00:00Bruce Springsteen Issues
00:02Scathing Political Statement About Dangerous Times
00:06During European concert, he addressed all who believe in democracy during his opening night show in England.
00:13Bruce Springsteen may be launching a week's-long tour across Europe,
00:17but he won't let the dangerous times he sees brewing back home go unnoticed.
00:22The Rock and Roller addressed his opening night crowd in Manchester, England on Wednesday, May 14,
00:27to highlight the treasonous actions happening in Washington and call for freedom to ring.
00:34The mighty E Street Band is here tonight to call upon the righteous power of art, of music, of rock and roll in dangerous times, he said, per Variety.
00:44In my home, the America I love, the America I've written about, that has been a beacon of hope and liberty for 250 years,
00:52is currently in the hands of a corrupt, incompetent, and treasonous administration.
00:58He added,
00:59Tonight, we ask all who believe in democracy and the best of our American experiment to rise with us.
01:05Raise your voices against authoritarianism and let freedom ring.
01:09Springsteen has previously acknowledged that
01:11My opinion's no more or less important than those of any of my fellow citizens,
01:17which is likely why he only recently began speaking out politically.
01:21But like you, I've only got one vote, and it's one of the most precious possessions that I have,
01:27he continued, explained, when he officially endorsed Kamala Harris and Tim Walls ahead of the 2024 election.
01:34Following Trump's win, the Born in the USA singer performed in Toronto,
01:37where he shared a fighting prayer for my country with the audience in his 2007 track, Long Walk Home.
