Protest songs at Nationals Park
It’s been less than 14 years since I last saw Bruce Springsteen play a concert at Nationals Park, but it feels like decades have passed since those innocent days of 2012. The nation and the world have changed in unpleasant and unsettling ways, those years have left their wear on me… and somehow the Boss barely seems to have aged.
Springsteen’s music, however, resonated in new ways Wednesday night against the backdrop of the second Trump administration’s cruelty, corruption and crime–and Springsteen’s up-to-the-minute denunciations of it, including commentary on this week’s abuses of power at ICE’s Delaney Hall prison outside Newark.
So “No Surrender,” released in 1984 on an album I got on tape, sounded very much of 2026’s moment in this setting. As Springsteen said towards the end of the night: “No one is coming to save us. So we have to do it ourselves.”
Likewise, the angry words in “The Promised Land” about being lied to (about what exactly is left to the listener’s imagination) hit in a way they hadn’t before when Springsteen and the E Street Band lit into that 1978 release right after “Streets of Minneapolis”–the song he wrote in January after government agents shot and killed Renée Good and Alex Pretti on those frozen streets.
That reminder of the crimes committed by Trump’s Department of Homeland Security then made “American Skin (41 Shots)” more arresting than before. People in the Twin Cities probably have some words about how in Trump 2.0’s thuggish version of the United States, you can get killed just for living in your American skin.
A cover of the Clash’s “Clampdown” on which Springsteen and Rage Against the Machine’s Tom Morello took turns on vocals itself picked up a little new relevance when heard in a neighborhood that has picked up a reputation, maybe undeserved, as a Republican hangout. As Mick Jones and Joe Strummer wrote in the late 1970s: “No man born with a living soul / can be working for the clampdown.”
Hearing “Youngstown” later in the set, I had to think the protagonist would have voted for Trump three times in a row. Would that embittered man be rethinking those choices now that Trump’s promises to renew industrial America have proved as empty as his pledges to most people besides January 6 insurrectionists? Or would he still be looking for somebody to blame?
When many other boldface names in American society keep pretending that this administration is just another presidency, Springsteen is calling out Trump’s regime with the vocabulary it deserves. That is called honesty, and it’s only one of the reasons why his work keeps speaking to me more than four decades after I started listening to it.

These are the kind of people the world needs. As another president said, we are living in challenging times where doing the right thing is not always the easiest choice. It is a moment in history that requires us to be ready for challenges, to have the courage to stand up for what we believe is right, and to call out those who are messing up. This gives me hope that #USA might not be lost yet.

#BruceSpringsteen cuts "Streets of Minneapolis" An anthem for our time. The Boss dropped #streetsofminneapolis as a nation rises against a tyrant. #harmonica optional D [Verse] D G D Through the winter’s ice and cold, down Nicollet Avenue, G D A a city aflame fought fire and ice, 'neath an occupier’s boots. D G D King Trump’s private army from the DHS, guns belted to their coats, G D A D came to Minneapolis to enforce the law, or so their story goes. [Verse] D G D Against smoke and rubber bullets, in the dawn’s early light, G D A Asus4 A citizens stood for justice, their voices ringing through the night. D G D And there were bloody footprints where mercy should have stood, G D A D And two dead left to die on snow-filled streets, Alex Pretti and Renee Good. [Chorus] G D Oh our Minneapolis, I hear your voice, singing through the bloody mist. G D We’ll take our stand for this land, and the stranger in our midst. G D Here in our home they killed and roamed, in the winter of ’26, D A D We’ll remember the names of those who died, on the streets of Minneapolis. [Verse] D G D Trump’s federal thugs beat up on his face and his chest, G D A Asus4 A then we heard the gunshots, and Alex Pretti lay in the snow, dead. D G D Their claim was "self defense, sir, just don’t believe your eyes", G D It’s our blood and bones and these whistles and phones against Miller and A D Noem’s dirty lies. [Chorus] G D Oh our Minneapolis, I hear your voice, crying through the bloody mist. D A D We’ll remember the names of those who died, on the streets of Minneapolis. [Harmonica solo] G D A D [Verse] D G D Now they say they’re here to uphold the law, but they trample on our rights. D G D If your skin is black or brown my friend, you can be questioned or deported A Asus4 A on sight. D G D In our chants of "ICE out now!", our city’s heart and soul persists, D G D A D Through broken glass and bloody tears, on the streets of Minneapolis. [Chorus] G D Oh our Minneapolis, I hear your voice, singing through the bloody mist. G D Here in our home they killed and roamed, In the winter of ’26. G D We’ll take our stand for this land, and the stranger in our midst!

Hab mir endlich Streets of Minneapolis angehört, und wow, es hat mich viel mehr beeindruckt, als erwartet. 💔
Ich glaub, es ist die Kombination aus der alten, ultrabekannten Stimme und dem ebenso urtypischen Musikstil mit einem sehr klaren Text, der von dem handelt, was ich in den vergangenen Tagen in den Nachrichten gehört und gesehen habe.
Mein Hirn kriegt ein Schleudertrauma davon (und das ist gut so!). Das Lied klingt für mich, als würde es vom Vietnamkrieg handeln, und dann kommen da aber Namen vor, die ich vor zwei Wochen noch gar nicht gekannt haben kann, und mir läuft es eiskalt den Rücken runter, weil mir bewusst wird, dass er da die aktuelle Situation beschreibt, und dass das jetzt gerade so passiert.

#StreetsOfMinneapolis #BruceSpringsteen is channeling Bob Dylan:
“And for each unharmful, gentle soul misplaced inside a jail
And we gazed upon the chimes of freedom flashing” -

With all due respect to the ever-decent #BruceSpringsteen, I have discovered another extremely noteworthy protest song called “Streets of Minneapolis.” The singer goes by the name Frida Frei, and strangely enough, I can only find it on Deezer. #streetsofminneapolis

Neben Bruce Springsteens "Streets of Minneapolis" hat gestern auch Ren Vincent's Tale veröffentlicht. Akt III einfach genial.
Die Demokratie stirbt mit all den Werten, die Reichen ihr Reichtum ermöglicht haben und heute untergraben werden."There is no democracy!
Democracy ain't corporated lobby free-for-all!
Democracy ain't rich boy silver spoon seniors!
Democracy ain't eating up a lie then forgiving you!
Democracy ain't choosing between herpes or chlamydia!
Democracy, hypocrisy a synonym entwined!"#ren #vincentstale #starrynight #democracy #usa
