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 stand proud to be an american and embarrassed by you Bruce and the democracts for your obstruction in our system
Can’t stand this POS
I cannot stand this guy. Never could. Who the heck calls “screaming” singing? Must be a liberal thing.
Tell him to speak for himself, I am a proud American.
I can’t even listen to his music anymore. Remember when the Dixie Chicks did the same thing? Don’t hear much about them anymore do you?
Just another traitor should b hung by the neck until dead$#%&!@*u Bruce born in the USA my$#%&!@*u suck!
Has been.
Sit down and shut up , you’re singing sounds better when you’re under 10 feet of water.
Never liked your c**p music and like you less.
