In the United States, musicians Bruce Springsteen and Chris Robinson have encountered public backlash as some Americans express frustration with what they perceive as political lecturing from entertainers.

The controversy centers on Springsteen's criticism of President Donald Trump, which some find paradoxical given Springsteen's iconic album 'Born in the United States.' Critics argue that artists and entertainers should be cautious about engaging in political discourse, citing the adage 'if you live by the sword, then you die by the sword.' This debate highlights tensions between artistic expression and audience reception in the current political climate.
