'There is no one coming to save us': Review of Springsteen in Boston
My advice to anyone who enjoys the work of Mr. Bruce Springsteen, does not enjoy the work of Mr. Donald J. Trump, and who hasn't yet been to the "Land of Hope and Dreams Tour": Get yourself a ticket to Philly or DC, stat!
I saw him in Boston on Sunday, and it was even more than I expected: Tight, focused, angry, celebratory, and — like all Springsteen shows — anchored in hope for better days ahead. One of my many favorite quotes from his four speeches: "So many of our elected leaders have failed us that this American tragedy can only be stopped by the American people. You. There is no one coming to save us. We’ve got to do it ourselves. So join us and let’s fight for the America that we love."
More thoughts to come, but in the meantime, here's the review I wrote for Boston.com. A key excerpt:
Bruce maybe said it best in his most impassioned speech of the night, before a chilling version of “My City of Ruins” in which the city in question had become an entire country struggling to come back from the brink. It was evident from his words that while he, and we, might be angry, there’s cause for hope if we’re willing to fight for it.
“Honesty. Honor. Humility. Character. Integrity. Truth. Compassion. Humanity. Thoughtfulness. Morality. True strength and decency. Don’t let anybody tell you that these things don’t matter anymore because they do,” Springsteen said, to the loudest ovation of the night. “They are at the heart of the kind of men and women we are, the kind of citizens we want to be, the kind of country we want to leave to our children.”
Much of this may sound heavy, but let’s face it: Springsteen fans have never come to his shows for a party, not really. They’re there to feel something. And the motivation to keep going, to speak up, to hold on to hope even when your country is not living up to its ideals, was very much felt by the all-in Garden crowd. Springsteen may have been preaching to the choir, yes, but sometimes even the choir needs a little push to keep singing.
KQBDHN bữa nay mình cũng tò mò nên ghé vào lướt thử xem sao, kiểu xem nhanh chứ không ngồi canh từng trận. Cảm giác đầu tiên là phần kết quả bóng đá lên khá lẹ, vừa mở ra đã thấy tỷ số hiện rõ, nhìn cái là nắm được ngay chứ không phải bấm lòng vòng. Mình thích nhất là họ để kèm bảng xếp hạng ngay gần đó, đang xem kết quả thì tiện liếc qua coi thứ hạng thay đổi thế nào, đỡ phải nhảy qua trang khác. Giao diện nhìn sạch, chữ dễ đọc, mấy khối thông tin chia ra gọn gàng nên lướt trên điện thoại cũng không bị rối. Nói chung mình vào xem…
Thinking about exploring the relationship between nature and wellbeing, I find the smaller practical questions more interesting than a quick conclusion. Noticing a familiar outdoor place can offer a simple starting point for thinking about our surroundings. It also gives the phrase ecopsychology and wellbeing a clearer meaning than a label on its own. I would probably come back to this question after trying to work through one concrete example rather than deciding immediately. How could a nature activity leave space for different personal responses?
