he was Inducted (drafted), he attended and got a 4F (failed)

 

I couldn't give a flying f**k if he failed it on purpose what a complete and pointless war all those brave young men killed for USA's paronid fear of communism. How do you think he felt when his close friend and drummer from his 1st band was drafted the year before and KIA, see if it's on Wikipidia?

 

If you don't like his music fine not to everyone's taste, but the OP was about if anyone seen him tour
