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.

Why you gotta be so mean??? Get over it. He WON.
isn’t that what ended the Dixie Chicks?
No you stand for liberal morons
I hope he stays over seas no one misses him here. He is a disgrace to our country.
Forget ole Bruce! Has been! Poor guy! Maybe it would help you to read your Bible before it’s to late! We all have to die before we Can Live! Think a out that!
Please don’t come back to our country you are definitely not wanted.
