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 not embarrassed to be an American, I am a proud Jersey Girl.
You$#%&!@*speak for your self we are ashamed of you
I’m embarrassed you are Americans as well. Why don’t you change your citizenship. You should have been embarrassed over the last 8 years but you were too busy clapping yourself on the back for electing a “black “president. That man is trying to destroy this country and people like YOU are helping.
Old loser has-been.
