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.

another reason I never cared for him or his music
He sure is an embarrassment and a let down
Very very disappointed in the entire entertainment world
Shut up Springsteen. You are an idiot.
Good place for him to stay.
No fool,you and idiots like you,are the embarrassment to America.
Asshat$#%&!@* When he sings it looks like he’s straining to take a dump!
This kind of back stabbing is what is killing of country…..And there are fools that listen, follow, and looked up to guys like this…..What a treasonous POS!
Asshole, stick to singing
Yes we are embarrassed by you! How did you know with your head so far up in the clouds to see us little people
