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.

I am…,,,… was a BRUCE fan After the Tunnel of Love album. His political views have caused me to lose respect for BRUCE. Come on man….. you avoided the draft and I always stood up for you saying it was a medical issue. I’m an embarrassed New Jersey citizen.
Never cared for him them, don’t care for him now
I’m 81 years old. In my lifetime I’ve never seen a President throttled every day like they have Trump. Trump may be a lot of things, but he’s standing up for America. We are being purposely inundated with immigrants to support, many of which are here on a destructive mission. I don’t give a damn what women do with their bodies, but why get pregnant in the first place if you’re going to kill the baby? Our country was created to escape oppression. Now, they want a global organization or one world governance. How’s that going to work for us? Might get someone like King Hussein! The women sure won’t own their bodies then. I grant you there are many problems in this country, but we need to work to settle it together. Democrats and Republicans need to work together. They could take all the money that they are spending to try to get Trump and pay off all he student loans! I don’t care if Trump streaks Stark-naked down Connecticut Avenue, I’m going to vote for him.
I was always one of his biggest fans but I’m done with him now. He should have stayed out of politics bc he doesn’t know how many People have died so that he could sing and be free. You are DISGUSTING Brice.
No more Springsteen if he’s going to embarrass our country in this manner. He doesn’t speak for all of us. He needs to stick to singing and leave President Trump alone.
JUST LEAVE OUR NOW PROSPEROUSAMERICA AND NEVER EVER COME BACK! We don’t need traitors here!
He is the embarrassment to our wonderful country with all his spewing of words against this country.
First of all Bruce, DON’T use the word “we”, speak for your own self, not me or anyone else in this country, and second, LEAVE!!! if you are so embarrassed.
You could not even give me free tickets to go see this American Traitor . I will not listen to his music.
Bruce you embarrass New Jersey. If you wish you were born someplace else, go. Do it or shut up.
