“Catch-22 says they have a right to do anything we can't stop them from doing" What will you do to stop them? Question for public office holders and the American press.

If you have ever performed any form of Jazz, Blues, Rock n Roll, R&B, Soul, Funk, Hip Hop, Great American Songbook, actually any form of popular song from anywhere… you will find a reflection of your journey in this very well written essay. Thank you Christian McBride, and The Tonearm.

Springsteen 'Badlands' 11.05.80 day after Reagan was elected. "I don't know what you guys think about what happened last night, but I think it's pretty frightening. You guys are young there's gonna be a lot of people depending on you... this is for you." Reagan led directly to Trump. NO KINGS

Bruce Springsteen 'Piece De Resistance' Passaic N.J. 9/19/78 A good friend sent me a cassette copy of this bootleg in 1978, it changed my life. The performance of 'Darkness On The Edge of Town' is my favorite 4 minutes of Rock n Roll.

We're reminding President Trump what it means to be born in the U.S.A. We're honored that the one and only Bruce Springsteen trusted us with use of his iconic anthem ahead of our landmark Supreme Court case, where we’re challenging President Trump’s attempt to overturn birthright citizenship.
