Bruce Springsteen stayed away from controversial comments at his second Melbourne show after making global headlines as an ‘embarrassed American” at his show earlier in the week.
Springsteen “we stand before you embarrassed Americans” ricocheted through newsrooms all over America after Bruce opened his Melbourne show with The Orlons ‘Don’t Hang Up’ on Thursday.

The comment was designed to send “a letter back home” on Thursday night’s Melbourne show after the American demagogue Trump pompously ignored diplomacy to wage a war of works with the Australian Prime Minister on Twitter over the destitute citizens of society, the refugees.
