■ Bruce Springsteen
Bruce Springsteen is an American singer, songwriter, and guitarist. Nicknamed “the Boss”, Springsteen has released 21 studio albums spanning six decades; most of his albums feature the E Street Band, his backing band since 1972. Springsteen is a pioneer of heartland rock, combining commercially successful rock with poetic, socially conscious lyrics that reflect working-class American life. He is known for his energetic concerts, some of which last more than four hours.
No Kings
The organizers, via CBS, said that this upcoming No Kings March, in St Paul, Minnesota, will likely draw in over 100,000 people… partly thanks to Bruce Springsteen, Joan Baez, and Jane Fonda appearing and supporting the march.
Personally speaking, even without the support of singers and actors, I fully believe it would draw in that much, just because the current climate in America is horrible because of King Donald Trump. If you’ve been keeping up with the news, he threatens war or take Canada and Greenland by force. He started a war of Venezuela and Iran. He’s taxed the entire world (through his stupid tariffs). He’s murdered US citizens through his masked I.C.E. agents, murdered fishermens, murdered school girls. He’s hiding the Epstein files. He renamed the Kennedy Center (and when no one would play, he closed the center down).
It’s time Americans stand up against this King. Kick him out of office, charge him with war crimes and lock him up. Let’s reverse all the damage he’s done and hopefully the rest of the world will understand and, once again, look at America with respect and a guiding light.
At each of the three kick-off marches, a short program with speakers and local performers starts at 12pm CST. The main rally program will begin at 2pm CST.
