The Boss on 60 Minutes, in a segment that airs Sunday:
In the interview, Springsteen points out the direction in which the U.S. is going, by his estimation.
“I think we’ve seen things happen over the past six years that I don’t think anybody ever thought they’d ever see in the United States,” says Springsteen. “When people think of the Unites States’ identity, they don’t think of torture. They don’t think of illegal wiretapping. They don’t think of voter suppression,” he tells Pelley. “They don’t think of no habeas corpus,” he says, referring to the people being held by the U.S. government in Guantanamo Bay, Cuba.
“Those are things that are anti-American,” Springsteen says. “There’s been a whole series of things that… I never thought I’d ever see in America,” he tells Pelley. [via DRUDGE REPORT]
