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.
See Bruce Springsteen’s full statement on the next page:
Speak only for yourself dude.
The only embarrassment Americans suffer is when anti-Americans like you make a fool of yourselves in other countries when you bad mouth your own country. Doesn’t make you look very stable in their eyes, I’m sure!
These entertainers need to learn to speak for themselves, and not We The People!
Up yours.
screw you Bruce
Speak for yourself asshole
Shameful Springsteen! What a disgrace to America!!
Dirtbag
Springsteen ought to be embarrassed. His stupidity has “come out of the closet” for all to see. Move to another country please Bruce, you are part of the problem not the solution.
What do you want or expect from someone who endorses men in womens bathrooms?
