Bruce Springsteen Releases "Purple Rain" Performance Video from Minneapolis Tour Opener
""We are here in celebration and defense of our American ideals, our democracy, our Constitution, and our sacred American promise. The America I love... is currently in the hands of a corrupt, incompetent, racist, reckless, and treasonous administration.""
""Tonight we ask all of you to join with us in choosing hope over fear, democracy over authoritarianism, the rule of law over lawlessness, ethics over unbridled corruption, resistance over complacency, unity over division, and peace over war.""
""The 27-song set included a closing cover of Bob Dylan's 'Chimes of Freedom' and 'Long Walk Home,' which Springsteen introduced as 'a prayer for my country.'""
