Bruce Springsteen Drops ‘Land of Hope & Dreams' EP Featuring Speech That Set Off President Trump
Bruce Springsteen is doubling down on his stance that the United States government is 'corrupt, incompetent and treasonous,' even after his remarks on the subject at a Manchester concert infuriated President Donald Trump last week. One week after criticizing the Trump administration during a speech at his European tour kickoff show in England — leading the twice-impeached POTUS to launch into a series of vitriolic posts targeting him on Truth Social — the Boss has released a Land of Hope & Dreams EP featuring a recording of the address as its opening track. 'In my home, the America I love, the America I've written about, and has been a beacon of hope and liberty for 250 years, is currently in the hands of a corrupt, incompetent and treasonous administration,' he says in the audio snippet. 'Tonight, we ask all who believe in democracy and the best of our American experience to rise with us, raise your voices against the authoritarianism, and let freedom ring.'

In addition to the politically charged speech, the six-track project also features live takes of the musician and his band performing 'Long Walk Home,' 'My City of Ruins' and 'Chimes of Freedom' in Manchester. There's also a three-and-a-half-minute recording of Springsteen once again critiquing the state of American politics later in the show. 'In my country, they're taking sadistic pleasure in the pain that they inflict on American workers, they're rolling back historic civil rights legislation that led to a more just and moral society,' he says in the clip. 'They're abandoning our great allies and siding with dictators against those struggling for their freedom.' The EP comes shortly after Trump responded to Springsteen's onstage remarks by calling him 'highly overrated' and 'dumb as a rock' on Truth Social, adding at the time, 'This dried out 'prune' of a rocker (his skin is all atrophied!) ought to KEEP HIS MOUTH SHUT until he gets back into the Country, that's just 'standard fare.'' Later, the billionaire accused the 'Born in the U.S.A.' singer — along with Beyoncé, Oprah and Bono — of taking part in an 'illegal election scam' for Kamala Harris, alleging that he accepted an undisclosed payment from the 2024 Democratic nominee to endorse her for president. (Campaign finance records do not support this claim, and Harris' campaign has denied paying any artist for their support in last year's election.) Trump still hadn't let the matter go as of Wednesday, when he shared an edited video of himself golfing — and appearing to hit and knock over Springsteen with his ball — on Truth Social hours after the Land of Hope & Dreams EP dropped. But despite Trump's counters, Springsteen hasn't ever backed down on his firm stance against the president's policies. The E Street bandleader has long been vocal about his beliefs, telling The Atlantic in 2020 that he believed Trump — who in May 2024 was convicted of 34 felony counts in a hush money trial — to be a 'threat to our democracy.' Also in 2024, Springsteen proudly endorsed Harris and played at a number of her campaign events. He also appeared in an advertisement for the former VP's campaign, telling viewers, 'This election is about a group of folks who want to fundamentally undermine our American way of life … Donald Trump does not understand this country, its history, or what it means to be deeply American.'

Madonna Biopic Series With Shawn Levy in the Works at Netflix: Report
The Queen of Pop might be getting her own TV series. Music icon Madonna is working with Shawn Levy to develop a limited series at Netflix, according to a new report by Deadline. Levy and Madonna have been talking about working together for some time, according to the report, and the series is unrelated to a paused film biopic that was being developed at Universal with Julia Garner in the lead role. (That film was put on an indefinite hold ahead of her massive Celebration tour.) More from Rolling Stone Spotify to Add Over 50 Audiobooks About Albums, From Kendrick Lamar to Britney Spears and More Karol G Celebrates Netflix Documentary Release with 'Milagros' 7 Things We Learned From Karol G's 'Tomorrow Was Beautiful' Documentary Shawn Levy is the creative behind Stranger Things and The Perfect Couple, along with being a producer on Deadpool & Wolverine. His company 21 Laps has an exclusive TV deal at Netflix. Reps for Netflix did not immediately respond to Rolling Stone's request for comment. Madonna's rep declined to comment. 'I have a very long script that is really hard for me to make shorter. I've been whittling away at it, but it's like hacking off my limbs,' Madonna told Variety in 2022 about the film. 'I've had an extraordinary life, I must make an extraordinary film. It was also a preemptive strike because a lot of people were trying to make movies about me. Mostly misogynistic men. So I put my foot in the door and said, 'No one's going to tell my story but me.'' It's unclear what period of Madonna's career the television series will focus on, although Garner is 'still being engaged' on the new project. Madonna has previously hinted at the biopic being turned into a TV series. 'After struggling for days in LA, listening to producers and agents tell me why I couldn't make my film —I (been working on it for 4 years!!!),' she said in a now-deleted post from November. 'I realized that everything in my life is going to be challenged.' She added at the time: 'I did not have a normal life. I cannot make this in the normal way … We cannot shrink and make ourselves smaller. If you want something badly enough in life — the whole universe will conspire to [help] you get it.'

Sesame Street Is Relocating to Netflix
Elmo's brief unemployment era is over. Sesame Street has found a new home at Netflix following the expiration of its contract with Warner Bros. Discovery, which began in 2016 when new episodes went into production at HBO after the Public Broadcasting Service, or PBS, could no longer afford the expenses required to keep the series afloat. 'We are excited to announce that all new Sesame Street episodes are coming to @netflix worldwide along with library episodes, and new episodes will also release the same day on @PBS Stations and@PBSKIDS platforms in the US, preserving a 50+ year relationship,' Netflix shared in a statement published on social media. 'The support of Netflix, PBS, and the Corporation for Public Broadcasting serve as a unique public-private partnership to enable Sesame Street to continue to help children everywhere grow smarter, stronger, and kinder.' More from Rolling Stone 'Forever' Showrunner Mara Brock Akil Wants to 'Give Boys Their Full Humanity' Madonna Biopic Series With Shawn Levy in the Works at Netflix: Report Karol G Celebrates Netflix Documentary Release with 'Milagros' At HBO, new Sesame Street episodes would premiere nine months before they would air on PBS. Netflix plans to close the gap with its same-day release schedule beginning with Season 56. The uncertain fate of the beloved children's series reached a depressing turning point when a LinkedIn post claimed that Elmo, who is perpetually three years old, lost his job. 'Hi LinkedIn, unfortunately Elmo was recently laid off because of the federal budget cuts,' the post read. 'Elmo worked at Sesame Street for 45 years. Elmo is sad. Elmo loved his time at Sesame Street.' On May 1, Trump announced an executive order demanding the end of all federal funding for NPR and PBS, on the grounds that they allegedly 'receive millions from taxpayers to spread radical, woke propaganda disguised as 'news,'' according to a White House social media post. The Ready to Learn program, which provided $23 million in funding for educational kids' shows and games, was among the targeted grant cancellations, per the Corporation for Public Broadcasting.

Kneecap Band Member Liam O'Hanna Charged With Terror Offense in the U.K.
Kneecap band member Liam O'Hanna has been charged with a terror offense by London police after he allegedly waved a Hezbollah flag onstage, according to the BBC. The charge comes about six months after the alleged incident, during which the 27-year-old Irish musician — whose stage name is Mo Chara — is said to have displayed the flag during his band's gig at the O2 Forum on Nov. 21, 2024. The London Metropolitan Police only learned of the alleged offense in April, when a video of the concert surfaced online. More from Billboard Kneecap's First Live Show Since Coachella Set to Go Ahead at London Festival SZA Says She's 'Actually So Shocked' by the 'Bullying' Megan Thee Stallion Is Facing in Tory Lanez Shooting Case Karol G Lands First No. 1 on Hot Latin Pop Songs Chart With 'Milagros' Hezbollah, an Iran-backed Lebanese Shia militia that the United States has designated a Foreign Terrorist Organization, is banned in the U.K., with the BBC reporting that it is illegal to express support for the group. The same goes for Hamas, a Palestinian terrorist organization that Hezbollah has backed amid the former's ongoing conflict with Israel. O'Hanna is reportedly due to appear at Westminster Magistrates' Court on June 18. The update is just the latest development in a series of controversies for Kneecap, which made headlines in April for ending its Coachella set with the following message displayed onscreen: 'Israel is committing genocide against the Palestinian people. It is being enabled by the U.S. government who arm and fund Israel despite their war crimes. F— Israel; free Palestine.' While some criticized the Coachella message, some fellow musicians — including Massive Attack, Pulp and Fontaines D.C. — expressed support for the group in an open letter. The Belfast trio has been one of the most outspoken voices in the music world in supporting Palestine amid Israel's war on Hamas, which began Oct. 7, 2023, when the terrorist group killed 1,200 Israelis and kidnapped 250 more. More than 53,000 Palestinians have since died in the violence, according to The Associated Press. Kneecap again drew criticism when footage of the group allegedly calling for the deaths of British MPs (members of parliament) in 2023 resurfaced online in April, shortly after London authorities announced that they were assessing a video taken of a band member appearing to say 'up Hamas, up Hezbollah.' Around that time, Kneecap released a statement: 'Let us be unequivocal: we do not, and have never, supported Hamas or Hezbollah,' the band wrote. 'We condemn all attacks on civilians, always. It is never okay. We know this more than anyone, given our nation's history. We also reject any suggestion that we would seek to incite violence against any MP or individual. Ever. An extract of footage, deliberately taken out of all context, is now being exploited and weaponised, as if it were a call to action.' 'We also reject any suggestion that we would seek to incite violence against any MP or individual,' it continued. 'Ever. An extract of footage, deliberately taken out of all context, is now being exploited and weaponised, as if it were a call to action.'
