COLTS NECK, NJ — After putting out a new song titled "Streets of Minneapolis" as a show of support for anti-ICE protesters, musician Bruce Springsteen issued a statement threatening to keep releasing songs until deportations were stopped. The news quickly spread across the country, with frightened Americans buying up canned goods and preparing to take shelter due to Springsteen's threat to continue putting out new music unless the trump administration ended all ICE operations. "I can do this every day, and nobody wants that," Springsteen said in a video posted online. "If you want to prevent me from releasing...

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...

I might not have seen a movie flop as hard as the Bruce Springsteen biopic, so forgettable that I can’t even remember the title. Born in the USA, no. That’s not it. The Promised Land? Nope. Ah, now I remember. How could I forget? They changed the title from Deliver Me From Nowhere to Springsteen: Deliver Me From Nowhere. And we had to always write it that way, every single time. They hoped name recognition would boost ticket sales. They were wrong. With a budget of $55 million, it was one of last year’s unequivocal flops. It couldn’t even break...

Bruce Springsteen criticized the ICE surge in Minnesota and the shooting of Renee Good during a surprise show in New Jersey over the weekend, parroting the words of Mayor Jacob Frey in demanding that ICE "get the f--- out of Minneapolis." Springsteen performed a surprise set Saturday night in New Jersey at the Light of Day benefit show. During a set with Joe Grushecky and The Houserockers, he performed his song "The Promised Land" off "Darkness on the Edge of Town" — which he dedicated to Renee Good. SNIP What they're saying: Before the rendition, Springsteen made a statement against...

'And I was totally embarrassed. And for years, I would almost disguise myself before going into the psychiatrist's office that had my baseball hat on and my glasses and I'm looking around and I'm sneaking in as fast as I can. 'Yeah, and just because, you know, I was grown up to believe that it was embarrassing to ask for that kind of help and need that kind of help. 'And it took me years to get used to just feeling fine and confident about walking into the office. It was so forbidden in the world that I grew up...

They called him “The Boss,” but he never pushed anyone harder than he did himself. It showed. In his lyrics, in his music, in his performances. Bruce Springsteen never sweat a drop that did not come from honest labor. All that ambition, all that energy and drive, converged in one of the greatest albums in rock ’n’ roll history, “Born to Run.” It was released 50 years ago Monday. ---SNIP--- What makes Springsteen different from other Trump critics is that there is not a hint of partisanship in his criticism; his assaults are based on a humanity that transcends party...

I was 18 when Bruce Springsteen’s third album, “Born to Run,” was released 50 years ago, and it couldn’t have come at a better time. I’d just finished my freshman year in college, and I was lost. My high school girlfriend had broken up with me by letter. I had no idea what I wanted to do with my life. I was stuck back in my parents’ apartment in the Bronx. So when I dropped the record onto my Panasonic turntable and Springsteen sang, “So you’re scared and you’re thinking/That maybe we ain’t that young anymore” on the opening track,...

Shortly after President Donald Trump accused Barack Obama of treason – an epithet that has been thrown at Trump practically every day – Obama spokesman Patrick Rodenbush said: “These bizarre allegations are ridiculous and a weak attempt at distraction.” Distraction from what? Rodenbush didn’t have to say, because the media have been busy filling in that blank. “Trump tries to distract from Epstein by casually accusing Obama of treason,” is how MSNBC put it. CNN’s headline blared that “Trump’s longtime rage at Obama roars back amid Epstein furor.” “Critics say Trump is trying to distract from Epstein by talking about...

The first episode of a two-part documentary, "Billy Joel: And So It Goes," dropped on HBO this week. Bill Maher interviewed the Piano Man about the project on his "Club Random" podcast, and they ultimately got around to the topic of wokeism. ... So much of his music has been about rebellion and pushing back against authority and conventions. In the documentary, it becomes clear that it wasn't just some schtick to sell records. It's who he is. Many of the songs were written in response to the events unfolding in his life at the time. "You May Be Right"...

Former first lady Michelle Obama said rock singer Bruce Springsteen and his wife have been a guiding light for her marriage. The comments, which she made on the Wednesday episode of her “IMO” podcast, come as Springsteen celebrates 34 years with his wife, singer-songwriter Patti Scialfa. “You and Patti have been couple mentors for me and Barack for quite some time,” Obama told the musical artist. She added that she respects the two for remaining “powerhouses in [their] own right and merging those lives together.”

President Trump truths a meme of him driving a golf ball into Bruce Springsteen's noggin. Congrats to on the posting of his meme. 👊

While in Manchester England, Bruce Springsteen went on a bender insulting America and Donald Trump. He called Trump "incompetent" and "treasonous." NEW: Bruce Springsteen rants about Trump's deportations during a concert. pic.twitter.com/xdfCydjnl0 — Resist the Mainstream (@ResisttheMS) May 17, 2025He had some choice things to say, some of which were pure nonsense: - “Tonight, we ask all who believe in democracy and the best of our American experiment to rise with us, raise your voices against authoritarianism, and let freedom ring!”- “In my country, they’re taking sadistic pleasure in the pain that they inflict on loyal American workers. They’re rolling...

Kamala Harris‘ rally in Atlanta, Georgia, which featured a free performance from Bruce Springsteen, captured attendees getting up and leaving after the musician had finished his set. It seems the only way Kamala could get people to attend the rally was by offering a free concert. And let’s be honest, Springsteen wasn’t that good either. Predictably, Harris used her platform to trash Donald Trump, claiming, “He does not understand this country, its history, or what it means to be deeply American.” Watch VIDEO AT LINK.................. Unlike Springsteen, Trump doesn’t have to pretend he is for the hard-working average American; he...

VIDEOThe voice of Bruce Springsteen has gotten so bad that it might even be WORSE than his parody. Compare the parody Bruce Springsteen with the real Bruce Springsteen. No matter which one you think is worse, they are both ready for the Gong Show.

Two days in a row this week, Harris was off the campaign trail, which was probably good for her since she keeps driving her approval ratings lower every time she opens her mouth. Apparently it's time for another "reboot," and this time, Harris has decided that her presidency will consist of betraying our allies and hosting concerts with Bruce Springsteen. It's a bold move, especially since one of her big pitches other than "DONALD TRUMP IS LITERALLY HITLER!," is that it is time to turn the page and bring out a new generation to run the world. Bruce Springsteen is...

The Boss is officially a billionaire. Bruce Springsteen, who, with songs like “Badlands,” “Hungry Heart” and “My Hometown” became rock ‘n’ roll’s voice of the working class, is now worth $1.1 billion, according to a “conservative” Forbes estimate. Much of his net worth has been solidified in the past few years. In 2021, Springsteen sold his music catalog to Sony for an estimated $500-$550 million, marking the biggest transaction ever struck for a single artist’s body of work. Pollstar reported that in 2023, The Boss sold more than 1.6 million concert tickets, generating $380 million in revenue. With more than...

Bruce Springsteen is getting some unfavorable comparisons to John Mellencamp following the latter's meltdown at a recent show. The musician walked off after getting into it with a heckler. Now, fans are saying Springsteen and Mellencamp are cut from the same cloth. Taking to social media, several critics blasted Mellencamp and also brought Springsteen into the conversation. Critics claim that both Mellencamp and Springsteen are out of touch with the fanbase that once propped them up. One person wrote, "I have seen JCM five times. Just like Springsteen, these guys used to be in touch with the common man. They...

After calling for and then deleting his demand for the left to “exterminate” conservative “cockroaches,” Bruce Springsteen’s E Street Band guitarist Steven Van Zandt is still walking back his incendiary comment, claiming he meant to say “exterminate at the ballot box.” In a recent set of angry tweets, Steven Van Zandt defended his use of “cockroaches” to describe the political opposition after someone pointed out that the same insult was used in Rwanda to foment genocide. Van Zandt claimed his use of “cockroach” was just “symbolism” and that he really meant to say “exterminate at the ballot box.” He called...
