I love this song so much i love bruce and i love the message in this song 9/11 was very tragic but he always turns his songs into upbeat music i love it (:
I dont know what it says about the state of our nation but no single speech by any of our so called leaders , no film, poem or documentary has even approached the enduring impact and seering emotion of this. PITIFULLY on the one year anniversery of the September 11 attacks the BEST our media/political industrial complex could do was reread aloud the Gettsburg address across the country.

@rofflemows2 Born in the USA isn't Anti-American, it's about true Patriotism: to not be a bunch of brainwashed idiots when shit is going down, and standing up and criticizing the people who need to be. Born in The USA is REAL Pro-American music, it's not for brainwashed morons like you. Are you saying the Vietnam War was a good thing?
Amazing song!!! It's ashame Bruce didn't have it written a little faster. Not only would it have been perfect to play at the Concert for New York, but other than the Who, it would have been better than the other crap played at that concert.
Bruce should play this song at the new memorial. Maybe not this year but in the incoming years when its acceptable. Would be the most amazing thing ever
when i first heard this song our class saw rare footage of the outside bein struck and the inside of the towers as they fell. i never knew until last year that my own aunt was the pregnant woman they mentioned in that video. i feel ashamed for not listenin to this song more.
This song is the first song i ever herd by Bruce Springstreen . I was 7 years old when he brought home the album and iv been in love with it ever since but what does he mean by "the Rising" ???
Such a moving song. We'll never forget where we were when we heard the news about the horrors that transpired that day. Living about an hour from New York City, I remember seeing the smoke from my house. May all of those who risked their lives that day as well as the innocent people who did not make it out rest in peace.
@shaners12345 Underrated? He's called "The Boss",he has appeared simultaneously on the covers of Time and Newsweek magazines,audiences in countries where English is not the first language sing out loud every word to his songs at his shows;in English!That's pretty highly rated. Like it or not,his very vocal support of far left politicians has had a negative effect on his reputation among some,not all, of his fans.
@veritasrex66 I never cared about his politcs. I'd be considered conservative, but I don't make my entertainment choices based on my politics. Lifes too short to worry about that shit constantly. We should just be glad to live free enough to enjoy what music we wanna enjoy.
@AmaterasuSuigetsuFan ...Are you joking? This man is literally one of the most celebrated musical artists this country has ever seen. He get the fame he deserves, unless we forget about him. We won't be don't that now, right?
Jama, how about "Future Jihad" by Walid Phares, or "Why I left Jihad: The Root of Terrorism and the Return of Radical Islam" by Walid Shoebat (who's got a $10 million price on his head). That book'll knock your socks off. I said "Regan won the cold war" once, and that was over 2 weeks ago, so I don't know why you'd want me to "stop" like I'm repeating myself. Typical liberal argument though, looking back. And "jackass" is not a term of endearment, get over yourself. You suck. Deal with it.

Jama: why don't you point me in the direction of more hollywood movies to get my information from? And by all means, continue to defend the Taliban and chastise Bush and Blair for a mistake they made 7 years ago by going into Iraq. It's obvious you get your info from MSNBC and hollywood movies. Do us all a favor and read a book. Laugh at Bush all you want, I'm looking forward, not back. I suggest you do the same. And as for your "good boy" comment, I'm a woman, not a man. Jackass.
Pilot: In the real world we call him B-L-I-A-R. Because of his evident lack of honesty. Just basic things like going to war on a lie. Are you digesting that now? Good boy.
Now we can all continue laughing at the stupid things Bush said. The most loathed politician in modern history.
@checklight: I don't get my info from them, I just referenced the title of a book written by one of them. Talk about unbias info, at least Fox News keeps it on that channel and it doesn't spread to others like NBC's Saturday Night Live or Law an Order. Even John Stewart admits that his show has a "liberal point of view," though it's more entertainment than news. Seriously, try the BBC or Al Jazeera. I've found them to be the most neutral in reporting.
BOTH OF YOU JUST STOP. HOLY CRAP! Glen Beck and Limbaugh are blind. They only listen to themselves. They are too republican to give any unbiased information. Try COLBERT AND STEWART.
Yeah. Because I don't feel like listening to biased news like FOX or Limbaugh, or MSNBC or even the BBC. I feel like it's better to laugh @ the world's problems than complain constantly like the two children above and below us are doing.
jama, it's you who is in need of an education. Watch a movie called ISLAM: What the West Needs to Know. Wake up and smell the coffee brother. World peace is never going to happen no matter how many flowers you plant in your garden or how ignorant you are about what's going on around you.
pilot. You're in need of education. Maybe watch a movie called Wag The Dog. Not exactly liberal, Just enough to get your reactionary mind out of Fox News.
@ jama and pilot- before you say one more word, think about how pathetic it is to start a fight with one another over a song about love and peace. I see you Mary in the garden
@ChecklightStudios I'm sorry to inform you, but it's about a fire fighter climbing the steps of the twin towers on 9/11 trying to find survivors. The very part you quote, is when the firefighter realizes that he is not going to get out alive and will die. He is making his Peace with God. If you don't believe me, google the lyrics and follow along. This is NOT a song about peace unless you are a Muslim.
@ChecklightStudios A song about LOVE? Whose side are you on? Make your check out to to Osama bin Laden. The firefighter is losing his life, and in his final seconds sees Mary in the Garden. His life flashes before his eyes. He is drawn into whatever awaits him. Depends on what religion you believe in I guess. Heaven? Paradise with the virgins? hell? Your call, since this is a song about love and peace. Think about how pathetic it is to rant when you don't even know what the song is about
mhkpilot: Ignorance is instigating an illegal war. Going against the peoples wishes. People like Bliar didn't give two hoots about democracy, when they fired cruise missiles into civilian areas of Baghdad. They went against the democratic decision of the UN.
@jama, I'm glad for you that you live in a country that affords you the freedom to speak your mind to critisize the governments that provide you that freedom. I'm not going to continue to pick apart your ignorance. You're doing fine on your own.
mhkpilot: You shouldn't make lists about supposed injustice. Real injustice is dropping napalm on Vietnamese children, supporting evil despots like Pinochet, tooling up Israel, a regime that's evil beyond belief.
How tough that you're paying four dollars at the pumps.
mhkpilot: Nievity indeed. The last refuge of the scoundrel, to accuse people of being radical sympathisers. In Hoover's day they used to be accused of Communism, by a hysterical right wing society. Best not forget that America/ Britain armed Saddam to the teeth in the first place.
...who use suicide bombers and other terror tactics. It's a war of ideologies no matter how you cut it, Islamic fundamentalism vs. democracy/capitalism. Not oil. You're as nieve as they come, or perhaps a radical Islamic sympathizer, in which case we have nothing left to debate or discuss.
@jama. I can't argue with someone who fails to see the big picture. The Israelis are a "regime" now? Wake up and smell what you're shoveling. I'll stop talking about 9-11 and start talking about pan am 103? Marine barracks bombing in Lebenon? U.S. Military barracks bombing in Saudi Arabia? World Trade Center 1993? The 2 U.S. Embassy bombings in Africa? The attack on the U.S.S. Cole? And last I checked, I'm still paying close to $4 a gallon at the pumps. Funny how you defend the Palistinians...
...if the illegal war wasn't about oil, then why not invade other despot nations? America and Britain have already made sure that the oil reserves in Iraq be privatised..
The lack of compassion showed to the poor victims of hurricane Katrina, by Bush/Rumsfeld, only shows that they'd care a lot less for Afghans/Iraqi's
mhkpilot. How can you possibly say the war was brought on us? It's about time you stopped refering to the twin tower attacks, and learn about everything that's happened to the Palestinians. They've been getting slaughtered by a regime armed to the teeth by the west..
...we're at war with an ideology dude. Islamic fundamentalism is out to destroy democracy. You need to pull your head out of your ass and look at the big picture here hoss. WW2 wasn't about Germany vs the U.S., it was about facism vs. democracy. It's one thing to hate, it's another to hijack a jumbo-jet and fly it into a skyscraper. The war was brought upon us. I respect your views about bloodshed, but in the end, it's ours or theirs. Get it?
@jama, you've got a very dangerous way of thinking about the world. Ronald Reagan won the cold war, 'nuf said on that. Who's creating negativity on Muslims? Do you even know what Islamic Fundamentalism is? What their ideology and goals are? This war isn't about oil, as much as the left would like to believe. This is a war of ideology, not about borders or flags or commodities. If Islamic fundamentalists came from Antarctica, you can bet your ass we'd invade Antarctica....
Kumbaya's not a bad song. Better than tunes leading the blind into bloody battles. Battles to keep the arms industry in profit. not to mention the sleazy oil multinationals.
mhkpilot.. Worry not about grammar, or spelling mistakes. Stop worrying full stop.
Ronald Reagan (another disgrace) once put America on a national state of alert. The country who posed the threat...Nicaragua. fear is the thing that controls people like yourself.
It's almost perverse to create negativity towards Muslim's, through illegal and unjust wars.
...alive who was part of the 9/11 plot was hiding in Afghanistan behind the sheild of the Taliban. So yeah,I really don't see the difference. Maybe they should have chosen a hideout where there weren't any plans for an oil pipeline? If you want to continue with your liberal ideology that we should all hold hands and sing kumbaya, be my guest. We tried that with the Japanese before they bombed Pearl Harbor, remember? Get your face out of MSNBC and read a history book. It tends to repeat itself.
Jamm, you're obviously not informed, or educated. "Along," the way you use it, is 2 words: "a long." And "pipe line," the way you use it, is 1 word "pipeline." All the 9/11hijackers were Saudis? Mohamed Atta was Egyptian. Citizens of the UAE and Lebenon were also involved. And I never said that there were Afghan hijackers. I said that the ruling band of thugs in that country were. I know the technical differences between the Taliban and Al Qaeda. But really, on Sept 12th, everyone left...
mhkham09: You're obviously not informed. There's along term strategy in place for oil pipe lines, to go through various countries (including Afghanistan)
Another main point to prove you're not learning...there were no Afghans on the hijacked planes. They were Saudis. Remember? The oil rich dictatorship, with close economic ties to the west.
Jamajazz, you make no sense. Dead civilians in Afghanistan? What about the dead civilians in Rwanda? We're not in Afghanistan for the oil. There is no oil there. We're there cause the ruling gang of thugs in that country hijacked airliners and flew them into buildings. Maybe we should ask those civilians in the airplanes and buildings what they think?
One thing has "grew" for sure. The amount of dead civilians in Afghanistan. We've already destroyed Iraq. Bush said "God told me to do it" Enough said about him.
New York and London looks pretty ok. Everything looks pretty smug and neat there. It's Kabul and Baghdad that resembles a cemetery.
Let's get our interfering buttocks out. It's not neccessary to obliterate countries for oil. Just ask civilised people that.
What else can Obama do? Let capitalism run it's corse. Stop bailing out failed companies. If GM isn't making money, let them fail. Chrysler isn't making money, let them fail. Instead the government is keeping a doomed company alive to keep draining money off the American people. Chrysler makes a junk car. Unfortunatly I know: I own one. Let it fail, a new/better company will sprout up in it's place. That's how it works. Instead Obama throws billions into a proven failure. Just print more $.
Bush created more suicide bombers, but they're not blowing themselves up on the streets of NYC. See how that works? And what is a "very minor" terrorist attack? At what body count does it turn into a "major" terrorist attack? Come on dude, get real. 9/11 would have never happend if Clinton did something about it when he had the chance. Instead he ignored the threat, and it grew. He sat on his hands.
I can't feel nothing but this chain that binds me. Lost track of how far I've gone, how high I've climbed. On my back' is a sixty pound stone, on my shoulder a half mile of line....Come on up for the rising, come on up, lay your hands in mine, come on up for the rising, come on up for the rising tonight..... What a wonderful song! You're the epitome of a true American, BOSS!
yes its nils! at least you comment on the music? oh ye it is a song on this video, you'd think it was a war video the way all these ejits keep argueing!
By the time Clinton left office, yeah, no debt, but he took no steps to smash Al-Qaeda when he could have, leaving it for Bush to deal with. It's easy to say "oh, Clinton didn't spend any moeny, Bush did," but that's like saying "this car I'm selling you has run great, I've never spent a dime on it," then you buy it and it falls apart. You can't blame Bush for spending the money to solve the problems Clinton should have solved when he was in office.
How? That's for the president to decide. I'm not going to speculate on what methods would be best. But watching it grow for 8 years all the while getting hit by them; apparently launching a cruise missle or two didn't cut it. There were 2 attacks on U.S. embassies, the truck bombing at the World Trade Center, USS Cole and even an assasination attempt on Clinton in Manila in 96 that was foiled minutes before his motorcade was to drive over a bridge that had a bomb planted on it. He did nothing.
@mhkpilot Yeah but what did Bush do? The worst terror attack ever happened and hedid nothing to stop them. In my opinion 9-11 out weighs those dingy attacks by a lot more.
so you say Clinto should have solved the problem while he was in office so it wasnt Bushs fault but then maintain its not Bushs fault for the problems Obama is facing?! Huh! You repubs conviently forget, Guliani said it again on good morning america yesterday (and Stephonoplis didnt call him on it, that Bush kept us safe from terrorist attacks! Huh! The biggest attack in US history happend on Bush's watch! Ask Condi Rice is the PDB told them "Terroist determined to strike" In septmbr was ignored
Bush did keep us safe from terrorist attacks. He was in office for only 9 months on 9/11. You think that attack was concieved and planned in 9 months? After the attack, he took the front off the streets of New York, D.C., rural PA and the skies above the U.S. to the Mts of Afghanistan and the streets of Iraq. We repubs convieniently forget what?
Condi Rice, Bushs national security adviser and later Sec. of State, gave Bush something called a PDB, Presidential Dailey Briefing, on national security that a president gets every day. In that briefing she told him the report said "Terrorist were determined to strike America" and he decided to do nothing. Obama has been in office less than 11 months, does that mean Obama was not responsible for what happened so far? Or in the first 9 months only? When does a Presidents responsibility begin?
Bush gets a letter "terrorists were determined." No kidding. That was kind of obvious after world trade center bombing number 1 on Clinton's watch, no? 2 embassy bombings? Still nothing. And no, I wouldn't say Obama is responisble for this mess, but spending Trillions of dollars we don't have durring an economic recession, that's just stupid. Look, the 5 min a day I'm devoting to this argument isn't worth my time. I'm not going to change your mind, you're not going to change mine.
@mhkpilot Those "terrorist" attacks during the Clinton adminastration were very minor, but the worst terror attack ever happened when Bush was in office. And whatelse can Obama do? He atleast is trying to fix the money crisis.
Bush spent 5 Trillion in 8 years, most of which was spent fighting a war on 2 fronts. Obama has spent 3.3 Trillion in less than a year buying up auto manufacturers, paying wall-street CEO's their bonuses and buying "clunkers." Really? Yes. Really.
The national debt on 12/31/2001 was $5.9 Trillion. The national debt on 12/31/2008 was $10.7 Trillion. Ok, he didn't spend $5 Trillion. He only spent $4.8 Trillion.
i dont think you both really understand what this song is all about. It is about the great men and women who put there lives on the line for others during 9-11
I'm sure you are amused. The name calling was a kneejerk reaction to a (once again) distorted political slant on what has really happend to this country in the past 20 years. As for being hard to get out of debt, isn't it Obama who's spending Trillions of dollars we don't have ("we'll just print more!") on a "stimulus" campaign that isn't working? Liberal Jer...see? There I go again.
This is a great song but you commentators once again prove you know nothing about politics. You must all be young ....I remember when I was young and uninformed....seemed like such a looong time ago. I would only encourage you to keep trying to find the truth and listen to Bruce...even though he knows nothing about politics either....
It dosn't matter WHO you vote for. Democracy is over. It is just a sham to keep the masses quiet. The world is now owned and run by the 'elite' on behalf of the 'elite.' The main policy is to avoid a 3rd world war at all costs whilst enriching the elite.
people lets not argue on the internet its really pointless. i dont care if you agree with me or not everyone has there own opnion they are entitled to
obama is not anti democratic and only wishes to help those who simply don't get it when there is no one to give them a leg up. do you really want a darwinian society which leaves the poor and vulnerable to suffer?? if you can't appreciate that bush's american did not do enough to combat poverty and political apathy by the state, then i pity you because you lack a social conscience, at least listen to what others have to say.
Obama's administration is IDENTICAL to the Bush administration. If you disliked him you should dislike Obama. And your full of shit if you think any differently.
oh, YEAH, i must have just ignored the past year and a half, cos CLEARLY Obama and Bush are like political twins!!! how silly of me! :( are you being funny, cos i hope you are. if you aren't taking the piss, then explain how you come to the conclusion that they're the same. Its twats like you that make american politics a wasted effort in my opinion. Give me actual examples of similarities in policy between bush and obama. i can't wait to see this!
Added another year to the U.S. State of Emergency declaration
Troop Surges in Afghanistan
Attempting to create legal architecture to legally keep detainees at Gitmo
Yes on wiretapping
Domestic terrorisim bill
Increased military spending
I could go and on into detail about specific bills and legislation... but your a complete and total idiot so you wouldn't understand. So forget it your hopeless.
6. domestic terrorism bill, i'm not sure about that one, maybe you are right? shocker!
7. increased military spending - afghanistan surge, duh! at least he's focusing effort where problems are.
8. you say i'm a complete idiot, if you think that then i'm sad because you ar purely behaving like the tabloid press in england and fox news in the US. sensationalist, distorting or making up facts, and generally knocking anyone who has anything decent to bring to the table because it sells papers!!
1. welfare for the rich - you are actually wrong on that one.
2. you are wrong on this one too
3. yeah, you are right but obama is focusing on afghanistan because there are terrorists there rather than bush focusing on iraq (which obama opposed) which was nothing to do with 9/11 or a war on terror.
4. you are again wrong, he's pledged to shut down guantanamo, i don't know where you got your facts from.
27 million for the rich, shut up about that cos it's simply not a valid or truthful fact. secondly, Guantanamo (not GITMO, i don't know how you think thats an abbreviation!) is still open because if you actually watch the news, Obama has laid down plans to close it by the end of january. Watch the news once in a while! i notice that you didn't address the other points, oh well, i can't say i'm surprised!
You're right, I have no idea where you get your statements (its a bit over-confident to call them facts don't you think?!) from, but so much of what you say is simply either a distortion of the truth or simply wrong! I live on earth, but I live in england which is part of europe which is less right wing and conservative than america, so i'd expect you to express the kind of cynicism and bigotry that you do, I don't know why you insist on attacking Obama,
but frankly the majority both disagree with you and get bored of your views. Get some legitimate facts, listen to what others say and stop watching FOX!
this song is amazing my social studies teacher played this song for my whole grade yesterday (9/11) i guess my teacher thinks this song is a tribute to 9/11 victims or something
You have company there Mr. Majestic. I was there, and have images seared into my memory. If you cry when you hear this song, you may want to think about seeing him in person, as that is really tough to handle. I can't, and cry every time he does it in person.
I'd hate to be you guys, you're supposed to start off loving crap bands then find taste, if you've started with Bruce then you've only down hill to go!
Highland your first love was the Beatles? Mine too. My Mother thought The Stones were "bad" so instead I used my meager wages to buy The Animals albums

Jama, how about "Future Jihad" by Walid Phares, or "Why I left Jihad: The Root of Terrorism and the Return of Radical Islam" by Walid Shoebat (who's got a $10 million price on his head). That book'll knock your socks off. I said "Regan won the cold war" once, and that was over 2 weeks ago, so I don't know why you'd want me to "stop" like I'm repeating myself. Typical liberal argument though, looking back. And "jackass" is not a term of endearment, get over yourself. You suck. Deal with it.

@ChecklightStudios I'm sorry to inform you, but it's about a fire fighter climbing the steps of the twin towers on 9/11 trying to find survivors. The very part you quote, is when the firefighter realizes that he is not going to get out alive and will die. He is making his Peace with God. If you don't believe me, google the lyrics and follow along. This is NOT a song about peace unless you are a Muslim.

@ChecklightStudios A song about LOVE? Whose side are you on? Make your check out to to Osama bin Laden. The firefighter is losing his life, and in his final seconds sees Mary in the Garden. His life flashes before his eyes. He is drawn into whatever awaits him. Depends on what religion you believe in I guess. Heaven? Paradise with the virgins? hell?

By the time Clinton left office, yeah, no debt, but he took no steps to smash Al-Qaeda when he could have, leaving it for Bush to deal with.

There were 2 attacks on U.S. embassies, the truck bombing at the World Trade Center, USS Cole and even an assasination attempt on Clinton in Manila in 96 that was foiled minutes before his motorcade was to drive over a bridge that had a bomb planted on it. He did nothing.

Bush did keep us safe from terrorist attacks. He was in office for only 9 months on 9/11. You think that attack was concieved and planned in 9 months? After the attack, he took the front off the streets of New York, D.C., rural PA and the skies above the U.S. to the Mts of Afghanistan and the streets of Iraq. We repubs convieniently forget what?
mhkpilot 2 years ago
Condi Rice, Bushs national security adviser and later Sec. of State, gave Bush something called a PDB, Presidential Dailey Briefing, on national security that a president gets every day. In that briefing she told him the report said "Terrorist were determined to strike America" and he decided to do nothing. Obama has been in office less than 11 months, does that mean Obama was not responsible for what happened so far? Or in the first 9 months only? When does a Presidents responsibility begin?
matthewandsteven 2 years ago
Bush gets a letter "terrorists were determined." No kidding. That was kind of obvious after world trade center bombing number 1 on Clinton's watch, no? 2 embassy bombings? Still nothing. And no, I wouldn't say Obama is responisble for this mess, but spending Trillions of dollars we don't have durring an economic recession, that's just stupid.
