This article also brings up the problem of misinterpretation of lyrics or the
taking of lyrics out context to be used for political or commercial uses.
During the 1984 American Presidential election campaign then President Ronald
Reagan in an appearance in New Jersey used Bruce Springsteen's Born In The
USA claiming that his political agenda was in sync with Springsteen's words
and lyrics.
If you just listened to chorus you could say that. But if you read the
entire lyric you would realize that Springsteen was talking about how the
Vietnam Vet had been shafted by the American Government, Media and even the
American People.
Another reason to question what your politicians, media conglomerates and
corporations are selling you.
