100 percent you're going to see some right wing jerks complaining that Springsteen has gone woke because they never once actually listened to his lyrics before
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.

Oh dang I love that bit of Greek mythology, the tale of Castor and Castor and Castor and Castor and Castor and Castor and Pollux
Castor, one of the stars marking Gemini's twins — and one of the brightest in the sky — is actually a sextuple star, a *six*-star system! Now, for the first time, astronomers have split some of those tightly bound stars.

Every time someone says "I can't write X, editors will never buy it" an angel loses its wings

Those shining adamantine feathers, sharper than death, slice all creatures in their path to molecule-thin ribbons, blood raining down onto acres of land rendered poisonous for decades.

So maybe reconsider
