Bruce Springsteen, Eddie Vedder 🎤 Protest 💪 "Inhumane" Border Policy❗


Rock legends Bruce Springsteen and Eddie Vedder both interrupted their live sets this week to unload their thoughts on President Donald Trump's much-criticized "zero-tolerance" border policy.


At his Springsteen on Broadway show Tuesday, Bruce broke from his usual script to condemn the "inhumane" treatment of thousands of children who have been separated from their families by the strict immigration policies set up by the Trump administration.

He then played his 1995 protest song, "The Ghost of Tom Joad," which over the last 10 years has featured guitarist Tom Morello of Rage Against the Machine, transforming the acoustic masterpiece into an impassioned call to activism.

During an extended intro to the band's Riot Act fan favorite "Love Boat Captain," the frontman told the crowd, "I would like to send this one to the guy who is in the White House back in the United States.

Later in the set, Vedder started to rant again, before performing the topical Vs. songs "Daughter" and "W.M.A.," touching on mothers being separated from their children and asking the audience to sing with him the lyric, "Police man...border man."
