You may have noticed that Bruce Springsteen is currently in Australia, playing ten-hour sets, and wearing the knees out of his jeans with all the sliding around on stage he’s been doing. You may have also heard that earlier this week, Donald Trump basically hung up on our Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull after a phone conversation about refugees and probably whether or not Crowded House count as an Aussie band or not.
Bruce wasn’t happy at all with this respect of disrespect, and while in Melbourne sided with our entire country by covering ‘Don’t Hang Up’, an early ’60s hit for The Orlons. He said to the crowd: “We stand before you embarrassed Americans tonight. We’re gonna use this to send a letter back home”, before kicking into the track.
Check out the original below, and read Springsteen’s former comments about Donald Trump, in which he admits he is very frightened.
