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.

He’s a real p.o.s!
We are embarrassed that you are an American Bruce. Do us a favor and keep your politics to yourself and you music is pitful…..
I understand Bruce had put his ranch in green acres to avoid high property taxes and he’s another democrat for the little guy? Hey Bruce just think how much money that would feed the poor. Hypocrite!
You didn’t stand in front of me because I’m not embarrassed!

Butt boss Doushe Springfree
Great music – shitty attitude.
As an American, Im embarrassed that YOU are an American Bruce. You would be better served to shut your mouth, sing and dance when called upon to entertain us and leave politics to someone who does not live in a dream world.
