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.

I just broke all of your recordings and never will spend one more cent on you or others. I can do without movies and music in my life from the likes of you. We have spent trillions helping other nations while our own citizens fail.
How far did the Dixi Chicks go after their failed rant on stage in France…ummm not far matter of fact you don’t even hear them mentioned anymore, Bruce Springstien is an old washed up rock star…who cares Bruce? Go away.
