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.

No Bruce, your the embarrassment.
Hey Bruce, if you don’t like it here, GTFO. No one will miss your noise or your rotten opinion.
Speak for yourself traitor
You are an embarrassment to our country Bruce Springsteen! Never liked him..
I’ve got to say I’m a somewhat embarrassed US citizen because of the so called media, Hollywood, and entertainers who think they speak for us. Every day it’s someone else trying to revitalize a career and regain their 15 minutes of fame. If they were true Americans they would get behind their president and see what they could do to make this a better country to live in. Instead they just want to$#%&!@*and try to point fingers. It’s time to grow up.
I’m embarrassed that he’s from the United States
I’m embarrassed bruce is an American. He can always go to Canada and renounce his citizenship.
Trump in no way embarrasses me but this whiney$#%&!@*of a singer who has seen better days is certainly an embarrassment
I’m ashamed I ever bought a Springsteen album.
GTFO$#%&!@*hat.
