Bruce Springsteen has released a song in honor of Alex Pretti and Renee Good titled "Streets of Minneapolis."
Springsteen announced the release Wednesday on Instagram.
"I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis," Springsteen said. "It's dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good."
The slow-burning song builds from just acoustic guitar and voice to a fuller band tune, including a harmonica solo, and ends with chants of "ICE Out!"
"Oh our Minneapolis, I hear your voice," The Boss sings. "Singing through the bloody mist/We'll take our stand for this land/And the stranger in our midst."
The title echoes Springsteen's "Streets of Philadelphia," which served as a title song for the Tom Hanks-led 1993 film "Philadelphia." It earned him an Oscar in 1994 for outstanding original song.
Springsteen has long been critical of the president, who in turn has called the rock icon "overrated." They last publicly clashed last year, when Springsteen on tour in England told his audience that America "is currently in the hands of a corrupt, incompetent and treasonous administration." Trump responded by calling Springsteen a "dried out prune of a rocker."

So, will the lyrics mention that one of these morons tried to run over an ICE agent and the other one had a loaded weapon in his possession while he struggled with ICE?
Nobody can even afford a ticket to this pr!ck’s shows. A real man of the people.
Steen is going to have to keep adding names at the rate we are going.😎
Washed out LOSER!
I can’t wait to never hear it. Same as any of his tracks post-1990s.
Not saying I want to hear his ‘70s-‘90s tracks, but that’s the last of his material I had to suffer.
Is this shriveled up has-been still lingering on?
What about the innocent Americans killed BY ILLEGALS !!!
“So, will the lyrics mention that one of these morons tried to run over an ICE agent and the other one had a loaded weapon in his possession while he struggled with ICE?”
What made this clown so cocksure he could play badass without result is that there were no local cops to stop him the day of and, in his earlier clash wherein he spit and kicked out an ICE taillight. If you’re getting away with it you’re getting away with it. In the earlier case ICE may have been too busy to take him down. Too bad.
Really - Mist rhyming with midst?
Not saying the guy hasn’t written some decent work, but please. .
“What about the innocent Americans killed BY ILLEGALS?”
Mother Government has all the sad statistics right here:

BUT - we’re making great progress:
Census Bureau announces ‘negative net-migration,’ as DHS cites 3 million illegal immigrants deported

Thank you, Mr. President! MAGA!
No surprise from “TRANSGENDER BATHROOM” Bruce Springsteen
Who, along with Bryan Adams, got on board with that Godless Reprobate Homosexual Agenda.
BTW, has Canada EVER apologized for Bryan Adams?
“I wonder if someone else actually wrote it.“
Very doubtful. When your hearts in it you can write a song in ten minutes or less. When DeepState shot Trump I wrote and recorded FightFightFight in about an hour. Might have been special if half a million other people didn’t do the exact same thing using the exact same title.
“Not saying the guy hasn’t written some decent work, but please. .”
Considering his talent and experience the song should be better. To my ear he’s imitating himself with those Dylanesq elongated vowels that he did more subtly in his youth. I have t heard McCartneys 911 song in years it I think it blows this Springsteen thing away.
No song for Jocelyn Nungaray who was raped and murdered by an illegal alien ... and all the others murdered by illegal aliens?
Irrelevant no talent old hippie that smells of mothballs. Wonder what he did with the money for singing lessons.
If it is as good as his other music...then it will be lousy just like the rest of his music. I have never understood the adulation so many have for BS. I have a dear friend who is just batshit crazy about BS and has seen him in concert like 40 plus times. I have never understood. To each his own clearly.
Not going to sing it but SCREAM IT ,LOL
OH BABY!
Get your pins ready we need to parity the living SH*T out of that song!
Bruce is a great singer/performer but he has shit for brains.
Let’s seen if we can beat in to an epiphany with a barrage of parity’s until he “Crys enough, No more” and then we keep it up and drive it in to the ground to teach the dumbass to sing but not talk.........
Virtue signaling narcissist. I never understood that whole ‘working class hero’ nonsense. I highly doubt you will ever see him on an episode of ‘Dirty Jobs’, or whatever the current equivalent is. If this nebbish truly cared about the ‘working American’ he would not support letting illegal aliens cross our border and stay in the US.
He would surely be a boring person to have to have a conversation with. You couldn’t just ‘have a beer’ with him because you would need half a bottle of scotch just to tolerate him. Boring in the USA.
