“When this loser Springsteen comes back home to his own City of Ruins in his head, he\u2019ll realize his Glory Days are behind him,” spokesperson Steven Cheung insisted<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
\n\tWhen Bruce Springsteen<\/a> announced the North American leg of his Land of Hope and Dreams tour<\/a> earlier this week, he did so with another not-so-subtle jab<\/a> at President Donald Trump<\/a>. In a statement, he promised fans that he and the E Street Band would be \u201crocking your town in celebration and in defense of America \u2014 American democracy, American freedom, our American Constitution and our sacred American dream \u2013 all of which are under attack by our wannabe king and his rogue government in Washington D.C.\u201d<\/p>\n \n\tWhile such rebukes have<\/a> generated direct responses<\/a> from Trump<\/a> in the past, Springsteen\u2019s pointed tour announcement appears to have passed the president by. Rather, it took Politico<\/a><\/em> reaching out to the White House for comment to generate a response from senior communications director Steven Cheung.\u00a0<\/p>\n \n\t\u201cWhen this loser Springsteen comes back home to his own City of Ruins in his head, he\u2019ll realize his Glory Days are behind him and his fans have left him Out in the Street, putting him in a Tenth Avenue Freeze-Out because he has a severe case of Trump Derangement Syndrome that has rotted his brain.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n \n\tWhile the sentiment is obvious enough, let\u2019s just say this shaggy dog of a (born to) run-on sentence could\u2019ve used some editing. \u201cLeft him Out in the Street\u201d and \u201cputting him in a Tenth Avenue Freeze-Out\u201d feels a bit redundant. And what does it even mean for Springsteen to come \u201cback home to his own City of Ruins in his head\u201d?\u00a0<\/p>\n
