Bored in the USA? I’ve never been able to stomach any of his crap. EVER!

Randy Newman wrote an anthem for Bruce Springsteen a long time ago.

I was a teenager, but I wasn’t so stupid that I didn’t analyze lyrics to songs people around me were playing and singing.

I hated the song then, and hate it now.

[posterchild]

I’ve always been amazed and disgusted with people who play Born in the USA during Fourth of July parades.

I do have a constitutional quibble with Lee Greenwoods song - men died *defending* my right to be free but only God *gave* that right to me.

He’s also pissing on the flag on the album cover.

** Springsteen Sucks Ping List **

And “Born in the USA” is Kommie drivel

[Governor Dinwiddie]

"Bored in the USA".

Megadittos.

I can’t answer for all the gals or old school men. Springsteen was and is communist crap.

Songs of renown, disagreement and later conversation is great. If you believe in the land of the free. I appreciate good dialogue.

(Brothers and sisters, am on my phone. May need some help. Oh ya, you are welcome to pump up the volume. I will probably end up screwing up this post due to phone incompetence, all my fault as a man. Don’t let a woman read this.

Many others, have to go for an appointment. Blessings! Founded

Reagan was reelected with nearly 60 percent of the vote, 49 of 50 states

OF COURSE, Northern Commieville [Minnesota] was the one state that didn't vote for Reagan. Along with the District of Commies.

[dfwgator]

The Minnesota race was close enough to challenge, but they decided not to bother.

[kiryandil]

Minnesota has been rigged for DECADES. Effin Commies.

Someone you liked and then they turn out to be a total prick. I guess Fame and Fortune
can screw with some people's heads.

I mean, this dumbass supported Kamala Harris. LOL.

[E. Pluribus Unum]

Someone you liked and then they turn out to be a total prick.

James Taylor is another one

I just have to dismiss the views of ‘artists’, they tend to have a warped view of the world, I guess it just comes with the territory.

[Jumper]

I always hated this guy from the time ran his mouth about his politics.

[stevio]

Hey, that does look like what he’s doing. What a POS from way back.

[Tell It Right]

I sometimes hear the song like it's a slam not against America, but against the left, and particularly the entertainment industry, being too harsh on Vietnam veterans. Maybe a slam on all of us for not looking out for the veterans.

The song says a veteran can't get a good job because he spent his early adult years fighting a pointless war. So the only job he can do is the refinery near the prison. His brother is MIA in Vietnam (suggesting we didn't do enough to bring home MIA's).

[Codeflier]

I was about 15. I caught on immediately that it was an anti-American song. Never understood why the masses treated it as patriotic.
