Introducing the song that gives the tour its name, he said: “In my home, the America I love, the America I’ve written about, that has been a beacon of hope and liberty for 250 years, is currently in the hands of a corrupt, incompetent and treasonous administration. 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!”

    I am inclined to give half an ear to the guy who wrote “Born in the USA”, a song repeatedly misunderstood by a certain political party.

      Yes, Born in the USA is by no means a patriotic anthem, but rather a critical song about the miserable situation of veterans and workers in the US. The MAGA people are just too stupid to understand that.

      Springsteen has repeatedly criticized the fact that the song is being misused in this way and has long been a vocal critic of Drump.

          Well, even if it was a patriotic song, Springsteen was first. And he is a good guy - especially compared to those morons.
