The singer Bruce Springsteen closed his world tour with a concert by the 105 anniversary of Harley Davidson motorcycles
The singer Bruce Springsteen closed his world tour with a concert by the 105 anniversary of Harley Davidson motorcycles, to the shores of Lake Michigan.
Springsteen played almost 30 hits over three and a half hours on Saturday night, almost without making comments between songs.
The musician, known for liberals to comment on the stage, were allowed to talk about politics only for a few seconds before starting to play `` Livin 'in the Future.''
The hearing Springsteen was not very different from that which gave him a warm welcome to Republican candidate John McCain on August 4 during the Sturgis motorcycle called Rally in South Dakota, where many made their motorcycles roar during the candidate's speech.
Springsteen said that `` Livin 'in the Future''was what happens now: cheese, Harley Davidson motorcycles (awarded to his audience in Wisconsin), trans fats, `` nothing''with 500 channels and the Bill of Rights U.S..
But the singer also mentioned the telephone intervention and surrender, referring to the secret transfer of terrorist suspects from one country to another.
`` Things that are essentially non-Americans at the bottom''he said. Some grumble, but most remained silent.
Springsteen refrained from touching `` Born in the USA'', his anthem about the problems faced by veterans of Vietnam, or the pacifist ballad `` Devils and Dust''on Iraq.
The concert on Saturday was the last in his world tour. In its website Springsteen and the E Street Band have made 100 presentations to more than two million followers.
The anniversary of Harley Davidson expected an attendance of 100,000 people worldwide in its four-day. The festivities included a parade of motorcycles, activities in the new Museum Harley Davidson and other concerts.
