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.

Loser
Loser, if I had any of his albums I’d smash them with a sledgehammer!!!!!
What a p***k. Never liked him.
I am embarrassed how hateful and liars the Liberals are.
… Then keep standing in foreign countries … I know I WILL be glad to not hear your caterwauling anymore …
Just what I said, above your comment!
Who cares what some washed up old drugged up rocker says.
