Robert Plant has publicly expressed his support for Bruce Springsteen after he delivered a series of speeches opposing Donald Trump.
While introducing the song “Friends” during his performance with Saving Grace in Tampere, Finland on May 18, Plant said: “Right now in England, which is where we come from – not quite the land of the ice and snow, Bruce Springsteen is touring right now in the UK and he’s putting out some really serious stuff. So tune in to him. And let’s all hope that we can be…”
The band then began performing “Friends”.
Plant’s comments were in reference to speeches Springsteen has delivered during his European tour.
In the tour’s opening show in Manchester in the UK on May 14, Springsteen said: “In my home, the America I love, the America I’ve written about, that has been a beacon of hope and liberty for 250 years is currently in the hands of a corrupt, incompetent, and treasonous administration. Tonight, we ask all who believe in democracy and the best of our American experiment to rise with us, raise your voices against authoritarianism and let freedom ring!”
Trump responded to Springsteen’s speeches in a post on the Truth Social website, calling him “highly overrated” and “dumb as a rock”.
No one cares what Bobby thinks politically he also ranted about taxes in the entire earls court run, and the then governing labour party
