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.

Agree with you Bone.
Don’t like him
yes you are embarassing
He’s allways been f**e.
But when the Dixie Chicks were embarrassed, it pretty much ended their careers. The bottom line is that we don’t want to hear your political opinions. Not on stage, not on the field, not on our dime. Period.
yes most Americans are embarrassed that you are a pathetic asswipe of an American!!!
I totally agree with you Julie!!!
Stay over there…we don’t want you
I agree your an embarrassment
Never bought anything from him, just couldn’t stand him
