    I cant wait for the next tour so I can laugh about all the Trumpsters upset that Eddie spoke his mind and exercised his freedom of speech. I don't think he'll be silent the next time out. Heck, maybe my membership number will get me really close because the Trumpsters will stay home?

    There is nothing any of you could say that would hurt MY feelings. I am an adult with MY own opinions. I like that the United States is supposedly a land where free speech is allowed/encouraged. I would never say I was embarrassed to be an American. That is down-right un-patriotic. Bruce can go piss up a rope....

    And your thoughts and beliefs are why President Trump governs you now.

    So since trump doesn't encouraged free speech, what do you think about that?

    And Bruce, an American as well, has HIS own opinion 'in a land where free speech is encouraged'.

    I think you meant to say free speech that echoes your values is encouraged.

    He couldn't give two shits what you think about him.

    Hey man, I'll say it. I'm embarrassed by this president and I don't give a damn if that makes you question my patriotism. I know that I love my country deeply and that I'm fortunate to been born here. But part of being patriotic is calling out bullshit when you see it. Sorry that you're so in love with America that you don't see the flaws.

    I'm just going to go out on a limb and guess you weren't always behind President Obama 100%... but I'm sure you were still a patriot in your eyes.

    I moved to Europe for the last 2 years of Obamas term. I didn't agree with much of what he did, but I kept my thoughts to myself and definitely didn't bash others when stated they supported him. I suggest Trump dissenters try some civility as well....

    Because we all know Obama is to the right what trump is to the left!! trump gets heat, not just because he act like a entitled 13 year old bully, but because we love our country and the values it embodies. trump is taking a dump on these values.

    Just because you chose one form of freedom of speech, don't bash those who choose to voice theirs in another manner.
    I can assure you Bruce Springsteen loves this country and would not speak up if he were not fearful for what he sees happening now.

    Bruce just should have said he was upset that Trump was elected - I would never say he was an embarrassed American.

    Bruce is embarrassed. Are you saying 'don't speak freely'?

    Nope - just that he should use different words.

    Obviously you're not grasping the "free" part of "free speech".

    Free =\= your perception of an issue
