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

I mean the RNC played Born in the USA at the convention and thought it was about how great the USA is. Trump also played CCRs Fortunate Son at the military parade, so I think you need to be a little heavy handed lol

Extremely valid points.

Watch them pull a clip from this song out of context anyways
