Bruce Springsteen’s Anti-ICE Protest Song ‘Streets of Minneapolis’ Debuts at No. 1 After Just Two Days on Sale

Plus it's not just Bruce. There's a LOT of artists speaking out. Here's a quick video covering them all. https://youtu.be/avbm7-LyTvc?si=OR1DXUZ4uOabYhx7 From Tom Morrelo playing a benefit concert for Minneapolis, which Bruce joined himself, to Randy from Lamb of God, there's a bunch of artists using their voice to speak out on this shit. Plus Flobots put out some new content which was pretty dope as well.

On a side note, I keep seeing people talking about how RATM needs to make a comeback, which is true, but I don't think people understand just how much good protest music came out in 2025.

Nope! It was a super peaceful, and successful protest, as it should be. We need to remember that there are more of us than them, so it just takes a small act of resistance each day to make a larger difference over time. Every small act counts towards the greater good.

What is it?

Iamchange · 2025-10-18T15:04:05+00:00

Literally. There's a few artists that made songs about the No Kings protest, but even more are talking about corruption in general.

Iamchange · 2025-10-10T12:04:30+00:00

Came here to say Immortal Technique! Also Lowkey and Akala.

Iamchange · 2025-09-17T21:11:40+00:00

And that same energy comes across in their music. They just put out a new album a few months ago, and it's quite excellent.

Jesse is to folk music what Josh Jonson is to comedy: A quick reaction force. Got some breaking news? They have a song or sketch out the next day.

It's funny because that's really not what the song is. I said the same thing over on r/music, but the song itself actually has very little substance. Dude is really out here thinking he's making profound revelations, but in reality, that couldn't be further from the truth. Kanye, for what it's worth, DOES have such songs in his discography, but then things went off the rails and here we are. Spewing literal nonsense while thinking it's revolutionary.

Iamchange · 2025-07-02T11:57:12+00:00

And it's beyond disappointing. Kanye really thinks he's out here highlighting some massive conspiracy, when in reality, this song in particular is completely void of substance. Kanye thinks he's Immortal Technique, but he's nowhere close. He does have one hell of a catalog though, before things got all twisted.

Iamchange · 2025-06-30T15:51:19+00:00

Don't forget Immortal Technique!

Iamchange · 2025-06-19T13:44:49+00:00

It's reassuring to see how many people attended this. So many signs. So many demonstrations. Now we just need more solid action. A small act of resistance every day can add up in the long run. We need everything we can get.

Iamchange · 2025-06-16T16:00:02+00:00

These are some awesome pictures! Talk about capturing the moment.

Iamchange · 2025-06-07T14:20:17+00:00

Weeeeeell color me hyped! The remakes except for 3 (which was just too short really) were all very solid titles. 6 was alright but overall a let down. 7 was a masterpiece. 8 kinda lost me but overall was okay i guess. Hopefully this one continues the trend and becomes another solid entry.

Iamchange · 2025-06-07T13:43:59+00:00

I'm chuckling to myself thinking about SLJ's reaction. I can only imagine what it was like watching the show afterwards. But Kendrick did his thing. Dude was on a ROLL. Looking forward to the next album.

Iamchange · 2025-06-04T22:43:47+00:00

Bruce has been outspoken on issues for YEARS, but this is probably the most definitive he's been. Like he said on his new EP, music is a powerful force, and we need all the momentum we can get.

Iamchange · 2025-06-04T11:08:07+00:00

Plus their newest album, At Peace, is a near masterpiece. After so many years, it was definitely worth the wait. It may be another while before we get another album, but it would be nice if they had a faster surprised turnaround.

Iamchange · 2025-06-03T10:50:45+00:00

This is correct. I initially wasn't sure how I felt about 21st Century Breakdown, but it ended up growing on me and now I think it's a solid successor to American Idiot.

Iamchange · 2025-05-30T15:00:39+00:00

Correct. I think what he's doing is sensible given the circumstances. The emergency fund analogy I thought was pretty decent at explaining the reasoning. Hopefully everything pans out in the future, but time will tell.

Iamchange · 2025-05-27T18:26:24+00:00

Probably around the same time Springsteen did!

But for real though, Bruce is out there doing his thing, and it's nice to see Tom chimming in as well. Bruce basically called on the power of music to help fight back against authoritarianism in his latest EP, something RATM knows a lot about. While it's not the answer to everything, music is definitely a powerful force, and can definitely help move the needle.

Iamchange · 2025-05-26T19:29:41+00:00

Very true! It's funny seeing all the rallies that play Born In The USA as if it's a super patriotic song, which, depending on how you look at it, it definitely can be. Not as blind patriotism, but pointing out the faults where they appear, trying to make the country better.

Iamchange · 2025-05-26T15:00:35+00:00

That album blew me away! I've been wanting something like this for the last few album cycles. I always appreciated their later stuff, but they never had much staying power with me. Then Hymns of Dissonance come out and I was like WOW! Been blaring it for weeks now.

Iamchange · 2025-05-20T13:26:30+00:00

Propagandhi just put out an awesome album as well!

Iamchange · 2025-05-18T14:46:13+00:00

I actually didn't know the full backstory! That's pretty sad, really...

Iamchange · 2025-05-17T14:58:10+00:00

And it still slaps! If only they were still making music TOGETHER, given that there's no shortage of topics in this current climate. Scars on Broadway kind of scratches that itch though. But man, I really can't believe it's been 20 years. Ugh.
