America’s most patriotic music is not what you think it is

Born in the USA is perhaps Bruce Springsteen’s most popular and important album, but there is actually a deeper meaning behind this album, and one that isn’t so patriotic.

I came from a working class family who were no fans of Reagan, but I can tell you this, life in the 80's was way better than what's going on right now. We had it so good compared to this current b.s.

He's a bit of a fraud, he claims "Trump does know what it means to be an American". I think it is Bruce who is the ignorant one.

The more I listened to Bruce and any other rockers since 1983 the more conservative I became. Their political views mean nothing to be and could not make up my mind for nothing

Bruce Springsteen opposed Trump using his song "Born in the U.S.A." at Trump's political rallies in 2016. Rather than take legal action, he openly announced his support for Trump's opponent, Hillary Clinton, and campaigned in support of her.

Bruce is rock music for adults, for people with adult problems. Bruce says he grew as a musucian by listebing to US country music: divorce, lost jobs, kids whse needs you cant meet. Bruce takes adult life seriously.

The characters in the river Nebraska and BITUSA were struggling from president Carters failed policies. Deja vu with Bidenomics. Trump is is the new Bruce these days

I have a complaint about this video. Overall I liked it, just like I've liked the past few videos of his I watched this evening. But playing that music over the talking was so distracting. Like it's hard for me to focus on him talking about Springsteen's first two albums while he's playing Glory Days.

I would consider it vey patriotic, because it was about the country and love and desire for it. He certainly wasnt putting it down. I remember all that and saw that tour. I got Bruce's views. And I loved it when he pushed back when reagan tried to coopt the music for his political spin and use. The comparison of the two is interesting. Ronnie wanted the 1950's hollywood concept, aspire to better and almost ignore reality, think of the future. Bruce was similar to the 70s non Hollywood glitz, director films, like deerhunter or other gritty real life films, seeing American life for what it is . That was the mood of the late 70s and early 80s, basically post vietnam and a hard economy. I wonder if bruce didnt have the US flag used so much if the songs would have been viewed differently back then. I thought it was a bit too much. . The songs were coopted by a type of flag waving patriotism. But bruce certainly has patriotism and a love for his people and country.

You have to disguise protest as patriotic to avoid censorship. Sadly.

90% of the comments here are entirely too political rather than centering on the music & the absolute brilliance of Springsteen’s songwriting and his ability to bring people together in the name of love, passion and reflection of life. Obviously, Springsteen swings left, but there’s no reason for so much animosity. If you don’t like the message change the channel. The political right is so aggressively verbal about their anger & discontentment. Just looking for any target to bash in the name of WOKE OR DEMOCRAT OR LEFTIST OR LIBERAL because their own political leaders are a bunch of blithering idiots! Good luck in court…

No disrespect kid , but your from England and are only repeating what you have been told from a one sided Liberal Media and music business. He has said in his own words “ I’m a professional liar “ meaning he wasn’t a working class hero he was a talented songwriter who could make you believe he was. He has lost his credibility by doing what he himself has told others what not to do. Which is never follow anyone blindly , which is what he has been doing in the party that is destroying America .
