Looks like an all timer of a show last night. Wish I could make this tour. So proud of Bruce for being so outspoken. It must be so cathartic at these shows. Over here studying in Austria for a few months and it is such a strange dissonance between the nightmare at home in the US and the relative normalcy but slight tension I feel here in Europe.
I have a million problems with my country and have no illusions about what we truly are and our dark history. But I can’t help but feel like it’s worth fighting for the best of what we still have and working towards building an America that is truly free for everyone— not just its citizens.

“Honesty, honor, humility, compassion, thoughtfulness, morality, true strength, and decency — don’t let anybody tell you that these things don’t matter anymore. They do. They are at the heart of the kind of men and women we are, the kind of citizens we are, the kind of country we’ll be leaving to our children. So many of our elected leaders have failed us that this American tragedy can only be stopped by the American people. So join us and let’s fight for the America that we love.”

Now judge, judge I got debts no honest man could pay
The bank was holdin' my mortgage and takin' my house away
Now I ain't sayin' that make me an innocent man
But it was more than all this that put that gun in my hand
Well, your honor, I do believe I'd be better off dead
And if you can take a man's life for the thoughts that's in his head
Then won't you sit back in that chair and think it over just one more time
And let 'em shave off my hair and put me on that execution line

sometimes it's like someone took a knife, baby, edgy and dull and cut a six inch valley through the middle of my skull
That's us, holding on each other's wings
Midst all these beautiful things
That's us. We reach for each other's hearts
And slowly fall apart
