“Minneapolis” is no “Ohio”

In late January Bruce Springsteen released a song called “Steets of Minneapolis” to protest immigration enforcement and the deaths of Renee Good and Alex Pretti. And to his credit, Springsteen is not only giving the proceeds to the families but, set up a fund for Good’s six year old. The song itself is total garbage. The rhythm is off and the lyrics sound “shoehorned.” The song is poorly arranged and produced “Born to Run” this is not. This song is so bad, it sounds like a song Trey Parker and Matt Stone wrote for a “South Park” episode!

“Ohio” this is not. It took Neil Young 15 minutes to compose “Ohio.” That’s probably what Springsteen spent on this effort. But Bruce Springsteen is no Neil Young!

Springsteen lives nowhere near the people that are facing deportation. His grandkids wouldn’t be caught dead at The “Learing” Center! Springsteen lives in Colts Neck, NJ and Wellington, FL. But, you can see him fixing the F-150 in the front yard with a cold one nearby next to Fred Sanford’s house in the underprivileged town of Beverly Hills, CA!
