Bruce Springsteen calls Trump administration 'corrupt, incompetent, and treasonous' in tour opener

Bruce Springsteen spent part of the opening night of his tour calling out President Donald Trump. “The mighty E Street Band is here tonight to call upon the righteous power of art, of music, of rock and roll, in dangerous times," the Boss told the Manchester, England, crowd from the Co-Op Live stage in the first few moments of the show. "In my home, the America I love, the America I've written about, and 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 experience to rise with us, raise your voices against the authoritarianism, and let freedom ring."
