Bruce Springsteen used a concert stage in Minneapolis to deliver a blunt warning about the state of America, leading critics to label the musician a "traitor."
Springsteen unleashed four pointed political speeches during the opening night of his "Land of Hope and Dreams American Tour" on Tuesday.
"We are living through some very dark times," he told the crowd mid-show, according to Variety. "Our American values that have sustained us for 250 years are being challenged as never before. We’ve got our young men and women’s lives at risk in an unconstitutional and illegal war. This is happening now.

Bruce sure puts that 10th grade education to good use!
Well, he just bought $120 dollar shanty in Somalia for his retirement home, good man, send us a postcard.
“No Kings”, but he calls himself “The Boss”.
What a pretentious, imperious, sanctimonious, pompous, arrogant, self-important asshole.
And his “music” sucks, too.
His groaning and squawking about life that he’s never had to live is delusional.
Never has been able to. YUGE useless POS.
The guy was fixing to piss on the flag, on the Born In The USA cover.
Americans are allowed to criticize the nation and its politics. Americans are also allowed criticize entertainers who bad-mouth our nation.
It’s far worse when they choose to do so overseas—although with Minneapolis, it’s a close-run thing.
I don’t think he is a traitor. I just think he is stupid and thinks this is the best way he can line his own pockets.
Bruce parrots the left’s reflexive response that the Iran war is illegal. Trump is well within his authority as commander in chief to eliminate the imminent threat of Iran acquiring nukes. Bruce is a puppet.
Is it just me or is Springsteen morphing into Robert Dinero?🤭
Don’t you love how billionaires are always telling paycheck to paycheck guys how tough things are.
“Born in the USA” is the song of a traitor.
‘ Born in the USA” is the song of a traitor.’
Of course a song about how badly Vietnam veterans were treated is traitorous.
He’s never had a number 1 hit and only a few that made the top ten. Yet he thinks he’s “The Boss.”
I think bruce and ellen degenerate are the same person. Prove me wrong!🤔
This draft dodging POS wrapped himself in the flag when it could benefit him, and he is now trampling it to his benefit again.
He got a doctors’s referral for bone spurs?
Glenn Close.
Fight me.
😜
