"Streets of Minneapolis" - explosive start and political scandal in Springsteen
Automatic translation. Read the Russian original
Bruce Springsteen's new song "Streets of Minneapolis", released shortly after its release, instantly became a hit: a day later it topped the iTunes listening charts in the US, and a day later - in 19 countries. The debut of the single on YouTube, where the first day gained more than 3 million views, was also sensational. The song, which became a protest anthem, sparked an old feud between Springsteen and Donald Trump. "Streets of Minneapolis" is a ballad about the operations of the US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) in Minneapolis that led to the deaths of people. The song, written and released by Springsteen in a short space of time, is a direct challenge to ICE and the Trump administration. The White House reacted to the song, calling it "detached from reality" and "politically motivated." Presidential spokeswoman Abigail Jackson called the song "accidental" and said it contained "inappropriate opinions and inaccurate information."
