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.

Embarrassed that this jerk feels he has the right to speak for the rest of us.
I guess you like apologizing for our country just like your king obama did every place we went. Well Bruce. We are the number one country in the world wether you think so or not. If you are ashamed of the greatest country quit taking our America money the country made you.
Been against him for a long time,he started this$#%&!@*with the men using the women’s bathrooms in Carolina.i guess he,s a weirdo also.
At least they are right, they are an embarrassment to this country.
Stay in Austrailia. A lot of us don’t want you back.
Who is WE, Bruce???
You should be ashamed of yourself!
Die
Speak for yourself
