Nolte: Breitbart
"Throughout his career, his music and concert monologues were universal in their approach and appeal. Of course, he was political, but he was always thoughtful in the way he expressed himself and never divisive."
"Former rock star Bruce Springsteen turned a sold-out rock concert in Minneapolis, Minnesota, into a three-hour political lecture.
"What’s most striking about these quotes is not that they are divisive and dishonest (although they are that), but that it’s all platitudes, empty slogans, and thoughtless talking points:
We are living through some very dark times. Our American values that have sustained us for 250 years are being challenged as never before. We’ve got our young men and women’s lives at risk in an unconstitutional and illegal war.
We are here in celebration and defense of our American ideals. Democracy, our Constitution and our sacred American promise, 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.
The richest men in America have abandoned the world’s poorest children through death and disease, through their dismantling of U.S. aid.
We are abandoning NATO and the world order that’s kept us safe and at global peace for 80 years.
Our museums are being told to whitewash American history of any unpleasant or inconvenient facts like the full history of the brutality of slavery. You want to talk about snowflakes? We have a president who can’t handle the truth.
While working Americans struggle, our president and his family enrich themselves by billions of dollars training on the people’s office in corruption unmatched in American history.
To many, we are no longer looked upon as an often imperfect but strong defender of democracy standing for the global good, we are no longer the land of the free and the home of the brave.
We are now, to many, America the reckless, unpredictable, predatory rogue nation. That is this administration’s and this president’s legacy.
So many of our elected leaders have failed us that this American tragedy can only be stopped by the American people. So join us and let’s fight for the America that we love.
"And on and on and on he went like this, like your lesbian aunt who shows up uninvited at a family wedding, for three freaken hours.
"Springsteen intends to do this through May 27 on this 20-stop anti-Trump tour.
"It’s all so cynical." . . .

UPDATE: EXPOSED: Bruce Springsteen Hijacks Concert for Anti-Trump RANT as Fans Demand Refunds | Next News Network
"Bruce Springsteen, the aging rocker whose glory days are decades behind him, shamelessly hijacked a sold-out concert in Minneapolis to subject paying fans to a three-hour anti-Trump political lecture instead of the entertainment they paid good money to see.
"According to reports, the former rock star spent more time bashing President Trump's successful second-term agenda than actually performing the hits that made him famous back when America still cared about his opinion. This is what passes for "entertainment" in liberal circles – forcing captive audiences to endure leftist propaganda. . . .
. . . "Social media erupted with disgust over Springsteen's partisan stunt. "He's promoting foreign belief into Americans wave life instead of defending America. He promoting communist socialist agenda," fired back one fed-up patriot on Twitter, perfectly capturing what millions of Americans think about these Hollywood has-beens.
"THIS IS HIS ONLY HOPE OF FILLING A VENUE. HAS BEEN," posted another user, highlighting the sad reality that Springsteen apparently needs Trump Derangement Syndrome to sell tickets these days.
"The timing couldn't be more pathetic. Here we have President Trump delivering on his America First promises – securing the border, bringing back jobs, and restoring American strength – while Springsteen whines from his millionaire bubble to folks who just wanted to hear "Born in the USA." . . .
