Bruce Springsteen doesn’t let go. The US rock star has spoken out against President Donald Trump again.
Boss against President
The musician described Trump’s term as a “American tragedy”. “We are experiencing a terrible time of history in which the congress has neutered itself and the limits that once restricted this type of leadership disintegrated,” said Bruce Springsteen in a conversation with the British newspaper “The Sunday Times”. “The pure incompetence of this government may have the seeds of its own destruction. But I don’t know what will happen. I have not experienced such a time in my whole life and I am 75 years old.”
He makes it clear that Bruce Springsteen is not a friend of the politician: he also regularly shared Donald Trump on his current tour. At the concert in Manchester on May 20, for example, he described the President as “corrupt, incompetent and treacherous”. He condemned Trump’s immigration policy as “disgusting”. He also took up the topic in an interview with the newspaper. The ICE raids that started in Los Angeles this month criticized Springsteen as follows: “It is disgusting and dehumanism for so many people who live here in the country.”
Donald Trump shoots back
“The Boss” was very popular for his political statements. Sometimes U2 singers Bono, Pearl-Jam front man Eddie Vedder and Neil Young announced their support. However, Donald Trump also reacted and insulted the rock start as a “dry plum”. Furthermore, the musician should “hold his mouth until he is back in the country”. The conversations that Bruce Springsteen triggers with its comments also draw attention to filming “Deliver Me From Nowhere”. The first trailer for the film with Jeremy Allen White in the leading role appeared last week. October 24th is a theatrical release.
New music from Bruce Springsteen from Friday
The compilation “Tracks II: The Lost Albums” will also be released next Friday. This contains 83 songs that Bruce Springsteen wrote about his career. The songs divided into seven session albums have so far been unpublished in this form. 74 of the titles it contains are also unpublished. “Tracks II” accompanies a seventeen -minute short documentation called “Inside Tracks II”that appeared last week.
