Thread Name: ADD:The Streets of Minneapolis (Bruce Springsteen)
Subject: The Streets of Minneapolis
In the '60's it was 'We Shall Overcome'. It was a time when The Weavers, Woody Guthrie, Pete Seeger, Bob Dylan and many others were prepared to stand up for 'the common man and woman'. And now Bruce Springsteen has joined this band with a new song, 'The Streets of Minneapolis', a song against 'King Trump and his private army', a song about the brutality that we have seen on our screens night after night. It is a song that needs to be sung across the whole of America, from the Canadian Border to the Gulf of Mexico; from the streets around the Kennedy Centre in Washington to the Pacific coast. It takes guts to sing this song, but it is a song that so needs to be sung today.
