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.

Speak for yourself.
We are paying attention to the leaders who need to retire or be voted out!
They are famous because ordinary Americans patronized them. Let them realize that by boycotting these liberal brain dead greedy hypocrites

If he doesn’t love America then deport him to the country of his choice
Well I’m not a fan anymore
Bruce, blow it out your ass. Why all the hate?
Springsteen used to be a musician. Now he’s nothing but a boring political hack.
