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:
You are a jerk. What disrespect
He’s nothing who cares what he thinks
You would think if he was truely embarrassed he’d shut hid f*cking mouth
I thought he was a good American? Unfortunately… He is just another sycophant trying to profit off of everyone’s emotionally crippled natures. Vampires everywhere… Profiting off of this corruption of virtue.

Nincompoop !
We are ashamed of you your nothing but trash
You should be embarrassed, your music sucks and your mono tone singing voice sounds like a chain smoker gargling with razor blades. STFU and play you horrible songs and leave the thinking to people more equiped.
Idiot scum
Revoke his passport.
