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.
See Bruce Springsteen’s full statement on the next page:
He’s a raving but job
Good thing I never liked him anyway.
This guy is a phony – has made millions because of our economy and is undermining everything that has allowed him all the perks of living in the United States.
He certainly does not speak for ALL Americans!
ASSHOLE!
Sick of people like him when he lets illegal live with him then he can run his mouth
Never cared for him anyway
I’m not, but Bruce should be.
Springsteen, what gives you the right to speak for Americans? First you have to ACT like an American. YOU are the colossal embarrassment to our country. A demented AH twist that goes around the world vomiting his c**p. Something like Obama traveling from Japan to Cuba apologizing for the U.S. Just do your music, Scream out your pathetic songs (cuz it sure aint singing by any stretch of the imagination) smoke your weed and keep telling yourself of your patriotism. No REAL American is buying it pay.
No REAL American is buying it pal.
