I disagree that 'Born in the USA' is an anti-American song. Rather, it's a snapshot of what life was like for Vietnam vets when they returned from that war -- not pretty for them. And the war was not pretty, either. Springsteen himself says at the concert in Barcelona before his performance that it was written during the Vietnam war and he was offering it now as a prayer for peace. Many Americans disagreed with the Vietnam war, and many are presently praying for peace in Iraq.
The ability to publicly dissent is a cherished freedom among Americans. This song helps celebrate that.

United States Blues – Grateful Dead
Red and white/blue suede shoes
I'm Uncle Sam /how do you do?
Gimme five/I'm still alive
Ain't no luck/I learned to duck
Check my pulse/it don't change
Stay seventy two/come shine or rain
Wave the flag/pop the bag
Rock the boat/skin the goat
Wave that flag
Wave it wide and high
Summertime
Done come and gone
My oh my
I'm Uncle Sam /that's who I am
Been hidin' out/in a rock and roll band
Shake the hand that shook the hand
Of P.T. Barnum/and Charlie Chan
Shine your shoes/light your fuse
Can you use/them ol' U.S. Blues?
I'll drink your health/share your wealth
Run your life/steal your wife
Wave that flag
Wave it wide and high
Summertime done
Come and gone
My oh my
Back to back/chicken shack
Son of a gun/better change your act
We're all confused/what's to lose?
You can call this song/the United States Blues
Wave that flag
Wave it wide and high
Summertime done come and gone
My oh My
Summertime done come and gone
My oh My -

Here's the finest rendition of the Star Spangled Banner I've ever heard. Whitney Houston performed it at Super Bowl #25 in Tampa, Florida on 1/25/1991.
Simply marvelous.
