Bruce Springsteen said he and his E Street Band guitarist Steven Van Zandt were escorted out of Disneyland for violating the park's dress code.
In Springsteen's 2017 autobiography, "Born to Run," the musician recounted the time he and his entourage were "unceremoniously thrown out of Disneyland for refusing to remove" their bandanas.
"We buy our tickets. Steve, giggling excitedly, can't wait and enters through the turnstiles first," Springsteen wrote. "He proceeds approximately thirty feet inside, where he is stopped, asked to step aside and told that in order to remain in the park, he will need to remove his bandana."
"This, say the powers that be, is so he will not be misidentified as a gang member, Blood or Crip, and fall victim to a drive-by while hurling his cookies on Space Mountain," Springsteen continued, detailing that Steve's bandana was neither the red nor blue colors associated with either group, but "an indeterminate hue."
Springsteen, in solidarity, also refused to remove his own "Born in the USA" bandana.
According to Springsteen, "the main honcho of the several security guards" wouldn't allow them to stay with their current headgear.
Springsteen said they left, exclaiming, "We're outta here! Screw you, fascist mouse! We're going to Knott's Berry Farm," in reference to another California theme park.
However, when arriving at Knott's, Springsteen said they were informed they wouldn't be allowed into the park for the same reason.
