爱尔兰喜剧演员评布鲁斯·斯普林斯汀反特朗普巡演
喜剧演员米克·托马斯做客《吉米·法伊尔周六夜秀》，谈及布鲁斯·斯普林斯汀称其新巡演将带有政治色彩。
NEW 你现在可以收听福克斯新闻的文章了！
就在说唱歌手麦凯莫因反对以色列的激进行动引发争议之际，摇滚明星布鲁斯·斯普林斯汀和戴夫·马修斯领衔了今日的“人民力量”音乐节，该音乐节集结了一批非营利组织和活动家组成的党派网络，为中期选举提前动员反对唐纳德·特朗普总统。
一支名为“邻里孩童”的嘻哈乐队的表演者以麦凯莫的抗议 anthem 拉开音乐节序幕，高呼“解放，解放巴勒斯坦！”，随后发表声明，谴责“巨兽腹中”的抗议活动，反对“资助种族灭绝”和被称为“恐怖主义组织”的美国移民海关执法局（ICE）。他们将演出献给“烈士”，抨击“西方帝国主义”。
“人民力量”音乐节官方网站上的营销文案呼吁激活“普通人类所拥有的力量”，在选举日当天及之后“塑造”世界。
该音乐节明显与民主党立场一致，凸显了流行文化、非营利组织筹款与党派政治的交集，揭示了名人号召力如何为推进政治议程的组织带来资金、关注度和选民。
在民主党阵营的MS NOW直播聊天区，有观众写道：“蓝色浪潮”，以此象征民主党在即将到来的选举中有望获胜。其他观众也在评论中使用了蓝色浪潮和蓝色爱心表情符号。
通过将演出与选民登记、活动家组织和慈善捐赠相结合，“人民力量”音乐节为参与团体提供了平台，将粉丝对音乐的热情转化为中期选举前的政治参与——以及选票。音乐节组织者未回应置评请求。

在华盛顿特区郊外马里兰州哥伦比亚市的梅里韦瑟邮政亭音乐节场地内设立的“自由村”，汇集了一批非营利组织，包括由亿万富翁乔治·索罗斯资助的“不可分割”组织、第三行动组织、美国公民自由联盟（ACLU）以及其他在近两年里协调“无国王”、“特斯拉打击”和“别碰”等反特朗普抗议活动的团体。
去年，斯普林斯汀在明尼苏达州圣保罗州议会大厦举行的“无国王”抗议活动中登台表演，该活动由“不可分割”组织策划，反特朗普活动家简·方达也参与其中。他还在明尼阿波利斯的目标中心举行的“无国王”活动中担任压轴表演者。

音乐节的众多表演者和组织者都有明确的民主党竞选和极左翼活动历史。音乐节组织者之一、《暴力反抗机器》乐队吉他手汤姆·莫雷洛曾称社会主义是“必需品”。
在“邻里孩童”嘻哈乐队开场后，莫雷洛抨击了“法西斯分子和准独裁者”以及“寡头”，这些象征性表述是抗议者近两年来反特朗普抗议活动中常用的说法。
根据一份在线筹款表格，“人民力量音乐节基金”被列为“催化剂慈善基金”的财政赞助项目，这是一家2024年在纳什维尔成立的501(c)(3)非营利组织，根据其最新税务申报文件，该组织年收入达650万美元。

斯普林斯汀在2024年民主党总统候选人提名中表态支持：“我支持卡玛拉·哈里斯竞选总统，蒂姆·瓦尔茨竞选副总统。”他还称特朗普是“我有生之年遇到的最危险的总统候选人”。
艺术家戴夫·马修斯参与了2020年的“我将投票”音乐会，其官方网站将该活动宣传为支持拜登、哈里斯及所有民主党候选人。此前，马修斯曾支持社会主义总统候选人伯尼·桑德斯，他写道：“归根结底，伯尼·桑德斯代表了我对政府的期望。”
艺术家兼音乐节DJ谢泼德·费尔创作了标志性的奥巴马“希望”海报，以及2024年支持哈里斯的“前进”宣传图。
“我相信副总统卡玛拉·哈里斯和她的副手蒂姆·瓦尔茨是我们前进的最佳选择，”费尔在其网站上写道。他将该宣传图用于基层活动，并将读者引导至“人头计数”组织——一家从音乐节获得收益的非营利组织，以“帮助粉丝登记投票，了解更多参与即将到来选举的方式”。
根据最新的IRS税务申报文件，总部位于纽约市的“人头计数”组织年收入约为1400万美元。
另一家从音乐节获得收益的非营利组织是“投票骑手”，这是一家总部位于华盛顿特区的501(c)(3)非营利组织，根据其最新税务申报文件，年收入达780万美元。
音乐节的“社区合作伙伴”包括本杰瑞冰淇淋公司，其联合创始人本·科恩是一名极左翼活动家，曾出席共产主义科技大亨内维尔·罗伊·辛厄姆与“编码粉色”联合创始人朱迪·埃文斯的婚礼。“编码粉色”是一个激烈反特朗普的非营利组织，已从辛厄姆处获得133万美元捐款。
另一位社区合作伙伴是巴尔的摩的“红艾玛书店”，其网站设有“马克思主义、社会主义与共产主义”专栏，出售共产主义哲学家弗拉基米尔·列宁的《卡尔·马克思的教导》、《黑人马克思主义》和《献给马克思的花束》等书籍。
这种政治倾向也延伸到了年轻表演者。音乐人“孙子”（本名乔丹·本杰明）称其利用平台推进气候倡导、选民登记和通过其XX抵抗基金实现青年赋权。在2020年9月的一次采访中，他称赞拜登的政策平台，并明确表达了自己的选举偏好：“我们应该选那个家伙。”
在音乐节上，他抨击了“AI末日论”，并演唱了一首标志性歌曲，歌颂2024年美国士兵亚伦·布什内尔在华盛顿特区以色列大使馆自焚抗议以色列对2023年10月7日哈马斯袭击的军事回应的行为。
“殉道就是冥想，自焚！”这名歌手在舞台上蹦跳着唱道。

在“人民力量”音乐节，“团结”的理念还搭配了VIP升级服务。该音乐节将集体行动的理念与常见的演唱会商业模式相结合：分级门票、专属观演区和高端款待服务。粉丝可以选择“人民公园”草坪票、“人民展馆”入场权以及“团结圈”VIP套餐，其中包括预留座位、快速入场权以及“带有可购买高端酒水和食物的专属VIP露台”。
顶级的“罗宾汉套餐”被标榜为“VIP超级套房”，额外提供专属套房、第二舞台专属观演区和一个被宣传为“提供舞台和音乐节最佳视野”的高架阳台。购票者还将获得纪念海报和通行证、手机充电站以及“提供酒吧/食品购买服务的VIP礼宾主持人”。即使是最高级别的套餐，宣传中的茶点也需额外付费。
组织者称高端套餐用于慈善目的，但网站对捐赠承诺的描述有所不同。其概述承诺所有门票收益的一部分以及“VIP门票100%净收益”将捐赠给“投票骑手”和“人头计数”组织。
而套餐详情则承诺“VIP销售的所有收益”将捐赠给支持人权和社会正义的非营利组织。
商业服务不仅限于场地内。音乐节网站推广了与其直播合作伙伴MS NOW的付费会员服务，宣传可与包括民主党阵营主持人蕾切尔·玛多、珍·普萨基、阿尔·夏普顿、乔·斯卡伯勒以及前拜登发言人珍·普萨基在内的嘉宾进行“每日实时互动和问答”。
除了呼吁“基层组织”和“互助”，该活动还提供升级权限、媒体订阅和“款待服务”等市场产品。
回到“邻里孩童”乐队的舞台，嘻哈艺术家们继续抨击移民海关执法局，在空中挥舞拳头鼓舞音乐会观众。“人民的力量！”他们高呼。
“向所有烈士致以安息，”乐队的一名成员喊道。“解放世界！解放巴勒斯坦！解放刚果！解放亚美尼亚！解放苏丹！解放世界上所有受西方帝国主义压迫的地方！”
“我们在那个帐篷里有周边商品！”这名乐队成员指着“自由村”说道，另一名成员则高喊“¡Viva la revolución！”（革命万岁！）

Irish Comedian Gives His Take On Bruce Springsteen’s Anti-Trump Tour
Comedian Mick Thomas joins “Fox News Saturday Night With Jimmy Failla” to discuss Bruce Springsteen saying that his new tour is going to be political.
NEW You can now listen to Fox News articles!
As rapper Macklemore draws controversy for his activism against Israel, rock stars Bruce Springsteen and Dave Matthews headline a “Power To The People” music festival today that features a partisan network of nonprofits and activists mobilizing against President Donald Trump ahead of the midterms.
Performers from a hip-hop band, The Neighborhood Kids, launched the festival with Macklemore’s anthem of protest, chanting “Free, free Palestine!” and continuing with a declaration about protesting from “the belly of the beast,” against the “funding of genocide” and the “terrorist organization” Immigration and Customs Enforcement.” It dedicated its performance to “the martyrs” railed against “Western imperialism.”
The marketing language on the “Power To The People” festival’s official website speaks to activating “the power everyday human beings have” to “shape” the world “on, and beyond, Election Day.”
The festival bears clear signs of alignment with the Democratic Party and spotlights the intersection of pop culture, nonprofit fundraising and partisan politics, revealing how celebrity drawing power translates into money, visibility and voters for organizations advancing a political agenda.
In the chat, awaiting a livestream broadcast on the Democratic-aligned MS NOW, a user wrote: “BLUE WAVE,” symbolizing a anticipated Democratic Party victories in upcoming elections. Others peppered their comments with blue wave and blue heart emojis.

The People” offers participating groups a platform to turn fans’ enthusiasm for music into political engagement – and votes – ahead of the midterms. Festival organizers didn’t respond to a request for comment.

A “Freedom Village,” set up on the festival grounds of the Merriweather Post Pavilion in Columbia, Md., outside the nation’s capital, features a roster of nonprofit organizations, including Indivisible, which is funded by billionaire George Soros, Third Act, the ACLU and other groups that have been at the heart of coordinating “No Kings,” “Tesla Takedown” and “Hands Off” protests against Trump over almost two years.
Last year, Springsteen performed at a “No Kings” protest at the state capitol in St. Paul, Minn., organized by Indivisible and featuring anti-Trump activist Jane Fonda. He also headlined a “No Kings” event at the Target Center in Minneapolis.

Many of the festival’s performers and organizers bring a documented history of campaigning for Democrats and far-left activism. Festival organizer Tom Morello, guitarist of the band Rage Against the Machine, has called socialism a “necessity.”
Opening the concert after the hip-hop group The Neighborhood Kids, Morello blasted the “fascists and the would-be dictators” and the “oligarchs,” symbolic references that protesters have used for almost two years of protests against Trump.
According to an online fundraising form, the “Power To The People Festival Fund” is identified as a fiscally sponsored project of Catalyst Philanthropy Fund, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit established in 2024 in Nashville with $6.5 million in annual revenue, according to its latest tax filing.

Springsteen endorsed the Democratic presidential ticket in 2024, declaring: “I’m supporting Kamala Harris for president and Tim Walz for vice president.” He also called Trump “the most dangerous candidate for president in my lifetime.”
Artist Dave Matthews participated in the 2020 “I Will Vote” concert, which his official website promoted as supporting Biden, Harris and Democrats down the ballot. Earlier, Matthews backed socialist presidential candidate Bernie Sanders, writing: “When it comes down to it, Bernie Sanders represents what I want from my government.”
Artist and festival DJ Shepard Fairey created the iconic Obama “Hope” poster and the “Forward” image supporting Harris in 2024.
“I believe VP Kamala Harris and her VP pick Tim Walz are our best chance to move forward,” Fairey wrote on his website. He offered the image for grassroots activism and linked readers to Head Count Inc., a nonprofit receiving proceeds from the festival, to “help fans register to vote and learn more about how to participate in upcoming elections.”
Based in New York City, Head Count Inc. has about $14 million in revenues, according to its latest IRS tax filing.
The other nonprofit receiving proceeds from the festival is VoteRiders, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit based in Washington, D.C., with $7.8 million in revenues, based on its last tax filing.
The festival’s “community partners” include Ben & Jerry’s, the ice cream company whose co-founder Ben Cohen, a far-left activist, was a guest at the wedding of communist tech tycoon Neville Roy Singham and Jodie Evans, co-founder of CodePink, a fierce anti-Trump nonprofit that has received $1.33 million from Singham.
Another community partner is Red Emma’s, a bookstore in Baltimore with a “Marxism, Socialism & Communism” tab on its website, selling t”Teachings of Karl Marx” by communist philosopher Vladimir Lenin, “Black Marxism” and “Flowers for Marx.”
The political leanings extend to younger performers. Musician “Grandson,” whose real name is Jordan Benjamin, has described using his platform to advance climate advocacy, voter registration and youth empowerment through his XX Resistance Fund. In a September 2020 interview, he praised Biden’s policy platform and made his electoral preference explicit: “We should elect that dude.”
At the festival, he blasted “the AI apocalypse” and sang from a trademark song celebrating the self-immolation of a U.S. service member, Aaron Bushnell, in 2024 at the Embassy of Israel in Washington, D.C., protesting Israel’s military response to the Oct. 7, 2023, attack by Hamas.
“Martyrdom is meditation, self-immolation!” the musician sang, bouncing on stage.

At “Power to the People,” the concept of “solidarity” comes with a VIP upgrade. The festival pairs its message of collective action with a familiar concert-business model: tiered admission, exclusive viewing areas and premium hospitality. Fans can choose between “People’s Park” lawn admission, “People’s Pavilion” access and the “Solidarity Circle” VIP package, which offers reserved seating, expedited entry and an “exclusive VIP deck with premium bar and food available for purchase.”
The top-tier “Robinhood Package,” branded a “VIP SUPER SUITE,” adds an exclusive suite, a dedicated viewing area at the second stage and an elevated balcony advertised as offering “the very best view of the stage and the festival.” Buyers also receive a commemorative poster and laminate, a phone-charging station and a “VIP host with concierge service for bar/food available for purchase.” Even at the highest tier, the advertised refreshments cost extra.

Organizers say the premium packages serve a charitable purpose, but the website uses differing descriptions of the donation pledge. Its overview promises a portion of all ticket proceeds and “100% of the net proceeds from VIP tickets” to VoteRiders and Head Count.
The package descriptions instead promise “all proceeds from VIP sales” to nonprofits supporting human rights and social justice.
The commercial offerings extend beyond the venue. The festival’s website promotes a paid membership with its livestream partner, MS NOW, advertising access to “daily live interactions and Q&As” with personalities including Democratic-aligned hosts Rachel Maddow, Jen Psaki, Al Sharpton and Joe Scarborough and Jen Psaki, a former Biden spokeswoman.
Alongside calls for “grassroots organizing” and “mutual aid,” the event offers a marketplace of upgraded access, media subscriptions and “hospitality.”
Back on stage with the Neighborhood Kids, the hip-hop artists continued their blast of ICE and pumped their fists in the air to inspire the concertgoers. “Power to the people!” they shouted.
“Rest in peace to all the martyrs,” one member of the group yelled. “Free the world! Free Palestine! Free Congo! Free Armenia! Free Sudan! And free everywhere in the world from Western imperialism.”
“And we got merch in that tent!” the member of the group continued, pointing toward the “Freedom Village,” as another yelled “¡Viva la revolución!”
