What's Bruce really doing in this iconic cover?

Fans of The Boss will know this, but ... some people thought the cover was implying Springsteen was urinating on the flag.

He denied it: "That was unintentional. We took a lot of different types of pictures, and in the end, the picture of my ass looked better than the picture of my face, that's what went on the cover.

I didn't have any secret message. I don't do that very much," he told Rolling Stone magazine in 1984.
