Bruce Springsteen announced on May 14 from Manchester, England that I love America, the United States I love America, I write about America has always been a beacon of hope and freedom, currently in the hands of corruption, ineffectiveness and treason. "You have been real for 50 years, no matter its shortcomings, are a great country and we will survive in this moment."
As discussed in the latest episode Rolling Stone Music NowSpringsteen’s multiple speeches on the stage, which read Bob Dylan’s “Where to Hope and Dreams” (“Where to Hope and Dreams”, “The Bell of Freedom”) is a masterclass in opposition messaging. He insists that the existence of another better country in the country should be illuminating for many struggling Democrats, especially considering how much his words have caught Donald Trump’s attention.

Two days after Springsteen spoke, Trump achieved socialization, calling his critics “a pruning of rockers”, his “skin is all shrinking” and warning him to “shut up until he returns to the country” and with the ominous appendix, then we all will see how it goes for him! "The threat escalated at 1:34 a.m. on May 19, the night before he planned to call Vladimir Putin, "Kamala Harris paid Bruce Bruce Springsteen to perform poorly during his presidential campaign?" "He wrote. "I will request a major investigation into the matter. ”
Trump also requests investigations on Taylor Swift, Beyoncé, Oprah Winfrey and somehow - Rolling stonesAndy Greene notes in the new episode that “no role is played in the election.” As discussed in the plot, Trump goes backwards: campaigns are actually needed to pay fair market value to pay for production costs to avoid undisclosed donations. (when Scrolling stone asked the White House about the unfounded threat this week, and the spokesman shot backwards: "The responsibility for a person who acts, the responsibility for himself belongs to the law, which may be uncomfortable Rolling stonesbut it is refreshing for the American people. ”)
Of course, it wasn't just Springsteen's eloquent framework for the opposition, which angered Trump because he was in the framework of Swift, Beyoncé and Winfrey, who was a creature of fame and entertainment, who was very sensitive to celebrity power. He won two elections but still faced the annoying reality that pop culture is far from reaching full-blown magazines.
The episode also ponders why musicians have been relatively quiet about the Trump administration since January, suggesting a combination of the atmosphere of fear, a 2017-style feeling of a failure in resistance to messaging, while criticizing left-wing Democrats for criticizing Democrats are still socially acceptable. Still, artists including Neil Young and Eddie Vedder still support Springsteen’s remarks, and MJ Lenderman clearly covers “darkness on the edge of town,” which is clearly unity.
