“I still don’t understand why Trump is using it. Has anybody associated with the campaign bothered to listen to the lyrics? It’s the exact opposite of rah rah.”
Same goes for Bruce Springsteen’s “Born in the USA”. Listen to the lyrics and it is not a pro-USA song IMO.
Trump really knows how to push the buttons of these sanctimonious rockers and I love it.
Very much so. I think people don’t listen past the hook. “’Born in the USA’ yeah!” “’Rockin in the freeworld’ you bet!”. Umm guys... Especially in this internet age. One can be excused for maybe not hearing the song right, especially with Bruce’s style of singing, but you can look up the lyrics, one easy google search.
