A meme that I created to honor Bruce Springsteen

[Niagara]

This is not an image from the Manchester U.K. 2025 concert (obviously).


I used this particular image since there was a solid place to insert a text of abundance of words on it.


I placed Bruce's inspiring and true Manchester quote verbatim since it spoke to me.

Thank you, Bruce Springsteen.

[LuckyCharms]

1. K&R

Very nice.

[Niagara]

Coming from a normal, empathetic, human being.

[Ilsa]

7. Thank you Niagara. I bet Bruce would be honored by it. nt

[Niagara]

20. I would hope that he would be honored, Ilsa

[Harker]

8. Inspiring work, Niagara!

I saw him in concert in 1978 and 1980, and I'd bet he still has that guitar.. It's hard to believe it's been 45 years.

[Clouds Passing]

16. Saw him in 1980. He did the crowdsurfing thing.

[Niagara]

21. Thank you, Harker

Do you want to know how old I was in 1978?

[Harker]

22. Sure I do!

Single digit?

[Niagara]

24. It is a single digit!

[Harker]

25. Gads.

I must've been 19.

9. Quote of the week!

Except, I already chose another quote of his for our next Call to Action email, so I’ll have to keep this for another episode. Maybe for right before the 4th of July.

[Niagara]

23. Nice. What quote have you already chosen, calimary?

[calimary]

30. This one:

“The last check on power after the checks and balances of government have failed, are the people. You and me. It’s in the union of people around a common set of values. Now that’s all that stands between democracy and authoritarianism.”
- Bruce Springsteen, during a concert in Manchester, England, 5-14-25

Like it?

[Niagara]

39. I love it, calimary

Excellent choice!

[calimary]

41. Thanks, my friend!

[Meowmee]

11. Great meme 😁👏🏻

[Niagara]

27. Thank you, Meowmee

[True Dough]

12. That's a Boss meme!

Probably something the kids would say these days. But it's literal in this case.

[Niagara]

28. Thank you, True

It is boss! I still use that word but not generally in writing.

[Deuxcents]

13. Love this! Definitely passing it on to my friends 🙏

[Niagara]

33. Thank you, Deuxcents

Keep passing it on.

[WiVoter]

14. Beautiful!

Thank you for sharing.

[Niagara]

34. Thank you, WiVoter

You're entirely welcome.

[Blue Owl]

15. This could really be an integral part of resisting the fascism and saving democracy

[Niagara]

35. I wholly agree with your sentiment, Blue Owl

[electric_blue68]

17. Nicely designed! 👍

[Niagara]

36. Thank you, electric_blue68

[Clouds Passing]

[Ranting Randy]

19. Thanks for the video and the meme!

[Niagara]

38. You're entirely welcome, Ranting Randy

I checked out your profile and noticed that you've been here for almost a year.

I don't remember if I've welcomed you to DU or not... welcome to DU.

[Ranting Randy]

42. Thank you for the welcome.

[Bayard]

29. Really good one!

I'm saving it.

31. Bruce is a true patriot.

[BonnieJW]

32. Tell it Bruce!

Every celebrity needs to make their statement. They are visible and loved, the nazis wouldn't dare do anything to them

40. In the mid 70s a friend brought Newsweek to my house. Bruce was on the cover and it stated he would

be bigger than Dylan. Both are legends. Quite a prediction though.
