The rally in Sydney, Australia was overshadowed by the skywriting of Trumps name overhead.

The E Street Band is glad to be here in Western Australia. But were a long way from home, and our hearts and spirits are with the hundreds of thousands of women and men that marched yesterday in every city in America and in Melbourne who rallied against hate and division and in support of tolerance, inclusion, reproductive rights, civil rights, racial justice, LGBTQ rights, the environment, wage equality, gender equality, healthcare, and immigrant rights. We stand with you. We are the new American resistance.
Bruce Springsteen January 22, 2017 Perth, Australia
Backstreets reported last week that Springsteen played a two hour private acoustic concert at the White House for President and Mrs. Obama and about 200-250 staffers on January 12.
The Dixie Chicks garnered notoriety for trashing President Bush at a London concert in 2003. While Springsteen is in no danger of facing a similar career nosediving backlash from his fans as the Chicks had a conservative country music fan base, he will still likely face criticism for his overseas attack on President Trump from some quarters.
Isn't that true of every sixtysomething or seventysomething rocker?
It's no reflection on his silly politics, but he'd have to be a truly miraculous genius to be turning out first-rate material after 40 years.
What are they resisting? Freedom and Prosperity?
Right, while Bruce and his ilk supported the most hateful, divisive President in U.S. history.
Front butt, we call that around here! What’s her name, Jigglypuff? :)
I think they’ve already come up with the best possible appellation for themselves: Pink P_ssies. Pink cause they’re socialists and...well, you know...
I think “Jigglypuff” works too. It’s a pokemon. Jigglypuffs are fat, pink monsters that hope to defeat their enemies by singing. Yes, really.
Unfortunately, they might like that and consider it flattering. Considering what most of them look like , it probably would be.
I wish I didn’t know that much about pokemon.
Let me get this straight, Bruce.
You are for interventionist wars which tear apart nations to the point of destabilizing entire regions.
You are for the continued agony of homeless, impoverished people thrown into chaos through wars and without any hope but to leave their homelands and invade countries who don’t want them there.
You are for the continued abuse of children, women and helpless adults in the throws of heavy addictions because you refuse to enforce border controls. You do know that most of the heroin decimating our citizens comes from Mexico, don’t you?
You are for the continued predation of globalist companies who bleed countries for cheap labor and when those laborers rightfully demand better conditions and pay, leave for even cheaper labor. Isn’t that the definition of slavery?
So much has happened to destroy ordinary people over the past decades and you, Bruce support it all.
You are for the continued deterioration of schools and young men without hope warehoused in prisons because they couldn’t get an entry job into the middle class: no manufacturing left for them unlike their forebears.
You are just another standard bearer for the entrenched leeches bleeding the country to death.
This changes everything. /s
Somebody got up on the wrong side of her butt this morning!
You don’t understand. Bruce Sprinsteen is worth $345,000,000 and his daughter rides horse that cost more than most people’s houses. He’s got his finger on the pulse of the revolution.
Also, if his spirit was with the people who protested yesterday, maybe his spirit could have sent a few dozen trash collectors to clean up after them.
Never have liked Sprungstung; always thought he was just a dipstick for a cess pool.
The little girl must be adopted.
You did notice that she was drinking a coke instead of water, yes?
Don’t get me wrong; I like a coke once in awhile, but I don’t think she needed the extra calories.
Friendly reminder to Bruce, what goes around comes around. Next time the Democrats are in charge, the push back from the right will justifiably be just as hard and we pay the taxes that fund it all, so good luck with that. The war is on.
It looks like the one on the right has a great malpractice case against her chiropractor. Either that, or she tried a yoga position that was too advanced,

I feel that way about Streisand. Always loved her music but nope can’t do her anymore.
No Bruce... You are NOT American resistance. That just happened PUNK against Hillary and her Globalist buddies.
No Bruce you are with the Globalist and you are ANTI-AMERICAN.
This is why you do not want to make America Great Again.
Bruce Springstein = Globalist Coup D’Etat
Never liked his music anyway.....never bought his stuff. Now will actively seek to avoid it.
Screw you Springsteen.
I’m not sure Bruce knows how little many of us care what his political leanings are. His ego seems to have overloaded his ass.
