I saw the Boss sing on the Grammys last night. It reminded me of his most commercially successful song, "Born in the USA." Many people continue to believe this is a song akin to a rallying cry for nationalism. President Reagan even tried to enlist the song in his re-election campaign in 1984.

Obviously they never read the lyrics to the song. It's a story about a Vietnam veteran going off to war and falling in love. He then comes home and is treated like shit by everyone around him.
