A Tool of the control mechaniism. Bruce Springsteen.
Definitely sounds like Springsteen / AI wrote this one...horrendous
Through the winter’s ice and cold
Down Nicollet AvenueA city aflame fought fire and ice
‘Neath an occupier’s boots
King Trump’s private army from the DHS
Guns belted to their coats
Came to Minneapolis to enforce the law
Or so their story goes
Against smoke and rubber bullets
By the dawn’s early light
Citizens stood for justice
Their voices ringing through the night
And there were bloody footprints
Where mercy should have stood
And two dead left to die on snow-filled streets
Alex Pretti and Renee Good
Oh our Minneapolis, I hear your voice
Singing through the bloody mist
We’ll take our stand for this land
And the stranger in our midst
Here in our home they killed and roamed
In the winter of ’26
We’ll remember the names of those who died
On the streets of Minneapolis
Trump’s federal thugs beat up on
His face and his chest
Then we heard the gunshots
And Alex Pretti lay in the snow, dead
Their claim was self defense, sir
Just don’t believe your eyes
It’s our blood and bones
And these whistles and phones
Against Miller and Noem’s dirty lies
Oh our Minneapolis, I hear your voice
Crying through the bloody mist
We’ll remember the names of those who died
On the streets of Minneapolis
Now they say they’re here to uphold the law
But they trample on our rights
If your skin is black or brown my friend
You can be questioned or deported on sight
In chants of ICE out now
Our city’s heart and soul persists
Through broken glass and bloody tears
On the streets of Minneapolis
Oh our Minneapolis, I hear your voice
Singing through the bloody mist
Here in our home they killed and roamed
In the winter of ’26
We’ll take our stand for this land
And the stranger in our midst
We’ll remember the names of those who died
On the streets of Minneapolis
We’ll remember the names of those who died
On the streets of Minneapolis
Dreadful cringe, reeking of psy-op. For sure the "community" radio stations will put this in heavy rotation.

DeleteIs Bruce really putting this out? Writing songs to suppport staged events...All time low for this musical legend.
Delete2020 allowed me to see who was part of the enemy list. Springsteen was on the list. When I look back on his influence on me, I cringe. Thanks for your comment, best, db
Deletewell it looks like these specific inorganic happenings are complete as far as deaths go, or he’d have to add another verse with more names.
ReplyDeletei very much enjoy this blog. i’ve been reading it ever since JLB mentioned you a few months ago now. There are some channels you post that i’d never heard of and love that theyre small and have been around for a while.
and also relate to realizing all my musical heroes are wankers.
luckily most of my programming was pretty harmless nineties poppunk. but a few of the bands that meant something turned out to stand for nothing. nofx just released a song called minnesota nazis that is equally as horrendous as the bruce song above. ai would of been better in their case. my favorite band rancid never said a thing about any of the going ons on their newest 2023 album…when there was plenty to talk about for so called anti establishment “punks”.
I will leave you with 2 artists i gained a little hope from which has been Van Morrison and Ian Hunter latest releases the last few years. At least theyve addressed some things-whether its genuine or not, i am aware they could just be playing a part.
take care.
