    Bruce Springsteen most popular song is “born in the U.SA” and talks about how great America is. (For those not understanding this remark, the song is a critique but I stand by what I said. Because so many say America is great and Bruce says. Let me tell you what American really is. I was being sarcastic. i guess it wasn’t as obvious as I thought. ).

    This new song is heartfelt. And talks about Alex and Renee. The song is called “on the streets of Minneapolis”.

    If you go to the YouTube video there are a lot of comments that are positive about this. https://youtu.be/GDaPdpwA4Iw

    Music and art has always been a way to unite people in trying times.

    For you young wipersnappers. Bruce Springsteen is a big name. He’s been making music for a very long time.

    He’s more popular with people age 50 and up. But also very popular with rural people.

    Him making this , targets the right people that need to hear it.

        Yes. I should have clarified what I meant. The song "this is America " childish Gambino is also about how great America is.

          I feel like you’re either not explaining your understanding well, or being purposely obtuse with this comment. “This is America” is literally about how shitty America is becoming

            Yes. That’s how sarcasm works.

            You say something like

            “Isn’t it great how now that trump has arrested all the illegal criminals, the country is so safe for Americans.”

            But really I’m pointing out how the opposite is true. By saying an intentional obvious lie.

                Verbal inflection is difficult to portray in written form.

                I even clarified it. So that’s on other people for not taking 2 seconds to think.
