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:
Don’t come back. America made you rich but you are truly an embarrassment to us now. Stay the heck out of here.
Stay over there Springie, maybe you will be happier— I know we will be!

To bad nobody shot that draft dodging sack of$#%&!@*while he was on stage. He’s a pathetic excuse for a man and has no business being in this country. Hopefully he doesn’t make it to 2018.
Springsteen you are a BIG disappointment
I HATE YOU, TRAITOR, B. DING-DONG.—–DROP DEAD.
two-faced
Fukkoff Bruce. Don’t come home.
Geez…
I saw the lowest energy loser Springsteen concert in Worcester MA years ago… he looked like he was comatosed and sluggish, was the crappiest concert i have ever seen….. he thinks a lot of himself… now that was an embarrassment big Bruce..
