Bruce Springsteen’s anti-Trump tour is not impressing anyone. He is even getting trashed by his own hometown newspaper over the high ticket prices and expensive ‘No Kings’ merchandise for sale in the lobby.
Like so many other people in the entertainment industry, Springsteen was ruined by his Trump Derangement Syndrome.
His image as someone who writes songs for the working man is forever tarnished and without that, his act is as good as dead.

Bruce Springsteen Shredded By Hometown Paper for Anti-Trump Concert: ‘Hypocritical Crap. Profiteering over Legitimate Protest’
Bobby Olivier, a food and culture Editor and a music reporter for NJ Advance Media, took Bruce Springsteen to task this week calling the rocker’s Prudential Center concert in Newark on Monday “all hypocritical crap. Profiteering over legitimate protest.”
“Springsteen’s artistic identity, as a bleeding-heart populist who sings for the destitute and downtrodden, has never been more disconnected from his economic behavior as a touring act or businessman. The blue-collar troubadour now charges exorbitant amounts for his tickets — up to $2,900 retail for the best seats in Newark Monday; prices he agreed to despite fan backlash,” Olivier writes at NJ.com.
“He’s selling ‘No Kings’ branded flags for $90 in the arena concourse,” Olivier says of Springsteen. “And last week, his merchandise distributor got an injunction passed to ban bootleg T-shirt sales outside the venue, even as crews of independent sellers — fine examples of working-class people he’s romanticized for 50 years — hawk merch at nearly every other Prudential Center show without issue.”
Springsteen brought his anti-Trump tirades to new heights in February when he announced his “Land of Hope and Dreams’ American tour,” which has seen the New Jersey native go on the attack against President Trump from Minneapolis, Minnesota, to Los Angeles, California, to Newark, New Jersey.
Springsteen probably should have just retired years ago instead of trying to become a liberal political activist.
At least then, his musical legacy would still be intact.
