  1. > Springsteen began his “Promised Land” introduction by calling the “Darkness on the Edge of Town” favorite “his next song is “probably one of my greatest songs” and saying he wrote it “as an ode to American possibility … both to the beautiful but flawed country that we are, and to the country that we could be. Now, right now, we are living through incredibly critical times. The United States, the ideals and the values for which it stood for the past 250 years, is being tested as it has never been in modern times. Those values and those ideals have never been as endangered as they are right now.”

    > He continued, “So as we gather tonight in this beautiful display of love and care and thoughtfulness and community … if you believe in democracy, in liberty … if you believe that truth still matters, and that it’s worth speaking out, and it’s worth fighting for … if you believe in the power of the law and that no one stands above it … if you stand against heavily armed masked federal troops invading American cities, and using Gestapo tactics against our fellow citizens … if you believe you don’t deserve to be murdered for exercising your American right to protest … then send a message to this President.”

    > That message, he continued, was that “as the mayor of that city has said, ICE should get the fuck out of Minneapolis. So this one is for you, and the memory of the mother of three and American citizen Renee Good.”

  2. I hate to keep saying this, because I like Bruce.

    He is a billionaire. Barack and Michelle Obama are among his friends, and he has many more acquaintances with direct lines of access to real power. If he’s not using his considerable resources to say these things directly to the people who need to hear them, public statements like these are pointless.
