Bruce Springsteen’s protest song “Streets of Minneapolis,” a response to the killings of Renee Good and Alex Pretti by federal agents. This is the offical video with lyrics.

After listening to Streets of Minneapolis, if, like me, you're curious about Springsteen's history of protest songs I found 16 Bruce Springsteen Protest Songs. That list leaves out Streets of Philadelphia, which is about the AIDS epidemic.

That's not true. They also have Ted Nugent.

Strange how he had so much in common with djt. Birds of a feather I suppose

They had Vanilla Ice perform at Trump's NYE party unironically

Weird oddity i just gotta say.

I went to a swap meet last year and ive been collecting CD's because music streaming is bad for everybody but the streaming company.

So i was walking with my father and i was telling him about the CD's i got one of which. Was bruce Springsteens Born in the USA album.

And this vendor i mean a fair bit away jumps in the conversation.

"I LOVE BRUCE SPRINGSTEEN, AWW MAN THAT ALBUM IS SUCH A GOOD ALUBUM" And i was kinda caught off guard and replied "Yeah ill take your word for it!" And continued walking.

It was such a weird thing, i mean like kudos to that guy for like to which i can say is a pretty good alum.

Reading this just made me remember this

Heads exploding trying to reconcile their understanding of Born in the USA to it's actual meaning
