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.

Fool!
Damaged yourself Bruce. Stay overseas.
F**k you bruce
You aren’t standing before me you arrogant, pompous$#%&!@*
Real Americans are always proud. But if I were a liberal, I’d be embarrassed of myself too
He’s a POS
Don’t speak for me scum bag
He should be embarrassed. Dolly Parton had 80,000 screaming fans in Glastonbury.
if he’s embarrassed to be an american, then he should give up his citizenship and move to another country
Speak for yourself
