He quoted Bruce Springsteen saying, “no one ever paid to hear me talk,” referring to celebrity efforts to influence the voting behavior of young people. But Jehmu Greene, president of Rock the Vote, noted that the work of celebrities such as Springsteen or Diddy (who led the “Vote or Die” campaign) led to a historic turnout of young voters.
