"I think we live in a time when what is true can be made to seem a lie," Springsteen says. "And what is lie can be made to seem true. And I think that the successful manipulation of those things have characterized several of our past elections. That level of hubris and arrogance has got us in the mess that we're in right now. And we're in a mess. But if we subvert, the best things that we're about in the name of protecting our freedoms, if we remove them, then who are we becoming, you know? Who are we, you know? The American idea is a beautiful idea. It needs to be preserved, served, protected and sung out. Sung out."

I think he got that right. He just doesn't see who's really doing the lying. A hard rain's gonna fall for Bruce when he does.

I think he got that right. He just doesn't see who's really doing the lying. A hard rain's gonna fall for Bruce when he does.

IF he ever does, he doesn't take the time to figure out what he is saying most of the time I think. I think he sees what he wants to then goes back to his rich lifestyle. Maybe he helps the food banks still & maybe he will do a benefit here & there. But I often wonder why he has forgotten that Asbury is where it all happened for him. He easily could have used some of his money to help save the things he sang about but he never did. Many people here now dislike him for that. Not playing a few songs for those soldiers did him quite a bit of harm too. I'm sure he thinks he knows whats going on & he has it all down but I think you are right..a hard rain is going to fall on him....
