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.

Moron

New Yorker
He claims he is “the boss” yes: sorry sob backwards!
God gave you your talent stick to singing not judging that’s Gods job he won’t be happy you think it’s yours not
Springsteen… If you haven’t noticed he is political before this tour, you are fucking stupid. He captures the ethos of resistance.
Love him. Love his music. Love his politics.
$#%&!@*it. Bruce should run for president. Couldn’t be any worse than the$#%&!@*we have in office now.
You liberals should be embarrassed.
More people voted against him, or didn’t vote at all, so I doubt he is worried about his sales…..
