The most American musician in the whole entire world, Bruce Springsteen, has hit out at claims that he is unpatriotic, due to his politically-charged songs and outspoken remarks about the way America is run.
He said: "It's unpatriotic at any given moment to sit back and let things pass that are damaging a place that you love so dearly and has given me so much. I still feel like a beacon of hope and possibility. When it gets dark you're supposed to be singing. And it's dark now. The American idea is a beautiful idea and it needs to be preserved, served, protected and sung out".
