Bruce Springsteen, a once proud American with his song “Born in the USA” said at a concert in Australia he's embarrassed to be an American.

The 67-year-old addressed the crowd as "embarrassed Americans" referring to President Trump in the White House in a newly-surfaced clip from his show in Melbourne Monday night.

He sang a cover of "Don’t Hang Up" mocking Trump’s phone call with Australian Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull.

Hey Bruce.

Shut up and sing. Didn’t like you but watched a documentary of your band, and realized you did write all of those songs, so warmed a little to recognize your ability.

Now this, you are back to my S....T list... Go sing/play for ISIS and move to Iran..

You didn’t deserve to be “Born In The USA”

Note to Bruce Springsteen:

Get in your car, take your passport and American Express Card, drive to the airport and please leave.

Springsteen and another faded rock star, Bon Jovi, performed at the massive Philadelphia campaign rally on Election Eve (Nov. 7) for Clinton that went for naught as she went on to lose Pennsylvania despite winning Phila. by 470,000 votes, who knows how many were legitimate. On stage that night, while performing songs at the rally (”the Boss”, BTW this is also the term his war staff used for Hitler), Springsteen said “Tomorrow, Trump’s ideas and that campaign are going down”. He must be a better songster than a political prognosticator, he and the equally aged Bon Jovi got quite a surprise the next night.

I am embarrassed that I once bought his albums. It is a mistake I won’t make again.

Here’s the lyrics. Agree with your assessment. People fell for the catch line

source: metro lyrics.com


Born down in a dead man’s town
The first kick I took was when I hit the ground
End up like a dog that’s been beat too much
Till you spend half your life just covering up

Born in the U.S.A., I was born in the U.S.A.
I was born in the U.S.A., born in the U.S.A.

Got in a little hometown jam
So they put a rifle in my hand
Sent me off to a foreign land
To go and kill the yellow man

Born in the U.S.A., I was born in the U.S.A.
Born in the U.S.A., born in the U.S.A.

Come back home to the refinery
Hiring man said “son if it was up to me”
Went down to see my V.A. man
He said “son, don’t you understand”

I had a brother at Khe Sahn
Fighting off the Viet Cong
They’re still there, he’s all gone

He had a woman he loved in Saigon
I got a picture of him in her arms now

Down in the shadow of the penitentiary
Out by the gas fires of the refinery
I’m ten years burning down the road
Nowhere to run ain’t got nowhere to go

Source: metro lyrics.com

Born in the U.S.A., I was born in the U.S.A.
Born in the U.S.A., I’m a long gone daddy in the U.S.A.
Born in the U.S.A., born in the U.S.A.
Born in the U.S.A., I’m a cool rocking daddy in the U.S.A.

I have been playing drums in Rock Bands since 1973 (I was 13). I have never played, owned or listened to a whole Springsteen song in my life. He sucked then and he sucks now.

> I’m embarrassed he’s an American too.

I don't whats worse. Him being embarrassed to be an American or him being so lame he makes stupid political statements like this to become relevant to the leftists so he can get more concert bookings. And to think he wrote "Born in the USA". Maybe the Muslims he so pretends to love will help him "Die in the USA". He can pen it in Hell. Satan and Soros will love it.

I have always been aware of what was in his crap songs.

He thinks he's the second coming of Woody Guthrie or something and is a hell of lot more impressed by himself than others are.

But, stupid people and immature dummies give him money to see/hear him spew crap...so there ya go.

He doesn't speak to or for me...never has.

He’s embarrassed? I’m embarrassed to admit I bought one of his albums a bazillion years ago.

One of the most overrated musicians in history. I remember him be touted in 1975 as “the next Dylan.” I laughed then, and I’m still laughing. Almost all the good groups in the 1960s and early 1970s made hits out of Bob Dylan songs. Out of Bruce Springsteen songs? Not so much.

Roger that. I’ve been playing guitar in bands on and off since ‘63. Never have, never will play anything by him.
