I guess you didn't need another concert to prove Bruce Springsteen is a dope. Last week he kicked off his "Land of Hope and Dreams" tour by asking the audience, in Manchester, England, to "raise your voices against authoritarianism and let freedom ring."
He criticized our president and our country while outside the U.S., just as his pal, Obama liked to do. If you remember, the ungrateful twosome got together on a podcast in 2021 to jointly trash the U.S., a country that has made them both rich, one of them a black man. But I think they also talked about the U.S.'s terrible racism, if I'm not mistaken.
It seems Bruce forgot that the audience he was performing before, in England, is a monarchy, ruled by a king. And that the definition of authoritarinism could be defined as having a king.
But, most importantly, he also forgot that Americans have already raised their voices, and given their lives, for freedom, in the American Revolution. Against a king. In England.
It's too bad Bruce was Born in the U.S.A., but fortunately he's not The Boss of any of us.
Hang tough.
