Bruce Springsteen pens new "Streets of Minneapolis" protest song, with lyrics honoring Renee Good, Alex Pretti

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."

Has he dedicated “Born in the USA” to anchor babies?

It’s so formulaic he should have just let AI do it.

I had to listen to that caterwauling on the Warroom this afternoon. The guy couldn’t carry a tune in a bucket.

In one sense he did. He has been a clown for rats for years.

“It’s so formulaic he should have just let AI do it.“

Honestly I don’t think AI would sound as Springsteen exaggerated as Bruce himself sounds.

Someone needs to show this unstable lefty what his hero Alex Pretti did 11 days before he ended his life.

I actually literally bumped into him around 25 years ago.
I was hoofing it down a Boston sidewalk looking for an address when i walked into something.
Startled, i looked around bewildered until i looked DOWN and saw “The Boss”!!
I apologized and he was very understanding and said no problem.
This happened in front of the Boston Four Seasons Hotel.

Springsteen is not Jewish.
He is of Dutch, Irish, and Italian linage.

McCartney is, well, McCartney. Truly a genius of his craft.

When I think McCartney as a songwriter, I always smile at the backstory of “Silly Love Songs”, which went to No 1 with the following chorus

I love you
I love you
I love you
I love you

It is an insurgency-a “Color Revolution”. That Green Beret who had the viral post on it recently was spot on.

:Yes, I just looked that up. I was never his fan and had read that he was a Jewish Christian. Misinformation .

“I love you
I love you
I love you
I love you“

LOL. I’m no McCartney but I personally have a songwriting history with that absolutely hackneyed lyric. For years I’d been trying for a million seller via songwriting. At some point I decided to write a simple catchy maybe even brainless powerpop tune, a variety I’d always admired but had never successfully attempted, mainly due to an inability to gin up verse lyrics. My spec for the chorus was, of course, “I love you”.

Finally I settled on writing about the “thunderbolt” as described in The Godfather. This would facilitate the chorus wonderfully. We’ll long story short if I asked a listener which song out of ten was a favorite…you guessed it “I Love you”. If only I could have gotten McCartney to sing it…

Das Horst Wessel Lied. The Horst Wessel song.

The song led MILLIONS of devoted Germans to their death fighting “the west.” The death of a loyal party member was used as a propaganda tool by Hitler’s Reich, it became the co-anthem of the Party.

Here we are, almost 100 years later and Bruce Springsteen thinks he can do better? But of course, leftists (and if you think the NAZI party was “right-wing” you don’t understand squat about history or politics so just move along) need a song to rally their troops.

ANTIFA (or SA) types are SO simple-minded they’ll march to their deaths in support of a cause which will dump them with many many long knives as the useful idiots they are once the goal of the party (dementiacrats) is met.

The goal? Complete and total political, economic, religious, social control of society. First, America, next, the world.

“History doesn’t repeat itself, but it does rhyme“ - Theodor Reik, 1965

[The Mandela effect. Rewriting history since… I don’t know. Since Philip K Dick began taking down the rice paper walls of reality?]
