Topic: Protest Music

Musician Bruce Springsteen released a new song titled "Streets of Minneapolis," dedicated to immigrants and individuals killed during civil unrest. The lyrics criticize the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and refer to federal officers as "King Trump's private army." The track is framed as a modern ideological successor to his 1993 hit "Streets of Philadelphia," drawing accusations of political radicalization from observers.

The hosts contrast the anti-war protests of 1970s artists with the perceived compliance of modern celebrities like Jay-Z and Beyonce. They discuss how George Michael's career suffered after protesting the Iraq War and lament the lack of mainstream protest music in the current era.
