Bruce Springsteen Releases Protest Single
Bruce Springsteen has dropped a new independent protest track titled “Streets of Minneapolis,” which takes a strong stance against the tactics employed by Immigration and Customs Enforcement as well as the Trump administration’s immigration policies.
In this song, he denounces what he describes as “state terrorism” occurring in Minneapolis and pays tribute to Lenny Goode and Alex Preti, two anti-ICE activists who were killed by law enforcement. The track also criticizes influential figures like Chief of Staff Stephen Miller and DHS Secretary Kristi Noem, referred to as “King Trump.”
Recently, on the show “Pat Gray Unleashed,” host Pat Gray along with co-hosts Keith Marinak and Jeffy humorously dissected Springsteen’s latest effort.
The trio couldn’t hide their amusement at the “cheesy” lyrics from the wealthy musician. “He often takes articles from outlets like the Daily Beast, reads them, and puts music underneath,” Pat chuckled.
Jeffy pointed out that some of Springsteen’s recent performances have surfaced on his social media feed, and they left much to be desired. He added how comments often compare the musician to “Biden, who walks around with his shirt unbuttoned.”
Keith jokingly remarked that Springsteen’s work is so lacking that Bon Jovi’s “Do What You Can,” which speaks about social distancing during the pandemic, starts to sound great in comparison. He quipped about the track’s message on love during tough times, stating, “That should belong in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.”
