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.

I’m ashamed to say I used to really like this man now I find him pathetic!
MYSELF, I HOPE YOU STAY OVERSEAS SPRUNGSTOOGE..
Another overplayed piece of—-!!
Freedom of speech is a$#%&!@* isn’t it? But self-restraint, especially on foreign soil, is a virtue.
Never liked him anyway because his music if you call it music is lousy! he can leave the US now!
Idiot !!!
I embarrassed by you.
Stop speaking for patriotic Americans.
