Bruce Springsteen sounds surprisingly at the New York Film Festival
Last night Bruce Springsteen gave surprise performance of “Land of Hope and Dreams” After the screening of the biographical film ‘Springsteen: Deliver me from Nowhere’ at the New York Film Festival.
It happened that at the end of the projection, New Jersey’s rocker rose on stage for an improvised performance of “Land of Hope and Dreams”. The boss thanked the actor Jeremy Allen Whitewho plays it in the film, for “having played a much more beautiful version than me”, together with Jeremy Strongwhich ironically defined “a very, much more beautiful version” than its manager Jon Landau. Springsteen also remembered his parents Douglas and Adele, played in the film by Stephen Graham And Gaby Hoffman. “Everyone left, so it’s nice to have them in the movie.”
He also addressed a thought to the President of the United States Donald Trump and to his administration. “In these days we have daily events that remind us that we are experiencing particularly dangerous times. I spent my life traveling, I traveled around the world as a sort of musical ambassador to America, trying to measure the distance between the American reality, where we often less than our ideals of the American dream. But for many people out there, continues to be a land of hope and dreams, not of fear, divisions, government censorship. That America is worth fighting for.
