I hope you’ve had a chance to see Bruce Springsteen’s newest single. Here’s the video:
Springsteen, it seems to me, is Woody Guthrie, Bob Dylan, and Johnny Cash all wrapped up into one. But he really isn’t quite as anti-establishment as his mentors. That’s probably why I love him the best of the four. I’m not really interested in being anti-establishment. I’m interested in taking power from the bastards and then being the establishment. Springsteen represents my values. Not just because he’s from Jersey, but because his vision isn’t about what’s wrong with this country but what’s right, or what can be made right with the right amount of organization and effort.
