I remember a President who invited BB King and Mick Jagger to perform at the White House, a President who sang Amazing Grace at a funeral. and a President who reads Marilyn Robinson and calls her a friend.

I wish this message would play during a couple of football games. Maybe some people would snap out of their acceptance that the trump years are normal. Springsteen clearly says they’re aren’t.

They relegated Springsteen to the "shut up and play" group way many, many years ago.
