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.

You are the embarrassment…jackass
I walked out at his concert years ago.. couldn’t understand a word he was singing .. haven’t cared for him since then
Like you even less, Bruce

Asshat!!
He absolutely does not represent me. I do not apologize to anyone. I am a proud American. This$#%&!@*is a personified American meaning he is a f**e.
Baloney, you don’t speak for me. You stand alone.
President Trump could be the cause of world peace no disease no hunger and still they would chastise the man because their haters and that’s with hate and ignorance to do to people
Not embarrassed enough to take everyone’s money.
