Bruce Springsteen's Message to America: A Protest. A Prayer. A Wake-Up Call.

Bruce Springsteen opened his new tour tonight not with fanfare—but with a warning. From a stage in Manchester, he sent a message home. Not of glory days—but of grief, resilience, and reckoning. Three songs. Three statements. A country in crisis. This is what it looks like when an artist holds a mirror to America.
