Wow I have not given this song a proper listen
You should. It's potent stuff. About how the military-industrial complex chews up young men and then leaves them damaged and destitute.
Bruce originally recorded a demo for the much more somber-sounding Nebraska album, before changing it up and making it the title track of the next album instead.
The Nebraska demo is haunting as fuck.
Man... I say this as someone who loves Bob Dylan, and appreciates Bruce Springsteen's work ethic and contribution to American music... But I just can't with his voice. I've tried, and I just can't.
Huh, haven't heard that complaint before. Each to their own!
I guess I can't really be the judge of anything - I love Dylan's voice, especially in the later albums.
that is apparently a common theme.
