WIRTW #761: the ‘boss’ edition

By Jon Hyman on May 30, 2025
Email this postTweet this postLike this postShare this post on LinkedIn

For over 50 years, Bruce Springsteen has been the voice of working people, dreamers, outcasts, and truth-tellers. His songs tell the story of real America—the kind with grit, heartbreak, hope, and heart.

And he’s never been afraid to speak out—against injustice, against corruption, and yes, against authoritarian wannabes who mistake cruelty for strength.

So it’s no surprise that Donald Trump has launched a full-on war against The Boss. He’s called him a “radical left loser,” a “dried up prune,” and a “dumb rock star.”

Cool. Because if Bruce is everything Trump hates, then maybe Bruce represents everything America should be.

June 14 is Donald Trump’s birthday.

Let’s take it back.

Let’s turn it into something worth celebrating—not a day about narcissism and lies, but a day about music, truth, resistance, and unity.

We’re calling on Congress to declare June 14 as National Bruce Springsteen Day.

  • A day to crank the volume.
  • A day to remember the power of protest and poetry.
  • A day to honor a man who’s never stopped fighting for the soul of this country.

Because you can’t start a fire without a spark.

And Bruce Springsteen’s been sparking the American spirit since 1973.

Sign the petition. Share it loud.

Let’s reclaim the day—and remind the world who really represents the heart of America.

Let’s make June 14 National Bruce Springsteen Day.

Because America deserves better than a birthday party for Trump.
