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.

speak for yourself ,traitor . I am a PROUD American
The most arrogant POS that ever took a stage . Talk about privileged this guy is everything he he spouts out about others ..
Morons
He’s a liberal IDIOT.
All I can say is love it or leave it,Bye
Never liked that$#%&!@*his music sucks
The lyrics are actually not very endearing to America. As a gullible teenager I didn’t understand he was actually slamming the country.
A slap in the face. You should be Ashamed !
Ignore people like Michelle VonAhn, who have to use the rainbow design to show everyone how virtuous and tolerant she is.
Does he really believe he speaks for the rest of us?
