Tonight demands something different," The Boss said during his lauded "Springsteen on Broadway" show at the Walter Kerr Theatre in New York City. The musician then condemned the "inhumane" treatment of thousands of children who have been separated from their parents before playing his song "The Ghost of Tom Joad" in protest.
