Bruce "mashup".....

A note from Neil Young:

Since size matters these days to some people. Average recent audience levels: Taylor Swift - 67,000 Bruce Springsteen - 35,000 Kid Rock - 6,000 Donald Trump - 5,600 Ted Nugent - 1,500

....and Bruce will be repeating his thoughts in every country he plays on this European tour and then - hopefully - every stop in an upcoming US tour - and, yes, to audiences only Trump could dream about speaking in front of. Get use to it Donny!!

Some powerful s**t being said here......Listen and share! Some hopeful inspiration for our dark times.
