Bruce Springsteen has surprised a live EP with the performances that infuriated Donald Trump.
It is titled Land of Hope & Dreamslasts half an hour and contains six tracks (four songs and two intro) recorded in Manchester on May 14. It was the first evening of the European tour with the and Street Band during which the musician spoke of an America in the hands of an inadequate president.
Springsteen's words aroused the reaction of Trump (at this link a summary) who ordered the musician to ask for his mouth, he said he is talented, he accused him of having collected money to support Kamala Harris in the presidential elections by announcing a “great investigation”, and then publishing a videomontage in which he hits him with a ball from Golf (he is not a ball. joke).
Below the tracklist and the introductory speeches of Springsteen a Land of Hope and Dreams And My City of Ruins. In the first he says that his homeland, “the America I love, the America I wrote of and that it was a lighthouse of hope and freedom for 250 years, is currently in the hands of a corrupt, incompetent and traitor administration. Tonight we ask all those who believe in democracy and in the best part of the American experience to oppose us, to make their voices heard against authoritarianism “.
In the second introduction Springsteen says that “something very strange, disturbing and dangerous is happening. In America people persecute people for exercising the right to freedom of speech and for expressing dissent. And it is happening right now. In America, the richest men are pleased to let the poorest children in the world fall over and die. It is happening now ».
«In my country, they feel a sadistic pleasure in inflicting pain in American workers. They are dismantling historical laws on civil rights that had led to a more just and pluralist society. They are abandoning our allies and lift on the side of the dictators and against those who struggle for freedom. They are removing funds from universities that do not obey their ideology. They take people from the streets of America and without any trials they incarcend it. All this is happening now. The majority of political representatives failed to defend the American people from the abuses of an inadequate president and a rogue administration. They don't care and have no idea what it means to be truly American ».
