This week, Bruce Springsteen claimed that he was standing amount “embarrassed Americans”.
This coming from the man who sings “Born in the USA,” but the signs were there all along. Springsteen’s hit may sound like a patriotic jam, but its intention is often misheard or misunderstood. With lyrics like “So they put a rifle in my hand / Sent me off to a foreign land / To go and kill the yellow man,” the song was a political statement from the very beginning.
The anti-war/anti-America message may have been subtle then, but now Springsteen is making his displeasure with the United States known across the world. His most overt criticism of his home country came this week during a concert in Melbourne, Australia.

Oh Bruce you are the embarrassment. Go lay down somewhere.
Don’t be speaking for me or millions of other Americans. You are just going with the flow of hate right now in order to be, in your opinion, cool. You need to keep your trap shut and speak only for yourself. Like the posts say, after you had made millions off the American people, just go somewhere else where you can live under a ruler who will behead you for speaking out.
We were were embarrassed Bruce but not anymore unless it’s because of your stupid foolish$#%&!@*
You are the disgrace we are the ones embarrassed,by you,hang your head fool
