Bruce Springsteen has responded to Trump's unhinged attacks on him and other artists who supported Harris's election bid in the best way possible; with some appropriate music, an EP from his recent concert in Manchester, UK.
From Rolling Stone:
In his intro to “Land of Hope and Dreams,” Springsteen lays out his philosophy, telling the Brits that the E Street Band would be summoning the power of rock “in dangerous times.” “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,” he says. “Tonight, we ask all who believe in democracy and the best of our American experience to rise with us, raise your voices against authoritarianism, and let freedom ring.” Pretty good, right? And after that you get the seven-minute Wrecking Ball song.
He played Land of Hope and Dreams in Toronto last fall and it was glorious.
