That's why he's THE BOSS.
Bruce Springsteen made a surprise appearance at the 2026 Light of Day Winterfest festival, and he wasn't holding back when he dove into what happened in Minneapolis.
While about to perform his hit 'The Promised Land', Springsteen paused before going off:
"I wrote this song as an ode to American possibility, it was (about) both the beautiful but flawed country that we are, and to the country that we could be. Right now, we are living through incredible critical times. The United States - the ideals and the values for which it stood for the past 250 years- is being tested as it has never been in modern times. Those values and those ideals have never been as endangered as they are right now".
Bruce then got very direct:
"So, as we gather tonight in this beautiful display of love and care and thoughtfulness and community - if you believe in democracy, in liberty; if you believe that truth still matters, that it's worth speaking out, that it is worth fighting for; if you believe in the power of the law and that no one stands above it; if you can stand against heavily armed masked federal troops invading an American city and using Gestapo tactics against our fellow citizens; if you believe you don't deserve to be murdered for exercising your American right to protest - then send a message to this President."
He then dedicated the performance to Renee Good.
