Springsteen's Berlin concert echoes with history and a stark warning

On Wednesday, Bruce Springsteen performed at Berlin's Olympic Stadium and denounced the U.S. administration as corrupt, incompetent, and treasonous while urging fans to oppose authoritarianism.
This politically charged speech followed similar condemnations of President Trump during Springsteen’s Manchester concert last month and his Liverpool show in June.
Springsteen addressed tens of thousands of fans in the historic stadium built for the 1936 Olympics, integrating short speeches between songs captioned in German on large screens.
He urged everyone who supports democracy and values the core principles of America to join together, speak out loudly, oppose authoritarian rule, and allow liberty to prevail.
The concert echoed Springsteen’s 1988 East Berlin show, which drew 160,000 fans and contributed to anti-communist protests leading to the Berlin Wall’s fall, underscoring his call to defend democratic values today.
