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.
See Bruce Springsteen’s full statement on the next page:
Bruce has obviously been uninformed about how the protests and the disrespect that the nfl has shown about our country. Keep up your bashing of our president and our country and see where your music career goes. Used to be a favorite but can’t stand to listen to him anymore! Good job in losing a fan.
Well if you were so embarrassed you should have stayed overseas you stink anyway.
Boycott the assholes
Rubbish
He needs to move to his country of choice! He has the money to do so without any financial burden!
When he comes on the radio, I change the channel. One note singer with a terrible voice.
You’re embarrassing you stupid ass
I bet you are embarrassed Bruce! I’m embarrassed for you!
Idiot and sick!
Speak for yourself$#%&!@*Bruce
