I know I posted this before but the video created to go along with this song makes it worth doing so again. I’m so glad protest songs like this are alive and well. We just need more of them. Thanks @brucespringsteen.net brucespringsteen.net/news/2026/st...

My thoughts exactly. How do these intolerable creatures carry on in public life and continue to fool everyone that they have any moral or authority.

Bruce Springsteen - Streets Of Minneapolis (Official Audio)
Bruce Springsteen - Streets Of Minneapolis (Official Audio) YouTube video by Bruce Springsteen

I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good.

Stay free

‘He made the mundane magnificent’: Martin Parr could make a chip shop as mighty as a cathedral A brilliantly human photographer, he celebrated the overlooked, finding beauty in cheese sandwiches at a church fete or people queuing for ice cream at the beach – all while poking fun at Britishness

Sad to hear about the death of Martin Parr. He was a photographic one off producing quirky but socially important images.
