Jake’s hands raising up during American Skin was both heartbreaking and the most important moment I think of the evening. It has been in my head all day. I hope to be there 10/3. I hope everyone keeps showing up, speaking out and most import-VOTE.

I have seen Bruce Springsteen play both with the E Street Band and on solo tours many times. Last night was different. Bruce is on a mission. The set list is carefully curated. He is holding this administration accountable in ways Congress and SCOTUS are not and he is calling them all out.

Concert scene -Tom Morello and Brice Soringsteen both dressed in black play guitar. Morello wears a ball cap and red neckerchief. Jake Clemmons in back holds his hands up during song American Skin (41 Shots).
