Springsteen denounces at film premiere "hate" in the USA

US rock star Bruce Springsteen spoke out against the increasing “hatred” in the US society at a film premiere in New York and at the same time defended the United States as “land of hope and dreams”, for which it is worth fighting. “At the moment there are events every day that remind us that we are going through particularly dangerous times,” said the 76-year-old musician at the premiere of the film “Springsteen: Deliver Me From Nowhere”.

He was on the road for his life as a “kind of musical ambassador for America” ​​and “tried to grasp the distance between the American reality in which we often stay behind our ideals and to grasp the American dream,” said Springsteen, while playing a few chords on his guitar.



But even though his country, “as it feels”, is “a country of hope and dreams, not the fear or split or censorship by the government or hate,” said Springsteen. “It’s worth fighting for this America.”

The rock star, also called “Der Boss” by his fans, is a sharp critic of US President Donald Trump. During his tour of this year’s tour, he told his fans that his home country was currently led by a “corrupt, incompetent and treacherous government”. He asked the audience to stand up “against authoritarianism” and for freedom.


Trump repeatedly expressed himself over jumping steels and described him as “very overvalued”. Artists such as Beyoncé and Taylor Swift, who had critically commented on him, also attacked the US President.

The filmmography “Springsteen: Deliver Me From Nowhere” by director Scott Cooper revolves around the creation of the album “Nebraska” (1982), which is one of the most important works of Springste. The musician is played by Jeremy Allen White, who became known with the successful TV series “The Bear”. The film is scheduled to come to German cinemas on October 23.
