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.

F**k Bruce springsteen
Bruce is OLD and SENILE..
Was embarrassed for the last eight years. But proud now that a real American is President. Instead of a low life, anti American, traitor, piece of c**p that we as Americans had to endure for the previous 8 miserable years. Your music still sucks no matter where you play it bruce.
And Ill only listen when the radio feels like playing one of your songs. Any music I own by you has been put away because it embarrasses for me to admit I still like your music.
What a pos!
You’re an embarrassment to America stay there
You are the embarrassment, little boss!
Do some more drugs ya bag licker.

Stay over there. Don’t need you. Your disgrace to USA! Stop the hate!
