While performing in Manchester, England, he paused for a moment to comment on American politics, specifically to call out treason.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Springsteen has long been involved in politics as an artist and supporter of democracy. Addressing the crowd, he called upon the \u201crighteous power of art, of music, of rock \u2018n\u2019 roll in dangerous times.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He continued, \u201cIn my home, the America I love, the America I\u2019ve written about, that has been a beacon of hope and liberty for 250 years is currently in the hands of a corrupt, incompetent, and treasonous administration.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Before launching into the 2001 track \u201cLand of Hope &amp; Dreams,\u201d Springsteen urged the crowd, \u201cTonight, we ask all who believe in democracy and the best of our American experience to rise with us, raise your voices against authoritarianism and let freedom ring!\u201d<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Bruce Springsteen Slams Current U.S. Administration, Calls for Anti-Authoritarianism Support During Concert<\/h3>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-instagram wp-block-embed-instagram\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\"><iframe id=\"instagram-embed-0\" class=\"instagram-media instagram-media-rendered\" src=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/reel\/DJpbk__NR2q\/embed\/captioned\/?cr=1&amp;v=14&amp;wp=500&amp;rd=https%3A%2F%2Famericansongwriter.com&amp;rp=%2Fbruce-springsteen-opens-tour-with-powerful-pro-democracy-anti-treason-message%2F%3Ffbclid%3DIwY2xjawKTyA1leHRuA2FlbQIxMABicmlkETEzQThXeGpBTVpHZmVONUJKAR5CXs_H5VHsig0aXdQbp3C5xxBlNGAiqgOAKOlWiW1r3nbZ24tEyE3#%7B%22ci%22%3A0%2C%22os%22%3A3257%7D\" height=\"1117\" frameborder=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\" data-instgrm-payload-id=\"instagram-media-payload-0\" data-gtm-yt-inspected-8=\"true\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"><\/iframe><\/div>\n<\/figure>\n<p>Later in the show, Bruce Springsteen addressed the crowd again with powerful statements about the state of U.S. politics.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe last check on power after the checks and balances of government have failed are the people, you and me,\u201d he said. \u201cIt\u2019s in the union of people around a common set of values now that\u2019s all that stands between a democracy and authoritarianism. At the end of the day, all we\u2019ve really got is each other.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He continued, \u201cThere\u2019s some very weird, strange, and dangerous s\u2013t going on out there right now. In America they are persecuting people for using their right to free speech and voicing their dissent. This is happening now.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Despite the fact that Springsteen was discussing American politics while in the U.K., there\u2019s still merit to rallying the people around a common cause. People in the U.K. have been dealing with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bbc.com\/news\/live\/cvgq9ejql39t\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">their own form of dangerous politics<\/a> recently as well. Springsteen\u2019s statements are about the U.S., but they arem unfortunately, internationally relatable.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band recently kicked off their Land of Hope &amp; Dreams Tour with a powerful message.
