“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,” Springsteen wrote in a statement released in conjunction with the song. “It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good. Stay free, Bruce Springsteen.”The song is classic Springsteen. “Streets of Minneapolis” may not center on Springsteen’s home state of New Jersey, but the song covers familiar thematic territory for the legendary musician. In 1994, Springsteen also released “Streets of Philadelphia,” a song written for the Oscar-winning 1993 drama “Philadelphia” and which similarly explores the HIV/AIDS crisis.
