What Does 'Born In The U.S.A.' Really Mean?

[longknife]

How many of us really paid attention to the lyrics?


I always thought it was a patriotic song about the greatness of living in America.

"Bruce started every show with a really rousing, anthemic-type version of 'Born in the U.S.A.,' " Christie recalls. "With a bandanna on and a cutoff shirt and the fist-pumping, it felt like a celebration of being born in the USA — when really, it's a defiant song about 'I was born in the USA, and I deserve better than what I'm getting.' I think plenty of people didn't get what it was about, including the president of the United States."

What was your take on it?


Much more about this and others @ What Does 'Born In The U.S.A.' Really Mean?

It’s about a Vietnam vet who returns home and finds out that after serving his country, his country has failed him.

It sure did. We were warned back in the 1950s it was happening even before then but we didn't listen.

That’s not ‘Murican enough! Our vets are the greatest vets! We love them more than any other country loves their vets! Well, except the ones that were captured, of course.
