In a moment when many artists choose carefully calibrated statements or diplomatic silence, Bruce Springsteen just threw down the gauntlet, as seen in the two clips in this article.
He’s right! I wish more celebrities would speak out like this. I’m not into celebrity culture or idolatry but there is no denying they have a huge platform in comparison to the ordinary person. And much less to lose personally, people with immense wealth will be far more insulated than some of our most vulnerable. This is a good example using fame for good.

There stands a true Patriot. I wish our elected officials had the same guts. There's a reason he's called the "Boss"?
Thank you for posting and Thank you Springsteen!! Most of us feel that way now!
