  1. I saw and listened to it earlier today. The lyrics speak for themselves. It’s reassuring to see high profile artists like Bruce Springsteen having the courage to speak up. Of course, it’s not the first time he has done so, but it’s perhaps the most impactful moment to date.

      Christian, I’ve been watching some YTs of journalists with boots on the ground in MN. Katie Phang interviewed the Mayor of St. Paul. It gave me insight into why orange douche is targeting them.

      Thanks, Jim. I just happened upon it yesterday and am happy Bruce is stepping up and naming names.

  3. Bruce is leading the charge. Let’s make this a trend, fill the air with songs of hope, songs of unity, songs of resistance. Freedom songs.

    Make it the only thing anyone talks about. This is how the Berlin Wall came down, this is how regimes change. Stand up. Sing.

    Surprisingly good, I reckon. His hearts obviously in thr right place but it could have been a trainwreck – but it’s solid.

      Graham, I agree. I remember thinking that with the Rolling Stones covid song also.

  5. I just read about this song in the paper a few minutes ago. You saved me from going to look for it. This calls for a re-blog. Thank you.

    Classic Bruce. Having fairly recently posted his cover of Dylan’s “Chimes of Freedom,” it’s not surprising that he’d come up with an anthem on the current state in Minneapolis.

        I never followed him much when he became famous, but have grown to admire him a lot more recently. He’s a powerful presence.

      You are welcome, V. Colbert even talked about the song and played a clip of it last night.

  8. Colbert is great. Obviously, so is Springsteen! Both give me some hope. And that all I have to say about that!
