Protest Music is "Patriotic."

Springsteen: "This is a song called Livin' In the Future. But it's really about what's happening now. Right now. It's kind of about how the things we love about America, cheeseburgers, French fries, the Yankees battlin' Boston... the Bill of Rights...." "But over the past six years we've had to add to the American picture: rendition, illegal wiretapping, voter suppression, no habeas corpus, the neglect of our great city New Orleans and its people, an attack on the Constitution. And the loss of our young best men and women in a tragic war. This is a song about things that shouldn't happen here - happening here."

Saw Bruce at Wembley Stadium in 1988 (i think).I was not a Springsteen fan but that soon changed.Been to lots of concerts but he was the best by far.

This is why I'm proud to admit "Born In The USA" was the 1st album I ever bought.

Not a genre I particularly like anymore, but Bruce is a true patriot. They had a great interview of him on NPR a while back...
