With apologies, kind of, to all the Boomers and Springsteen fans out there …
Paging Bruce Springsteen – the 1960s called and would like their over-wrought war anthems back.
Springsteen – an aging, hippie gazillionaire who’s desperately clinging to his 1970s persona as a down-on-his-luck, blue-collar everyman – is at it again. Oddly desperate for relevance in the world of blue-hairs and nose rings, Bruce sat down from the comfort and safety of one of his mansions to pen a tribute to the leftists radicals who are currently committing acts of violence against federal law enforcement agents conducting immigration raids in Minneapolis.
He was compelled to act, he said, “in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis.” It’s got the incredibly original name of Streets of Minneapolis, and it’s dedicated to Alex Pretti and Renee Good, two hard-left agitators who sadly paid the ultimate price for foolishly and needlessly interfering with law enforcement activities.
I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good.
Stay free, Bruce Springsteen
Bruce is all up in his feels over this … again, from the safety and comfort of his mansion somewhere, with assistants to bring him drinks and wipe his sweaty brow as he toils away writing what he clearly thinks is Dylan-esque anti-war anthem. It’s actually a milquetoast tribute to the he/hims, she/hers, and they/thems who see himself/herself/themselves as heroes and martyrs, while the rest of the country looks on in secondhand embarrassment for them. Bruce eggs on the unhinged with these lyrics:
In the song, Springsteen sings: “King Trump’s private army from the DHS / Guns belted to their coats / Came to Minneapolis to enforce the law / Or so their story goes.”
The lyrics also include: “Then we heard the gunshots / Then Alex Pretti lay in the snow, dead / Their claim was self-defense, sir / Just don’t believe your eyes / It’s our blood and bones and these whistles and phones / Against Miller and Noem’s dirty lies.”
Make no mistake, what Bruce Springsteen is doing here is encouraging more unhinged leftists to get themselves killed because, hey, maybe they, too, can be immortalized in a faux-gritty ditty that comes with all the smarminess and condescension we’re used to getting from “The Boss.” More deaths – ha, that’ll really show Donald Trump!
Springsteen is suffering from stage 4 Trump Derangement Syndrome and it shows.
It’s not only that, though, but also the fact that he’s loudly and proudly applauding the subversion of the 2024 election in which Donald Trump was elected by American voters to, in part, close the border and remove the illegals. And removing them Trump is, starting with the murderers, rapists, and child molesters. That’s who Pretti and Good died for, and that’s who Bruce Springsteen values far more than he does his fellow Americans who value law and order.
Nice job, Boomer.
White House spokesperson Abigail Jackson commented on the song, “The Trump Administration is focused on encouraging state and local Democrats to work with federal law enforcement officers on removing dangerous criminal illegal aliens from their communities — not random songs with irrelevant opinions and inaccurate information.”
She continued, “The media should cover how Democrats have refused to work with the Administration, and instead, opted to provide sanctuary for these criminal illegals.”
