If it looks like fascism, sounds like fascism, acts like fascism, dresses like fascism, talks like fascism, kills like fascism and lies like fascism, boys & girls it's fucking fascism. It's here, it's now, it's in my city, it's in your city and it must be resisted, protested, defended against, stood up to, exposed, ousted, overthrown and driven out. By you and by me.

I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis,

Titled "Streets of Minneapolis", the protest song pays tribute to Pretti and Good, while denouncing "King Trump's private army", who have "guns belted to their coats" and who "trample on our rights". The lyrics partly read: "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."

In 1974 to '75, Springsteen rented the house at 7½ West End Court in Long Branch, New Jersey. The 1920-built cottage, which had two bedrooms and one bath, was where he wrote his third album, Born to Run-the work that would launch his career to national renown. Spanning 828 square feet, the diminutive house stands a block and a half from Long Branch Beach.

What's one movie you could watch a million times? For me, it's Walk Hard starring John C. Reilly. The parody of music biopics takes a crack at every cliche of the genrefrom over-romanticizing the moment an artist wrote their famous song, to how quickly these career-spanning movies breeze through their life. Walk Hard is also just packed to the brim with ridiculous jokes, and anything that makes me laugh in 2025 is a win.

The team at American Holidayscompiled a list of eight must-see spots that will help explain and elaborate on The Boss' legacy. Start your pilgrimage in Freehold, New Jersey, at 39 1/2 Institute Street, the modest white house where Springsteen grew up in the late 1950s, and where his first glimpses of small-town Americana began to take shape.

Joelle Garguilo: Something I have been thinking about a lot in life is how our experiences, whether it's with your loved ones or colleagues, in the end, it all boils down to the stories that we are left with. With that said, what are the stories that you will tell decades from now about your time in this film?

Nebraska is where Bruce chose truth over expectation-a choice that still reverberates through everything he's written since,

"We threw out the keyboards and played basically as a three-piece,"

"I think that he is a disgusting display of not appreciating what was handed to him, in this country as being an American, the success that he has had. The fact that he duped us all with one of the most anti-American songs ever and called it 'Born in the USA' as some sort of celebration of how great it is to be born in the USA. I'm angry at myself for not seeing it for so long and actually giving him, in my mind, the credit of being a representation of blue-collar America."

It's a true honor to open AFI Fest with 'Springsteen: Deliver Me From Nowhere.' AFI has always championed bold, meaningful storytelling, and I'm grateful to be part of that tradition. While Bruce's roots will forever be in New Jersey, Los Angeles played a profound role in shaping his artistic voice. I want to thank Bob Gazzale and everyone at AFI for this extraordinary privilege,

Bruce Springsteen has wrapped up the most successful tour of his career, pulling in a whopping $729.7 million and selling 4.9 million tickets.
