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.

Washed up Old p***k
Stay there then!!!!
U are now the embarassed one , time for a break.
NO YOU DO
He can use his platform of his music to bash this country. But guess what people this is the same country he’ll come back to
Then stop singing Born in the USA, you are an embarassment.
You make me sick and you are an ignoramus. If you cared about our country you wouldn’t pull that c**p.
He should be put on a no fly list. He is a domestic terrorist.
To me you always sound like a man who is getting raped in prison when you sung and I never liked one little bit of your music.
Not a fan
