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.

Use to love his music but will not play it anymore. Bruce Springsteen is an embarassment, and I now think of him as a has been.
You’re our embarrassment
You are the one who is embarrassing Americans. If you’re out of the country just stay where the f*** you are
Don’t have any of his music. Threw all out into the trash
You are the embarrassment…loser!
I sure wish all these dissatisfied millionaires, would pack up and leave the country. They act as if they are the end all and be all! His 15 minutes of fame was basically over in the 1980s!
I have not bought any of his stuff in about 3 years. He can suffer like all the other celebrities.
What an$#%&!@*
Don’t speak for me, you idiot!
Stfu…cheater
