His wholehearted support Bruce Springsteen in Kamala Harris’ campaign for the US presidency has been as vocal as ever for a candidate – even filming a three-minute video last month in which he expressed his support and attended her rallies.

On Wednesday night at his first post-election concert, the second at Toronto’s Scotiabank Arena, Bruce’s reaction to Donald Trump’s victory was subtle.

After apologizing to the audience for starting the concert late (due to a flight delay of hours), he quickly changed the subject and said: “This is a fighting prayer for my country” (This is a fighting prayer for my country) and sang “Long Walk Home”, which he rarely chooses to open concerts.

The song, from his 2007 album ‘Magic’, deals with familiar Bruce Springsteen themes – country, woman, family, freedom, summer – but its relevance tonight was in the third verse: “My father said, ‘Son, we’re lucky in this town.'”

“It’s a nice place to be born/ It just hugs you/ No one drowns you and no one goes alone/ The flag flying in court/ Means some things are fixed/ Who we are, what we’ll do and what we won’t do.” His next song, according to Variety, was “Land of Hope and Dreams”.

The night took a strange turn when sources said former New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie was seen watching from the side of the stage during the first night, though that was not immediately confirmed.

Die-hard fan Christie, who has seen Springsteen more than 150 times, had a complicated relationship with the singer.

When a scandal arising from a 2013 politically motivated lane closure on the George Washington Bridge was widely publicized and eventually traced to the Christie administration, Bruce Springsteen and Jimmy Fallon (who played the singer) parodied “Born to Run” for the former governor.
