A meme that I created to honor Bruce Springsteen

This is not an image from the Manchester U.K. 2025 concert (obviously).


I used this particular image since there was a solid place to insert a text of abundance of words on it.


I placed Bruce's inspiring and true Manchester quote verbatim since it spoke to me.










Thank you, Bruce Springsteen.

I saw him in concert in 1978 and 1980, and I'd bet he still has that guitar.. It's hard to believe it's been 45 years.

Except, I already chose another quote of his for our next Call to Action email, so I’ll have to keep this for another episode. Maybe for right before the 4th of July.

“The last check on power after the checks and balances of government have failed, are the people. You and me. It’s in the union of people around a common set of values. Now that’s all that stands between democracy and authoritarianism.”
- Bruce Springsteen, during a concert in Manchester, England, 5-14-25

Like it?

Probably something the kids would say these days. But it's literal in this case.

Every celebrity needs to make their statement. They are visible and loved, the nazis wouldn't dare do anything to them
