Bruce Springsteen releases anti-Trump protest song © Getty Images Rock-and-roll legend Bruce Springsteen has released a new anti-Trump protest song called “That’s What Makes Us Great.”
Springsteen joined with frequent collaborator Joel Grushecky on the track.
Grushecky told the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette that he wrote the song after Trump took office in January.
“I had this song, and Bruce and I had been talking. 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.”
Springsteen hits Trump for his reported distaste for reading in one verse, singing “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.”
The chorus of the song takes a positive note, as both artists sing “It’s up to me and you/Love can conquer hate/I know this to be true/That’s what makes us great.”
Springsteen is a longtime supporter of Democratic candidates, having backed both former President Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton during their campaigns.
Did Bruce record this during his visit to Tahiti?
Why advertise it here?
I. Don’t. Care.
Who cares??? Why even put this crap in FR?????
They couldn’t defeat Trump in a head-to-head election so they are now working to smear him out of office.
How so very predictable. “The Boss” trying to stay relevant at a conservative’s expense. Same as Cher, Streisand, etc. - has beens all.
“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.”
Morons.
FUBS
That’s racist.
Well bless his dark little heart!
I’ve heard his political views before. He’s an idiot, plain and simple. He has a completely unrealistic view of the world.
a worthless POS
This puke should re-unite with the other “no-nukes’ pukes from the Reagan era and sing more useless and unpopular crap just like in the 1980s
Springsteen, the “expert” on politics was quoted on the eve of the Election after he performed with Beyoncé and JayZ in Phila. for a concert for Hillary that “Trump is going down tomorrow”. This ill-educated buffoon should stick to music; any topic that requires intelligence is beyond his capabilities.
Screw Bruce Springsteen...I’m proud that I have NEVER spent one dime on his trash.
Once a commie always a commie. Take a long walk on a short pier, Bruce.
How courageous, how avant-garde...
He hasn’t had a Hit SINGLE in 25 years, this won’t change that FACT.
