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:
You embarrassed all Americans and we stand unapologetic. American has always been kind, generous and supportive of all its allies. Americans have died fighting side by side other countries to secure their freedom. You are the epitome embarrassment and Anti-American.
Stay down under Bruce. You suck
Stay away Bruce.
You’re washed up
Springsteen wasn’t embarrassed that the great ole USA afforded him the ability to do what he wanted without any obligation to the nation that afforded him the opportunity. I would like to see this big headed Asshole say the same things if he was from some of the other so called “free” nations. Born in the USA is the best thing that ever happened to this dickhead.
Wow, I suppose if you have an argument with your significant other you will tell the world, right? Keep your opinions at home and don’t air your dirty laundry overseas.
You are an American, from the best country the world has ever known. Yes, we’ve made mistakes, but what makes us different, makes us better, is we own up to them eventually and rectify them. Which is why more people risk life and limb to get to the US, more than any other country. So look at your glass as half full, not half empty.
Phones! No resident from Beverly Hills- rich procrastinator!
F**k him.
Ditto.
Come on Bruce stay with the music stay out of politics I spent alot of time and money on your tours Is that how you treat us in America
We have our own opinions and thoughts
I agree. Entertainers who got to be millionaires in this country need to get their priorities straight or go the country of their choice to be whatever they think they are or can be.
Agree with you.
Been a big Springsteen fan most of my life I’m disappointed that he’s believing the leftist lies about our president. As an entertainer and ambassador for our great country, he’s no better than criminals who have been leading the Democratic Party
Same here. Loved his music, if it was Springsteen, it was good.
Agree. Bruce … I don’t know what you are for. The people IN America are trashing their own country. They do not respect their country. You are part of the problem. Your songs “Born in America” doesn’t mean anything to me now. It WAS my favorite…no more.
