@GooseKillerinAU @consequence Love to see people with self awareness about the life they refuse to acknowledge in public.

Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band kicked off their "Land of Hope and Dreams US Tour" in Minneapolis on Tuesday night. "We are here in celebration and defense of our American ideals, our democracy, our Constitution, and our sacred American promise," Springsteen declared in a fiery speech before the show's opening performance. "I want to begin tonight with a prayer for our men and women in service overseas. We pray for their safe return. "The mighty E Street Band is here tonight to call upon the righteous power of art, of music, of rock and roll in dangerous times. We are here in celebration and defense of our American ideals, our democracy, our Constitution, and our sacred American promise. The America I love, the America I've written about for 50 years that's been a beacon of hope, of liberty around the world, is currently in the hands of a corrupt, incompetent, racist, reckless, and treasonous administration. "Tonight, we ask all of you to join with us in choosing hope over fear, democracy over authoritarianism, the rule of law over lawlessness, ethics over unbridled corruption, resistance over complacency, unity over division, and peace over war." 📸: Kara Gerke

@MetsGiantsGuy @consequence Hahaha the guy who defines himself by two perpetually losing franchises because it reflects his life is angry that his hero is killing American soldiers in a disastrous war so he hates rock and roll. 😅

@FumbleNutts @CoVet_81 @BredsguardDalen You think he was going to appear on a metal/hard rock show? How ridiculous can a comment get?

@KCapo45 @CoVet_81 @BredsguardDalen Huh🤔

Not sure what happened to old Bruce, but from the sound of this, it might be time for him to hang it up. When I was stationed in Stuttgart, Germany, I saw him in Munich back in ’84, and he was amazing, but this is a far cry from what he used to be. Not about politics, just remembering the Bruce I saw back in the day. Hard to watch, honestly. I’d rather remember him at his best, not what he’s become today. 😔

@Anntwroski @CoVet_81 @Maga4liberty You never cared for him? The world will never be the same. People with delusional opinions are always fun to read. So funny to see old, out of touch people complaining about music

@CoVet_81 @Maga4liberty I never cared for him back in the day either. I thought he sucked then. Way too many were better. Only those from Jersey liked him.

@FumbleNutts @CoVet_81 @BredsguardDalen Monsters of Rock? 😅 tell people you know nothing about rock music without saying it.

@CoVet_81 @BredsguardDalen I was stationed near Pattonville in the early 80's. Think he was in Munich in '85. He never did the Monsters of Rock in 83 or 84. There was something always off about him. He'd jump on doing dates in Berlin.

@JayLundgre88629 @CoVet_81 MAGA white guy complaining about rock and roll never gets old for a laugh. These limp old white men who support a diaper wearing grandpa are so out of touch that they hate rock music and listen to Lara Trump.

@CoVet_81 It is mostly about his politics. If he didn’t sing this dumb shit, nobody would notice. He turned into an America hating scumbag.

@NJShore55 @CoVet_81 Poor guy here got old and deaf and ends up taking out his frustration at being a dinosaur on a man in peak condition and still playing 3 hours to millions of people. Sad

@CoVet_81 Some artists can perform into their 80s. Mick Jagger, Judy Collins and Graham Nash come to mind. And then there is Bruce. When I saw him on Broadway, he disappointed. And it appears he is going downhill quickly.

@ChaysonJayson No doubt. All of Nebraska is about the American dream fading away during the early part of the Reagan era and Ghost is about the promise of the American west closing down and the vanishing frontier . His entire canon is against greed.

@KCapo45 Mansion On The Hill, right?

Some say #Springsteen has lost the plot. But, I'm telling you this is the same cat I saw 46 years ago in Ann Arbor and too many times since to count. He hasn't changed. Maybe you have? #TheBoss

@TruthT3ll3r2025 @GrannySnakebite @Mappy6984 @Amossv8n You can’t discuss Marx without talking about economics. Are you talking about Groucho?

@KCapo45 @GrannySnakebite @Mappy6984 @Amossv8n You are literally the only one here talking about economic theory.

People are miserable as hell

@TruthT3ll3r2025 @GrannySnakebite @Mappy6984 @Amossv8n Exactly—it’s a nebulous term that doesn’t mean anything but it hints at communism. Envy is in the Bible. You spent too long in Catholic school and not enough time in economics

@KCapo45 @GrannySnakebite @Mappy6984 @Amossv8n Marxism isn’t an economic theory, it’s a theoretical framework.

@zeezdeli @SpringNuts_ @springsteen Time your Metamucil

@SpringNuts_ @springsteen Jeez might be time to hang it up sounds like bad karaoke

LAND OF HOPE AND DREAMS TOUR OPENER IN MINNEAPOLIS WAR INTO BORN IN THE USA @springsteen #Springsteen #estreetband

@Explorer5311 @SpringNuts_ @springsteen Second song

@SpringNuts_ @springsteen Is “Not born in the USA” on his setlist?

@X_conserv @SpringNuts_ @springsteen Another guy who is too old to stay up past 9 for the show and whines

@SpringNuts_ @springsteen Is he donating any of the proceeds of this tour to any of the si called injustices he speaks about? Complete fucking fraud.

@DorLinder @CynicalPublius You got old and reactionary. He didn’t change. Look in the mirror at while you vote for billionaire tax cuts and racists policies

This is so true. I grew up in Paterson and I have seen Bruce in concert six times. In fact, one of my teachers gave me a pass out of class so I could wait on the phone with a credit card to get tickets. I pressed hang up and redial until I got a ticket agent. I will never see Bruce again. He betrayed us all. He is an elitist, globalist, Commie.

I grew up in Bruce Springsteen's hometown. His song "My Hometown" is LITERALLY about my hometown. Springsteen’s music was the anthem of my teenage years. The town is called Freehold, New Jersey. A. & M. Karagheusian, Inc. was a giant carpet mill in Freehold that was once the town’s single biggest employer. It shut down and moved away in 1964. That act of taking away a town’s jobs to move them to where labor was vastly cheaper DEVASTATED that community. Freehold became impoverished and almost a ghost town, taking decades to recover. All of the themes in Bruce’s early work about the indignities heaped upon the working man stem directly from the pain he, his family and his neighbors experienced when that carpet mill moved away to chase cheaper labor costs elsewhere. The theme of the betrayed working man streams across all of his early albums with a heartfelt sincerity that was borne of painful experience. The albums “Darkness on the Edge of Town,” “The River,” and “Nebraska” in particular resonate with the mournful howls of the betrayed laborer whose calloused hands meant nothing to the bosses who had thanklessly reaped the rewards of his pain and sweat. Early on, Bruce really and truly did speak for the working man. But somewhere in Hollywood he lost his way. Now, it’s 2026 and the singular domestic agenda of President Donald J. Trump is to bring back American manufacturing jobs from offshore and to restore the dignity, pride and wealth of the working everyman. And Bruce SPITS ON THAT to appeal to his Hollywood cronies. When you understand this background about Bruce, his behavior comes into sharp focus as perhaps the very most disgusting behavior of any pop star alive in America today. He has betrayed the everyman he once championed. SHAME ON YOU BRUCE SPRINGSTEEN. The young man who once wrote these lyrics would find you disgusting: "Early in the morning, factory whistle blows Man rises from bed and puts on his clothes Man takes his lunch, walks out in the morning light It's the working, the working, just the working life Through the mansions of fear, through the mansions of pain I see my daddy walking through them factory gates in the rain Factory takes his hearing, factory gives him life The working, the working, just the working life End of the day, factory whistle cries Men walk through these gates with death in their eyes And you just better believe, boy, somebody's gonna get hurt tonight It's the working, the working, just the working life 'Cause it's the working, the working, just the working life"

@DoraDuRoi @DavidD_Chapman Kind of like a MAGA mom

@DavidD_Chapman Bruce now looks like a transitioning Ellen

I am glad I saw Bruce Springsteen in concert before Trump was ever President. Before he got TDS. When I saw him live in 2015, he never mentioned Politics during the show. Bruce was always political but now he is intolerable. I'd never see in live now.

@DavidD_Chapman Funny that this guy doesn’t even know about the No Nukes shows, 41 Shots, definitely didn’t see the Ghost of Tom Joad and Devils and Dust tours which were directly about immigration and immigrants. Embarrassing

@TruthT3ll3r2025 @GrannySnakebite @Mappy6984 @Amossv8n He was obviously MAGA. Not sure where you learned economic theory but envy is not a core tenet of any economic system

@KCapo45 @GrannySnakebite @Mappy6984 @Amossv8n Do you deny that Marxism is based in envy? Or that Joel was envious of this dudes car?

@TruthT3ll3r2025 @GrannySnakebite @Mappy6984 @Amossv8n A very good example of someone who doesn’t know a damn thing about economic theory or Marxism. Not every opponent of MAGA lunacy is a Marxist

@KCapo45 @GrannySnakebite @Mappy6984 @Amossv8n Well Marxism is based in envy, and Joel was clearly envious

@Cashloren @WrongthinkUSA The issue is hypocrisy! She has demonized the LGBTQ community. All MAGA condemns others for doing what they are doing.

@WrongthinkUSA Exactly my point

If Kristi Noem were a Democrat, the same people who are trying to destroy her career right now wouldn't care less about her husband crossdressing. This is about power. The Democrats' power, and nothing else.
