Let’s see how it goes when Springsteen comes back? Let’s see how it goes if they try. If the current “administration” thinks they’ve seen a few protests, they haven’t seen anything yet. These kinds of threats will bring up the 3.5% and then some.
Don't be distracted… Trump attacks celebrities to distract us from other actions: the House advancing its bill to gut Medicare, the downgrading of the US economy, stopping enforcing many health and safety laws. Keep calling Congress and spend less time scrolling.
Someone else suggested a free concert in DC on the same day as the military parade.
Springsteen and Swift to headline the concert. Cool idea. How do we get others involved as well? How about an American version of Live Aid, but dedicated to saving democracy in the USA? Invite every musician out there to do one song.
Long live BS, The Boss. Since 1975 his music has been a revelation. Down the rabbit hole of eternal memories of youth when his music surrounds me. Truth teller. His take on the corrupt American politicians is 100%. Long live Bruce S.
Love your posts and all the “elbows up” would you PLEASE come up with the messaging for the Democrats?
5 months and they don’t have it. Canada did it overnight.
BTW “over the Jersey state line” vs across. 🤓 Still my favorite song (along with M Etheridge’s Talkin’ to My Angel”). Spent the summer of 1977 with my best friend learning every word to the full Born to Run album.
Bruce Springsteen hasn't been quite about djt during the election he was doing public statements to not support djt and didn't pull any punches. Now he still is speaking out. Telling the truth about djt and his regime. Bruce Springsteen will not be intimidated and will continue to tell the truth.
Unlike djt who only tells LIES and is the most poorest excuse of a human being that ever drew a breath. He will be gone but history will not remember him well.
This is a time for Courage and everyone needs to speak the truth.
Like you, I was a young thing the first time I saw Bruce: It was 1978, I was 21, living in San Francisco, and saw him at the Fillmore West. There was no opening band, and Bruce was so eager to hit the stage that he started the show 5 minutes early! And played for more than three hours, as he is known to do. Ah, life!
Thank you for your honest take on this.
And fuck you for reminding me that music can hit me physically, intellectually, and emotionally all at once.
Reading and remembering the power of those lyrics brought a year to my eyes, made the hairs on my arms stand up, and made me think. All at once.
To warp another famous quote, The music is the message.
As long as even a single musician speaks out. As long as our voices are heard. From a punk act playing to tens of fans, to the Boss, to Yo Yo Ma.
We are legion.
Frank Zappa never lived to see MAGA. In 1977, Frank ripped the Roger Ramjet mask off America, 40 years before Trump ripped it off again.
I am gross and perverted
I'm obsessed and deranged
I have existed for years
But very little has changed
I'm the tool of the Government
And industry too
For I am destined to rule
And regulate you
I may be vile and pernicious
But you can't look away
I make you think I'm delicious
With the stuff that I say
I'm the best you can get
Have you guessed me yet?
I'm the slime oozin' out
From your TV set
You will obey me while I lead you
And eat the garbage that I feed you
Until the day that we don't need you
Don't go for help, no one will heed you
Your mind is totally controlled
It has been stuffed into my mold
And you will do as you are told
Until the rights to you are sold
That's right, folks
Don't touch that dial
Well, I am the slime from your video
Oozin' along on your livin' room floor
I am the slime from your video
Can't stop the slime, people, look at me go
I am the slime from your video
Oozin' along on your livin' room floor
I am the slime from your video
Can't stop the slime, people, look at me go
Bruce is the Boss. Dirty Rump is the Dick - tator…
Charlie, democracy WILL prevail.
trump is washed up
America knows it
the world knows it.
what's sad IMO, IS... , why is this allowed to have happened this long and why is, not only the American ppl allowed it... the world around us.
these are rhetorical questions for the obvious reason of..... history repeating itself
I'm no scholar in anything
I'm not politician
wtf is wrong with people!!!
Bless those who lead. We need each and every aspect of humanity to step forward, call out injustice and drown out hate.

My take on this is a little different. Bruce & Trump deserve each other.

Well said and well sung, Charlie :)🎶

Charlie, this was a truly poetic post. Thank you.
