Bruce Springsteen Releases Anti-Trump EP From Manchester

Bruce Springsteen has released a new live EP titled "Land of Hope & Dreams," recorded in Manchester, England, which features his outspoken political criticisms of President Donald Trump's administration, calling it "corrupt, incompetent, and treasonous." Springsteen used the EP's introductions to rally against authoritarianism and defend free speech, highlighting issues such as persecution of dissenters and the rollback of civil rights. Trump's response was swift and hostile, labeling Springsteen a "dried-out prune of a rocker" and threatening investigations into him and other celebrities. The feud has drawn in other musicians, with some like Neil Young and Eddie Vedder supporting Springsteen, while others, including Kid Rock and Fox News personalities, have criticized him. The release of the EP has amplified their cultural clash, with Springsteen continuing to use his platform to challenge Trump’s policies and rhetoric. Despite Trump's efforts to undermine him, Springsteen's fans can access and listen to his political messages on major streaming platforms.
