<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Bruce Springsteen straight-up said he does not care if he alienates part of his fan base as he prepares to launch a politically charged tour later this month. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The 76-year-old New Jersey native will kick off his “Land of Hope &amp; Dreams American Tour” in Minneapolis on March 31. Ahead of the tour, he is also scheduled to perform his cringe protest anthem “Streets of Minneapolis” at a “No Kings” rally in St. Paul on Saturday.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">“The tour is going to be political and very topical about what’s going on in the country,” Springsteen </span><a href="https://www.startribune.com/bruce-springsteen-streets-of-minneapolis-first-avenue-no-kings-rally-tom-morello-max-weinberg/601632600"><span style="font-weight: 400;">told</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;"> the Minnesota Star Tribune. “Minneapolis and St. Paul, that was the place I wanted to begin it, and I wanted to end it in Washington.”</span></p>
<p>Springsteen said he views the current political climate as one of the most consequential periods in modern American history.</p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">“I don’t know of another time when the country has been as critically challenged and our basic ideas and values as critically challenged as they are right now,” he told the outlet. “I’d have to go back to 1968 when I was 18 years old to another moment when it felt like the country was so on edge and like it felt there was simply so much at stake as far as who we are and the country we want to be and the people we want to be.”</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">When asked about potential “blowback” from critics and fans who disagree with his political views, Springsteen insisted he is not concerned.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">“I don’t worry about it,” he told the Star Tribune. “My job is very simple: I do what I want to do, I say what I want to say and then people get to say what they want to say about it.&#8221;</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">&#8220;The blowback is just part of it,&#8221; he added. &#8220;I’m ready for all that.”</span></p>
<p>Singers Joan Baez and Maggie Rogers, along with leftist actress/activist Jane Fonda, will also attend the &#8220;No Kings&#8221; rally in St. Paul this weekend.</p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Springsteen was </span><a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/bruce-springsteen-releases-cringe-protest-song-about-minneapolis"><span style="font-weight: 400;">roundly mocked</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;"> for releasing “Streets of Minneapolis” earlier this year, a song written in response to leftist agitators being killed after confrontations with federal immigration agents. </span><span style="font-weight: 400;">The lyrics, filled with anti-ICE and anti-Trump propaganda, are about as subtle as a freight train.</span></p>
