Bruce Springsteen unleashed a foul-mouthed rant against Donald Trump, calling his administration 'incompetent, racist and reckless' as he kicked off his tour in Minneapolis.
The singer, 76, has appeared frequently in the city to protest the Trump and his White House staffers following the deaths of Renee Good and Alex Pretti, including writing a song called 'Streets of Minneapolis' inspired by their killings.
Springsteen, long an outspoken liberal, sounded off on Trump and what he called 'dangerous times' as he took the stage at Target Center to launch his Land of Hope and Dreams Tour.
'The America that I love, the America that I've written about for 50 years that's been a beacon of hope and liberty around the world is currently in the hands of a corrupt, incompetent, racist, reckless and treasonous administration,' he said to cheers.
'The Boss' then asked his audience to join him and the E Street Band in condemning the Trump administration.
He told the crowd, 'Choosing hope over fear, democracy over authoritarianism, the rule of law over lawlessness, ethics over unbridled corruption, resistance over complacency, unity over division and peace over...'
Springsteen and the band finished the spiel by performing a cover of Edwin Starr's 'War,' which the New Jersey native has been using to protest Republicans going as far back as Ronald Reagan in the 1980s.
The band included Tom Morello, the guitar player for left-wing 1990s rockers Rage Against the Machine who has played occasionally with the E Street Band since 2008.

Springsteen then immediately jumped in to one of his biggest hits, 'Born in the USA,' a song consistently misinterpreted by politicians of all stripes.
The Daily Mail has reached out to the White House for comment.
It came just days after Springsteen led the lineup at the Minneapolis-St. Paul branch of the No Kings rallies taking place in cities across America on Saturday.
The events were set up to express left-wing opposition to various Trump administration policies, including the ICE raids and the Iran War.
Minneapolis was a nexus of anti-ICE demonstrations at the start of this year, with outrage against the government intensifying after two protestors - Alex Pretti and Renee Good - were killed in encounters with federal law enforcement.
Springsteen, a longtime Democrat who opened Joe Biden's inauguration special and has been a vociferous critic of Donald Trump, released a song on January called Streets of Minneapolis as a reaction to the bloodshed.
He performed the song this Saturday during the rally held the Minnesota State Capitol in St. Paul, which is one of the 'Twin Cities' along with neighboring Minneapolis.
'Well, this past winter, federal troops brought death and terror to the streets of Minneapolis. They picked the wrong city,' Springsteen trumpeted onstage.

'The power and the solidarity of the people of Minneapolis and of Minnesota was an inspiration to the entire country. Your strength and your commitment told us that this is still America,' Springsteen continued, as seen on the No Kings livestream.
In January, the singer performed his new anti-ICE anthem, Streets of Minneapolis, at Minnesota's National Shutdown protest on Friday.
He sang the song live for the first time at a benefit concert called Defend Minnesota!, held at First Avenue, according to NBC News.
Announcing his protest song this week, Springsteen wrote on Instagram, 'I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis.'
'It's dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good.'
He signed off, 'Stay free, Bruce Springsteen.'
According to the outlet, the New Jersey-bred singer shared an anecdote about the advice Morello gave him before he released Streets of Minneapolis.
He said to the crowd: 'Now I know Tom is an excitable man. I say, "Tom, what do you think? It's kind of soapboxy." He says, "Bruce, nuance is wonderful, but sometimes you have to kick them in the teeth."
'So this is for the people of Minneapolis, Minnesota, and the people of our good country, the United States of America.'
Springsteen's surprise appearance comes after a lyric from Born In The USA was censored at a radio station in the United Kingdom earlier this month.
He sings: 'So they put a rifle in my hands, sent me off to a foreign land, to go and kill the yellow man, Born in the USA.'
According to The Sun, Absolute Radio will censor the phrase when the song is played on their station.
The tune is one of Springsteen's most well-known songs and discusses a disillusioned Vietnam veteran's alienation after the war.
