Bruce Springsteen Criticizes Trump Censorship At New York Film Festival Biopic Premiere

Bruce Springsteen made a surprise appearance at the New York Film Festival following the premiere of his biopic "Deliver Me From Nowhere," which chronicles his struggles during the making of the 1982 album "Nebraska." The film stars Jeremy Allen White as Springsteen and highlights a pivotal moment in his career. In his remarks, Springsteen reflected on the current state of America, describing these as "particularly dangerous times" marked by fear, divisiveness, government censorship, and hatred. Despite these challenges, he emphasized hope, describing America as a land worth fighting for, embodying dreams rather than fear. Springsteen also expressed his role as a musical ambassador, highlighting the gap between American ideals and reality, and performed his song "Land of Hope and Dreams" to close his appearance. Additionally, he has been openly critical of President Trump, labeling him as embodying the need for constitutional measures such as the 25th Amendment and impeachment.
