Bruce Springsteen calls Donald Trump 'corrupt, incompetent and treasonous' at UK concert
Bruce Springsteen isn't pulling any punches in 'dangerous times.' The Boss opened the first show of the E Steet Band's European tour on Wednesday, May 14, at the Co-op Live in Manchester, U.K., with a call to raise voices against authoritarianism. Springsteen's fiery salvo was a spirited takedown of President Donald Trump. 'The mighty E Street Band is here tonight to call upon the righteous power of art, of music, of rock n' roll in dangerous times,' said Springsteen before the night's first song, 'The Land of Hope and Dreams,' according to live streams. 'In my home, the America I love, the America I've written about that has been a beacon of hope and liberty for 250 years is currently in the hands of a corrupt, incompetent and treasonous administration. Tonight, we ask all who believe in democracy and the best of our American spirit to rise with us, raise your voices against authoritarianism and let freedom ring. This is 'Land of Hope and Dreams.' ' Later, Springsteen dedicated the live debut of 'Rainmaker,' from 2020's 'Letter to You,' to 'Our dear leader.' The track tells a story of a people in a drought with 'parched crops' who are desperate for relief. 'Rainmaker take everything you have, sometimes folks need to bеlieve in something so bad, so bad, so bad,' sang Springsteen. The show featured a new setlist compared to the concerts of 2024 and 2023, including 'Death to My Hometown,' 'Murder Incorporated,' 'House of Thousand Guitars' and 'Born in the U.S.A.' A cover of Bob Dylan's 'Chimes of Freedom' closed the show. 'Take this home with you,' Springsteen said. Howard Bloom of Ottawa was at the show. 'As a Canadian I often wonder if the world understands how they see America today, not just your President but as a direct result your country,' said Bloom via email prior to the show. 'That may not be fair, but the world is very upset (as I know are many Americans).' The 16-date tour is the final leg of the critically acclaimed E Street tour that began Feb. 1, 2023, at the Amalie Arena in Tampa. Springsteen dubbed the run 'The Land of Hope and Dreams Tour,' and suggested that a set list, and thematic, change-up was in the works. Springsteen had refrained from speaking about political issues from the stage of E Street Band shows for the majority of his career. 'One of the artists' jobs to make sense of existence and to make sense of the current times that you live in, and to contextualize those times,' said Springsteen previously to Variety. 'Every artist does it in a different way. So I've got that on my mind, and I'm sure it'll be reflected in our next leg of the tour.' The next show is Saturday, May 17, back at the Co-op Live in Manchester.

Tampa unveils new art installation at city center
TAMPA, Fla. (BLOOM) — The City of Tampa is expanding its public art collection with the unveiling of a new large-scale sculpture, Open House, a dynamic and interactive piece that symbolizes the transformation of ideas into reality. Florida State Fair adds new rides and merch for 2025 The 28-foot artwork, created by Rhode Island-based artists Erik Carlson and Ericka Carpenter, will be officially revealed Jan 29 at 3:00 p.m. at City Center (2555 E Hanna Avenue, Tampa, FL 33610). Mayor Jane Castor, along with Ann Eliza Taylor of the City of Tampa Public Art Committee and the artists themselves, will speak at the event, highlighting the significance of public art in shaping Tampa's cultural and visual landscape. Open House is more than just a sculpture—it's an immersive experience. The piece draws inspiration from childhood building blocks, representing the process of construction and growth that happens at City Center. It invites visitors to walk through its open structure and discover a hidden layer of meaning: over 300 Tampa street names, submitted by residents, are etched into its colorful panels, connecting the community directly to the artwork. Designed to reflect Tampa's vibrant sunrises and sunsets, Open House stands as a bold symbol of imagination and progress, echoing the city's spirit of transformation. 'Public art preserves and tells Tampa's story in a beautiful and thought-provoking way,' said Mayor Jane Castor. 'It also makes art accessible to everyone, which is incredibly important, particularly for younger generations. I strongly believe visual art is one of the strongest statements a community can make to show its values, and we are grateful to continue growing our collection.' Tampa's public art collection now includes over 800 pieces, valued at approximately $19 million. Notable works include: 'Transportation' (1899) at the University of Tampa, the city's oldest public artwork. 'Lightning' by Jonathan Borofsky, a towering sculpture in front of Amalie Arena. 'Visual Welcome' by Yaacov Agam and 'The Wave' by MaryAnn Ungar, which enhance Bayshore Boulevard's scenic path. With more installations planned—such as upcoming state-of-the-art sculptures for the Tampa Convention Center—Tampa continues to solidify its place as a city that values and invests in the power of public art.
