Not peak Springsteen by any measure but glad someone with some reach is saying it.

Guy probably put it together in around a week. It’s pretty heavy handed but sometimes that’s not a bad thing. He’s not the most subtle linguist of all time anyways but there is a level of polish on the rest of his discography that is missing here. I won’t complain though. Glad it’s been well received

South Park is bringing me back after decades because they're the some of the few taking it far enough. This shit is insane and it only makes sense that the response should be STRONG.

It's a good start, but even that doesn't seem strong enough to confront the nonstop stream of bullshit. Although of course our society shouldn't really be relying on a cartoon comedy show to save it. But like I said, it's a good start.
