Bruce Springsteen speaking in Manchester 👏🇺🇸 (the first 35 seconds are a silhouette before being properly lit)
"In my home, the America I love that has been a beacon of hope and liberty for 250 years, is currently in the hands of a corrupt, incompetent, and treasonous administration"
"Tonight, we ask all who believe in democracy and the best of our American experience, to rise with us to raise your voices against authoritarianism and let freedom reign"
"The last check on power after the checks and balances on government have failed, are the people, you and me"
"It's in the union of people around a common set of values. That's all that stands between democracy and authoritarianism"
"At the end of the day all we've really got is each other"
"There are some very weird, strange and dangerous sh*t going on out there right now"
"In America they are persecuting people for using their right to free speech and voicing their descent"
"This is happening now"
"In America, the richest men are taking satisfaction at abandoning the world's poorest children to sickness and death"
"This is happening now"
"in my country they are taking sadistic pleasure at the pain they inflict on loyal American workers"
"They're rolling back historic civil rights legislation that led to a more just and plural society"
"They're abandoning our great allies, and siding with dictators against those struggling for their freedoms"
"They're defunding American universities that won't bow down to their ideological demands"
"They're removing residents off American streets, and without due process of law, deporting them to foreign detention centres and prisons"
"This is all happening now"
"A majority of our elected representatives have failed to protect the American people from the abuses of an unfit President and a rogue government"
"They have no concern or idea of what it means to be deeply American"
"The America that I sung to you about for 50 years is real, and regardless of its fault is a great country with a great people"
"So we'll survive this moment"
*One of my memories as a kid is of a fly drive in the USA where we pumped up the radio nice and loud. And my fav song, which I still remember? Springsteen's Born in the USA - That's the America I know and remember and I wish you all the very best in shining as a nation once again 🙏
