Rock icon Bruce Springsteen delivered a blunt message to President Donald Trump and his administration on Tuesday night during a politically charged tour opener in Minneapolis.
“The America that I love, the America that I’ve written about for 50 years, that’s been a beacon of hope and liberty around the world, is currently in the hands of a corrupt, incompetent, racist, reckless and treasonous administration,” Springsteen said at the start of the show to cheers from the audience.
He called on the crowd to choose “resistance over complacency, unity over division and peace over war,” with that last word signaling the start of a rousing cover of The Temptations’ “War” followed by his 1984 hit, “Born In The U.S.A.”
