"You want to try to meet the moment. The No Kings movement is of great import right now. When you have the opportunity to sing something where the timing is essential and if you have something powerful to sing, it elevates the moment, it elevates your job to another level. And I'm always in search of that."
"Against smoke and rubber bullets/ In the dawn's early light/ Citizens stood for justice? Their voices ringing through the night/ And there were bloody footprints/ Where mercy should have stood/ And two dead left to die on snow-filled streets/ Alex Pretti and Renee Good."
Bruce Springsteen is set to perform at the No Kings rally in St. Paul, Minnesota, on March 28th. He will sing 'Streets of Minneapolis,' a song inspired by the fatal shootings of Renee Good and Alex Pretti. Springsteen emphasized the importance of timing in music, stating that powerful songs elevate moments. The rally will also feature Joan Baez, Maggie Rogers, Jane Fonda, and Bernie Sanders. This performance precedes the start of Springsteen's 'Land of Hope and Dreams' tour with the E Street Band on March 31st.
