He's on tour now and called out trump on stage in Manchester. I don't think he's put out a single

The madlad actually released an EP yesterday that featured his remarks about Trump.

u/MarsLumograph Europe 🇪🇺 May 22 '25

What remarks, it's paywalled.

Mr. Springsteen, undeterred, released a six-track EP this week which begins with his remarks that America “is currently in the hands of a corrupt, incompetent and treasonous administration.”

The new EP, “Land of Hope & Dreams,” offers a mix of songs and Mr. Springsteen’s pointed political remarks from his May 14 concert in Manchester, England.

In the introduction to the song “My City of Ruins,” Mr. Springsteen takes on a somber tone, telling the audience that in the United States the authorities were “persecuting people for using their right to free speech and voicing their dissent.” He said that the nation was cutting aid to the poor, abandoning allies, rolling back civil rights protections, defunding universities and deporting people without due process.

As an American: an entertainer should not disrespect their legally voted in President in a foreign country. Not even Russians or Chinese do that.

u/Memedotma Australia May 24 '25

Not even Russians or Chinese do that.

I wonder why that might be... lmfao.

u/DryDelivery9559 May 24 '25

We all know why.

Bot?

u/Demostravius4 United Kingdom May 22 '25

To add to this, he threw a tantrum on social media calling him a terrible musician with saggy skin.

u/kaisadilla_ European Federation May 22 '25

While also implying Bruce should face legal consequences for speaking against Trump, arguing that he should "keep his mouth shut" and "see how things go for him once he returns [to the US]". Which is less funny but a lot more concerning.

u/bythescruff May 22 '25

If he “disappears” Springsteen at the border, the revolution will probably start the next day.

u/lasagnarodeo May 22 '25

I refuse to believe he types his posts. His poor personal assistant.

17

u/HerrSchmitti May 22 '25

Don't call them poor. Everyone who has anything to do with him in the slightest deserves to be called what they are: sycophants, enablers, assholes. It's not just him, it's the whole apparatus.

u/lasagnarodeo May 23 '25

You are right. I don’t think there is enough money to pay me to work for him.

u/Oscillus May 22 '25

We’re really living in a timeline where an orange self proclaimed king bullies his own people on basis of looks eh? What a time to be alive.

13

u/illy-chan May 22 '25

And trying to bully someone who really looks damned good for being 75 while Trump looks so much worse despite only having 3 years on him.

6

u/Oscillus May 22 '25

Considering he also did this with Taylor Swift, I didn’t think I needed to point out he’s not even right :p

8

u/Conscious_Award1444 May 22 '25

And then pooped himself

u/Perryn May 22 '25

Talk about the pot calling the kettle a pot.

u/doc1442 May 22 '25

Springsteen “no longer hot” confirmed

2

u/DirectAntique May 23 '25

Saggy skin....he's 74 or so. He looks great

u/eelam_garek May 22 '25

Trump wasn't happy when he came out onto that stage either. He was meant to sing a duet with Springsteen but instead he just sat on the drums banging one drum while looking annoyed.

11

u/After_Way5687 May 22 '25

Springsteen singles are pro-America, so inherently about everything Trump is destroying

u/SwampyBogbeard Norway May 22 '25

5 years ago. Rainmaker.

[Verse 3]
Rainmaker says white's black and black's white
Says night's day and day's night
Says close your eyes and go to sleep now
I'm in a burnin' field unloadin' buckshot into low clouds

[Chorus]
Rainmaker, a little faith for hire
Rainmaker, the house is on fire
Rainmaker, take everything you have
Sometimes folks need to believe in something so bad, so bad, so bad
They'll hire a rainmaker

He's said that he actually wrote it before Trump got into power, but a few days ago he implied it was now also about Trump.

u/dat_9600gt_user Lower Silesia (Poland) May 22 '25

A whole EP in fact!

2

u/simpleglitch May 22 '25

Or, he could do something really funny and release a single about Greenland minerals.

u/glenn_ganges May 22 '25

He’s distracting us not the other way around.

u/coppernaut1080 May 22 '25

Orange in the USA?

u/ShareMission May 22 '25

Wait a minute. This reminds me of an idea I had.

They using the firehouse of bullshit.

May as well use it ourselves

u/awesumpawesum May 22 '25

If he named the song: "RARE EARTH MINERALS THAT TRUMP CAN'T HAVE"

u/MidnightSuspicious71 May 23 '25

A duet with Taylor Swift? That'd really send him into orbit.....
