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:
I don’t respect a drunk, drug abusor, womanizer, anyone who expresses themselves with vulgarity words or actions. It proves their inability to function as a human being was intended. I aplogize to anyone who was subjected to this in the form of one Bruce Springsteen. He is NOT a representative of the TRUE and PROUD AMERICANS!! Please feel free to exit American permantely at anytime.
Bruce Springsteen, Speak for YOURSELF but not for the rest of the AMERICAN PEOPLE. You are not worthy to speak on our behalf! Stay in Melbourne, Australia! We don’t need you here in our great country……
He needs to be ashamed of himself for disrespecting our president. Whether you like him or not. There also a thing called respecting the office he holds. I have never liked you cuz you can’t sing your way out of a rusty bucket but let you do your thing.I don’t go around disrespecting you.
Haven’t liked him in a long time – used to be a fan, but no more.
He doesn’t speak for everyone. You should never make fans choose. Stick to what you do best and that is make music. I don’t care or agree with your political views. I’ve got my own thank you. I’m sure he lost some fans over this. Not very good marketing.
It is not the president embarrassing us it is the Democrats not accepting that Trump was elected by the citizens of America. Come on it’s been two damn years let it go already.
I’m not an embarrassed American! You don’t speak for me, you over paid star. P,ease join your friends in Canada!!
Will no longer listen to or buy anything related to this traitor I cant believe that this man has turned against America and our nation as a whole what about our troops &Veterans Bruce you should try and write and sing and speak out loud to these people and those that lost their life fighting to keep our Country safe from the madness that’s coming to our home land trying to take our beliefs and religion from us making us bow to their new ways I’m ashamed of you Bruce Springsteen
Australia please forgive us for letting Springsteen out of the USA. We apologize for him. We consider Australia as very good friend and we are truly embarrassed by Springsteen.
Bruce Springsteen is an embarrassment to the citizenry of our great country. God bless America.
