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.

FU Bruce! Get out of the U.S. if you’re so embarrassed. Personally ,I have never bought one single record or song with your name on it. Never will, either.
You don’t speak for us
I am not embarrassed by anything except you and all the other morons that are not for this country. Go Donald J. Trump.
I’m not embarrassed speak for yourself but you should be
Remember you were born in the USA or did you forget
Your old!
I’m not embarrassed by America. I am embarrassed by troubadours assuming the right to speak as if they had been elected to do so.
