I went to a Bruce Springsteen concert in the 80s at the LA Coliseum. It was the only concert I ever left.
The stage was set with a huge US flag as the backdrop. I don’t remember the song—it might have been the opening number—but at/near the end of the song, the flag was dropped to the stage.
I and my group left immediately in disgust.
To this day, when a Springsteen song comes on, I change channels or mute the radio for a few minutes.
The song was probably "Born in the USA" released June of '84.
I've never liked Springsteen, he's always given dbag vibes. Now the vibes are shown to the public. I was a teenager in the 80's and already redpilled. Good on you for leaving, shame he still got paid.
“Born in the U.S.A.” can be placed amongst those classic American tunes in which the chorus is so powerful (and catchy) that the ultimate meaning of the song may be lost to most listeners. Indeed on the surface, with Bruce “the Boss” Springsteen powerfully exclaiming his country of birth, this track can easily be perceived as an exercise in patriotism. Yet quite to the contrary, it was originally conceptualized as a criticism of the Vietnam War.
Said conflict proved to be an American military fiasco in the eyes of many, including apparently the Boss himself. Moreover some analysts have argued that concurrently the lyrics are meant to chastise the American rat race, if you will.
So from the onset of the lyrics, we see that even since birth, the singer has found himself in an inherently-disadvantaged position. In fact said setback is so pronounced that he and others born in a similar situation will have to dedicate ‘half their lives’ just to reach fair ground.
"Born in the U.S.A." by Bruce Springsteen is often misunderstood as a patriotic anthem, but it actually critiques American society and policy, particularly regarding the treatment of Vietnam veterans. The song highlights themes of disillusionment and economic hardship faced by returning soldiers, contrasting its upbeat chorus with somber verses that reflect a sense of alienation and despair.

It's really poignant because the Vietnam Vets have been treated quite badly. Yes, he might just be a DS pawn just like Katy Perry or Madonna.
You are right about how they were treated but I don't think that's what he means.
What do you think he mean?
He hates the war, military and America as it is.
Is he one of them demons of the Hollywood hills?
I am not sure.
Something tells me he'll regret it.........
He can FAFO and go somewhere else like Ellen
Fuck that libtard fag. His music sucks anyway
Yes. I don't like his music.
Big Music, Big Hollywood, Big Sports and Big Anything are ALL riddled with evil left-tards. Other music douche bags:
Hollywood douche bags:
Sports douche bags:
So Bruce is part of the Big Music demon then?
Poster boy
Used to be.
New 28M dollar ICE pick-up facility just opened. Thanks for the assist, Bruce!
Definitely.
"what's this song about?"

On fire over a car?
I am not sure. The lyrics seem suspect to me though.
"Hey little girl, is your daddy home? Did he go and leave you all alone? Mhmm I got a bad desire Oh, oh, oh, I'm on fire
Tell me now, baby, is he good to you? And can he do to you the things that I do? Oh no I can take you higher Oh, oh, oh, I'm on fire
Sometimes it's like someone took a knife, baby Edgy and dull and cut a six inch valley Through the middle of my skull
At night I wake up with the sheets soaking wet And a freight train running through the middle of my head."
You think he is a pedo? Probably.
Probably. Allegedly. lol.
He's famous and he's supporting the liberals. I wouldn't be shocked to find out he is into weird sexual activities.
Hope he falls off stage and breaks a hip. He's always been a leftist douche but just wrapped himself in the American flag to try and hide it.
No he didn't.
Listen to the words they are anti American.
Born in the USA.

…not…
Dropped his faux concern for the "common man" as soon as he accumulated sufficient FU money.
