He’ll get more attention for that song than for that recent movie about him making Nebraska, I bet.

I’m sure the Rolling Stone editors have the obligatory five stars already polished off and ready to hand him, followed by his 75 year old mug on the cover with a caption like “Bruce Springsteen’s RESTLESS SOUL” or something like that.

Not that I have any problem with the song. Ask the rednecks supporting ICE how they felt about Ruby Ridge and watch their greasy faces turn paler than they already are. This is assuming they even know what Ruby Ridge is, which they may very well not (I’ve met kids from Oklahoma today who have never heard of Timothy McVeigh or the bombing–No Culture, and No Trees!)
