The so-called “Boss”, “regular-guy” of blue-collar Americana rock and roll, Bruce Springsteen, took to the stage in Britain to air his grievances about Trump a few nights ago.
The man who collects a couple of hundred bucks for someone to park their butt in a seat and listen to him also thought his insufferable rants in the UK.
Of course, Rolling Stone thinks it’s awesome. And, again, we are not shocked considering Springsteen performed for the Kamala Campaign. Here we go:
In my home, the America I love, the America I’ve written about, that has been a beacon of hope and liberty for 250 years, is currently in the hands of a corrupt, incompetent and treasonous administration. Tonight, we ask all who believe in democracy and the best of our American experience to rise with us, raise your voices against authoritarianism and let freedom ring.”-Bruce Springsteen
And, there he stands…Bruce Springsteen-with his guitar, single-handledly trying to save democracy one riff at a time from “the hands of a corrupt, incompetent and treasonous administration”. The guy is so off-the-charts clueless that he has no realization of the simple fact that he literally stood up on stage months before and endorsed the continuance of a corrupt, incompetent and treasonous administration. But wait! There’s more!
The last check on power after the checks and balances of the government have failed are the people-you and me. It’s in the union of people, around a common set of values, now that’s all that stands between Democracy and Authoritarianism…so at the end of the day, all we’ve really got is each other.”-Bruce Springsteen
There he goes with the democracy and authoritarianism again. A common set of values? Not sure which “values” are in his “common set” but, honestly, tampons in boys’ bathrooms and feeding into the delusion that girls (who think they are boys) should use the boy’s bathroom when they are menstruating (a uniquely female trait last I checked) and boys (who think they are girls) can shove them somewhere does not line up with a “common set of values”. Oh where, oh where, is Kamala Harris and her Venn diagrams when we need her?
Guitar riff, please-hold the band…
There’s some very weird, strange, and dangerous shit goin’ on out there right now. In America, they are persecuting people for using their right to free speech and voicing their dissent. This is happening now. In America, the richest men are taking satisfaction and abandoning the world’s poorest children to sickness and death. This is happening now. In my country, they are taking sadistic pleasure in the pain that they inflict on loyal American workers. They’re rolling back historic civil rights legislation that led to a more just and moral society. They’re abandoning our great allies and siding with dictators against those struggling for their freedom. They’re defunding American universities that won’t bow down to their ideological demand. They’re removing residents off of American streets and without due process of law, are deporting them to foreign detention centers and prisons. This is all happening now. A majority of our elected representatives have failed to protect the American people from the abuses of an unfit president and a rogue government.They have no concern or idea of what it means to be deeply American.The America that I’ve sung to you about for 50 years is real and regardless of its faults, is a great country with great people, so we’ll survive this moment.”-Bruce Springsteen
So much on The Boss’ old tour bus/private jet to the EU to unpack here.
Dirty sock without a mate #1: Springsteen stands on stage to tell fans in the UK about the “strange shit” goin’ on in America. Remember when people in 2021 dissented in the name of medical freedom and got fired from their jobs? Of course, you wouldn’t Bruce. You had enough cashflow to “survive the moment”. And, excuse me? Inflicting pain on loyal American workers? Where was he when loyal, hard-working Americans lost their businesses because they were forced to shut down? Got it. He was locked down and distancing for “the greater good”.
Bruce’s Sh#t-Stained Tighty-Whities #2: And the historic civil rights legislation for a “just and moral society”? Really, man? I do not call a GUY with a PENIS walking into MY bathroom to use a toilet when HE should be using a urinal and taking the title of “Mother” when HE did not 1) carry a child in utero, 2) labor or bear a c-section scar for that child and 3) produce breastmilk to feed that child as “just” or “moral” but please, go on with your tone-deaf missive.
The old man nose-and-ear trimmer #3: Here’s a few clue for the brainwashed Bruce: China is and will never be a “great ally”. They were to the Biden family. AMERICAN Universities supplemented by AMERICAN taxpayers should NOT be funded to harass, intimidate other Americans or spread anti-American hate speech. And, Tren de Aragua and MS-13 gang members are NOT residents. They are CRIMINALS. But we cannot expect the elite rockstar, Bruce Springsteen, strumming away on his guitar and waxing poetic, to understand this.
Thankfully, Neil Young comes to the rescue to rip Trump a new one and side with his bud, The “Boss”:
Bruce and thousands of musicians think you are ruining America. You worry about that instead of the dyin’ kids in Gaza.That’s your problem. I am not scared of you. Neither are the rest of us. You shut down FEMA when we needed it most. That’s your problem Trump. STOP THINKING ABOUT WHAT ROCKERS ARE SAYING. Think about saving America from the mess you made. Taylor Swift is right. So is Bruce. You know how I feel.”-Neil Young
Dyin’ kids in Gaza? What about those Israeli children, Neil? Young says the president works for us. What says Trump?
I see that Highly Overrated Bruce Springsteen goes to a Foreign Country to speak badly about the President of the United States. Never liked him, never liked his music, or his Radical Left Politics and, importantly, he’s not a talented guy — Just a pushy, obnoxious JERK, who fervently supported Crooked Joe Biden, a mentally incompetent FOOL, and our WORST EVER President, who came close to destroying our Country.”-Donald Trump
And now, BONUS. Fans can buy the EP peppered with Bruce’s anti-American rants. Damn you, CAPITALISM!
Trump is right. He is overrated. And, he sounds constipated when he sings. Maybe he was Born to Run. For a border. Any border. Maybe Gaza will welcome Springsteen and Young with open arms. Excuse me while I offer up Bruce Springsteen a huge helping of a New Jersey Go F— Yourself.
