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.

Another wannabe
Shut up and sing$#%&!@*
He speaks for himself, not for most Americans. After all 63 million Americans voted Trump and are happy he is in office.
The only good thing about his band was the late Clarence Clemmons. Bruce Springsteen sucks.
Draft dodging coward.
You’ve been an embarrassing American since the 80’s…
No problem Brucie, we are pretty embarrassed in you also.
F**k Springsteen
Numbskulls like him should ask the Dixie Chicks how well that worked out for them!
