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.

F**k Bruce. Who the$#%&!@*is he anyways. Old washed up guy
His a POS, but good singer!!
BRUCE SPRINGSTEEN YOUR DAY IS OVER, GO HOME AND FORGET WE DONT HEAR YOU ANYMORE, YOU SUCK.
Go to Hell, Springsteen.
You didn’t hit him hard enough!!!
Don’t worry about coming back to a country where you are ashamed of our leader, at least after 8 terrible years we have a true leader, one who loves America and is not out to destroy us. I feel sure any true American will not miss you if you stay away.
Then move jerk!
A has been…
Speak for your self$#%&!@*
Should speak for yourself
