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:
He never was much of anything sure can’t sing
DOUCHE BAGS
He should stay in Europe to
What a complete scumbag loser, wouldn’t go see him if he were the last musician on earth
We are also embarrassed that you’re an American. BTW If you don’t like being a FREE American, YOU’RE FREE TO LEAVE TO ANY COUNTRY THAT WILL TAKE YOU!
I’ll NEVER listen to him again
Please to come back to the USA once you leave.
Speak for yourself.
If only anyone could understand the words in your songs, then we might (not) understand your stupidity!!!
WE ARE EMBARRASSED THAT YOU CALL YOUR SELF AN AMERICAN
