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.

Speak for yourself
Hope he moves to Mexico.
Just another low life liberal
Can’t sing for$#%&!@*all he does is scream and they call this music well it’s not never did like this kind of s**t
I used to be a fan….No more.
And you hillary going to prison
Bruce is a douchebag! His music always sucked anyway!! Sounds like a drunk with a mouthful of marbles! Stay overseas ya dirt merchant!!
That was the nicest thing I could have said. He is still a great American poet and court jester. Just screwed up politics. As Zhivago’s brother said to him, I love your poetry but your political view is wrong.
He is a moron and his singing sucks too.
The Boss is dead to me because he has become an embarrassment every time he opens his ridiculous mouth to talk instead of singing.
