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:
Come on Bruce, have seen you live in the 70’s 89’s 90’s 00’s 10’s, looking forward to the 20’s but your politics are all wrong, Trump 2020, stick with the music, you don’t need to be preaching to International crowds negatively about our President, it’s un American!
He belongs in Hokeywood with the rest of the radical left anti Americans. I will never listen to another song.
Comments fail to describe his lunacy. Go to anywhere else and see if it’s really to your liking. Try Cuba, Venezuela, any communist or Islamic country and see how that works, or even the UK or Canada where ‘free speech’ is often only ‘free’ if you speak PC.
You are nothing but an annoying ANTIAMERICAN screamer. Give it up old boy. You ROT not Rock
Wizz off Mumbles Springsprung
Too many singers and actors and actresses use the stage for political gain said that we spen hard earn money for this
He turned out to be a sad disappointment.
Stick to music Bruce. Don’t need or want your opinion
We are embarrassed , too , Bruce . Embarrassed that a has-been former star can make such an un-American ass out of himself …
I used to be a fan but absolutely sick of celebrities using their stage where they make tons of money as a platform to bash our country and President.
