Bruce Springsteen has reunited with longtime collaborator and Houserockers frontman Joe Grushecky for an anti-Trump protest song, “That’s What Makes Us Great.” You can purchase the track, which premiered this morning on SiriusXM, on Grushecky’s website. “I had this song, and Bruce and I had been talking,” Grushecky told the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette. “I sent it to him and he liked it. I said, ‘What do you think about singing on it?’ He gave it the Bruce treatment.” The song’s lyrics target various aspects of the Trump administration. Springsteen sings, “Don’t tell me a lie/And sell it as a fact/I’ve been down that road before/And I ain’t going back.” Later he sings, “And don’t you brag to me/That you never read a book/I never put my faith/In a con man and his crooks.”
Grushecky told the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette that Trump “lost me the moment he started making fun of special needs people. How could a person like that be president of the United States?” Springsteen’s anti-Trump efforts include topical covers in concert and a performance at a Clinton rally. In a 2016 interview with Rolling Stone, he commented, “The republic is under siege by a moron.”
I wish entertainers would just entertain
I dont care about their political affiliations, and when they start this shit , its just jumping the shark.. they are done , and to people like me.. this is just them nailing up their own coffin
and just to qualify my statement and feelings ..I’d feel the same way if Hitlery got in , Just dont give one shit about entertainers political opinions , and for them to think we do care…just shows how arrogant they are
And that folks, is the latest from Bruce jewsteen….
A fact about ol’ Brucey (which should anyone suspect his links to the criminal psycho elites)–he was born to a wealthy family that lived in a wealthy enclave a stone’s throw from where I grew up, an enclave known as Garden City, loaded with mansions, and a prep school called St. Paul’s Academy, as well as Lord and Taylors and other rich-folks department stores. He does have some talent, I think, but there were so many folks I knew in the 60s and 70s with a hell of a lot more talent than Springsteen could ever hope to have, singing or otherwise, that–because they didn’t “know” the folks Brucey did, never had a chance at making it in the biz. I knew a teen female singer that was as good a Janis Joplin (and could sing like her), and her band. They played around in night clubs but, like I said, without connections, they never had a chance.
