The Boss didn't call for aid, but it's good to know that Bruce Springsteen has Neil Young 's axe in the ongoing war between musicians and President Donald Trump . The Canadian-American rocker laid into the president in a post to his website on Tuesday, asking him to get his priorities straight and focus on the business of running the country.

Springsteen has never been one to shy away from political topics. His 1984 hit " Born in the U.S.A. ," for example, tells of the disillusionment and alienation a Vietnam War veteran faces on his return to the U.S. But that doesn't mean all politics-related rumors involving Springsteen are true.

Bruce Springsteen and Donald Trump aren't new foes. But it's getting nasty between them. The veteran rocker took to the stage in England to denounce Trump's administration.

Neil Young, one of Donald Trump ‘s most vocal critics in the music industry, weighed in on the president’s online fight with Bruce Springsteen and other musicians this week, thanking Springsteen for speaking up while encouraging the world’s most powerful person to focus on more pressing issues at hand than what recording artists say about him.

A video posted on Trump’s social media account showed the president taking a swing on the golf course and his “ball” hitting Springsteen in the back.

Bruce Springsteen is not backing away from his bold political statements about Donald Trump and the current state of America. On Wednesday, May 21, he released the speech that drew the president’s ire on a new EP titled Land of Hope & Dreams.
