The rising

In an interview with Rolling Stone, Bruce Springsteen offers up some of the most insightful, eloquent and soulful glimpses into the role of artists in society and the real stakes of the upcoming election:

I think that this particular election is, at the core, a debate about the soul of the nation. I think we can move toward greater economic justice for all of our citizens, or we cannot. I think we can move toward a sane, responsible foreign policy, or we cannot. For me, these are issues that go right to the heart of the spiritual life of the nation. That is something I have written about. It cannot be abandoned and is worth fighting and fighting and fighting for.

Amen.
