COLTS NECK, NJ — After putting out a new song titled “Streets of Minneapolis” as a show of support for anti-ICE protesters, musician Bruce Springsteen issued a statement threatening to keep releasing songs until deportations were stopped.
The news quickly spread across the country, with frightened Americans buying up canned goods and preparing to take shelter due to Springsteen’s threat to continue putting out new music unless the trump administration ended all ICE operations.
“I can do this every day, and nobody wants that,” Springsteen said in a video posted online. “If you want to prevent me from releasing any more songs, it’s very simple. Just stop arresting and deporting illegal alien criminals. Let them all stay and keep assaulting, raping, and murdering people, and I’ll hold off.”
Springsteen’s tone took a far more terrifying turn, however.
“If Trump and his group of fascists insist on upholding the laws of the United States and protecting the American people, I’ll just keep going,” he said. “I’ll do a ‘Streets of…’ song for every city in this country. None of you will be safe until Trump agrees to stop keeping you safe.”
The new song, which decries the enforcement of laws and serves as a rallying cry for violent migrant criminals everywhere, was only the tip of the iceberg, Springsteen said. “Believe me, no human being wants to hear what I’m capable of. Mark my words. Stop the deportations… or else.”
Go here to read the rest. Elon, please! Isn’t there a Mars shot we could put him on?
Most overrated American musical artist ever.
Never saw the appeal.
Me neither, and I like plenty of musicians whose politics I find reprehensible.
One of the biggest phonies ever. And his music really isn’t very good. A useless eater. 😂
Frank:
“A useless eater” Using Margaret Sanger’s words against her worker. I avoid Bruce Springsteen like the plague unless one likes screaming.

Born to Run, and Darkness on the Edge of Town, were both good albums. Everyone’s better in their wannabe-Dylan phase than their think-they’re-Dylan phase.
Good point, Pinky.
I didn’t object to him in 1978, though I never collected his records. There comes a point in your life when it’s time to hang up your shoes. I’ve seen fragments of performances by Wayne Newton, Lynn Anderson, and Lesley Gore that were painful to hear. (Outside the world of entertainment, George Will provides an example of someone who should have called it a day > 20 years ago; Jeffrey Hart was another one whose last years were an embarrassment).
Political life is seldom well-rendered in any form other than exposition.
