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. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good.

Wonderful concert from @brucespringsteen.net at Co-op Live. Understandably devastated by political events back home, but put on an excellent show and clearly having an absolute blast doing so
