    So things weren't going your way here in the USA; instead of trying to change things and make them better you ran to Europe for two years?

    Lol

    Proud to be American!

    Not like that Bruce guy who's embarrassed to be American.

    He is like Bon Jovi and Nickelback, sells some records but not many will really admit to being a fan.

    If you weren't a fan of PJ you'd barely hear of him anymore.

    You know it is true.

    Out of all the odd things you've said, this is one of the odder ones.

    You need to get out of that compound of yours more.

    I am being serious. He makes his money by touring, he haan't released anything relevant since the 80's.

    Kinda like Metallica.

    Bruce and u2 are probably the two biggest bands in the world. Bruce sells out everywhere!

    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
    Just wasn't smart on his part - just alienated a large part of his fanbase....
    I think Bruce knows what he's doing, always being political etc... but I bet he's thankful for your concern...

    (Not sure why it would be wrong saying you're embarrassed of your country btw. Get of that stupid nationalistic horse "America")

    Though strangely enough each of his last four albums have hit #1 in the US and much of the rest of the world. Possibly not relevant to you, though.

    Record sales reflect it.

    And if he wants to Dixie Chicks himself and get right next to Madonna then let him.
