Bruce Springsteen 'ready' for blowback over his latest tour
Springsteen kicked off his tour on Tuesday in Minneapolis, performing "Streets of Minneapolis," a song written after the fatal ICE shootings of Renee Nicole Good and Alex Pretti.
Despite the president’s sharp words, the 76-year-old singer told the Minnesota Star Tribune that he expects and accepts the controversy while adding he also wasn’t worried about losing fans.
"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," Springsteen said.
"Those are the rules of my game. That’s fine with me. I’ve always had a feeling about the position we play culturally and I’m still deeply committed to that idea of the band. The blowback is just part of it. I’m ready for all that," the singer stressed.
