Legendary singer and songwriter Bruce Springsteen says Americans are living in \"a frightening time\" because of the country's leadership. In an interviewwith \"CBS This Morning\" co-host Gayle King, Springsteen responded to President Trump's comments at a Minneapolis rallyearlier this month on how he \"didn't need little Bruce Springsteen\" and other celebrities like Beyonc and Jay Z, who supported Hillary Clinton in the 2016 election.<\/p>\n
King asked, \"So he's going back to 2016. And this is now 2019. You surprised that he's trash-talking you after all this time?\" Springsteen laughed. <\/p>\n
\"Not really. Anything's possible,\" he said.<\/p>\n
\"I know. I mean, a lot of people are very concerned about the direction of the country,\" King said.<\/p>\n
\"It's just frightening, you know? We're living in a frightening time,\" Springsteen replied. \"The stewardship of the nation is has been thrown away to somebody who doesn't have a clue as to what that means ... And unfortunately, we have somebody who I feel doesn't have a grasp of the deep meaning of what it means to be an American.\"<\/p>\n
Springsteen is out with a new film, \"Western Stars,\" which hits theaters nationwide this weekend. It features his first collection of new music since 2012.<\/p>\n
Watch the extended conversation with Springsteen on our streaming network, CBSN, at 8 p.m. on Friday.<\/p>\n
