Bruce Springsteen, ‘We Take Care Of Our Own’

In case there was ever a) confusion about what Bruce is singing or singing about; or b) a desire to see him jam out on rooftops and in what looks to be an abandoned industrial meat freezer, Bruce Springsteen has released a video (annotated with lyrics) for his single “We Take Care Of Our Own.” As a call to arms for the United States to band together and help out the unemployed and the homeless, it was easy to envision this song becoming a big time campaign song for Obama’s re-election efforts — it’s this year’s “The Rising.” Sure enough, this anthem is part of the just-released Obama 2012 playlist. The song will be on Springsteen’s upcoming record Wrecking Ball. It will predictably have some rockers and some wistful ballads about forgotten towns in the Rust Belt.

This is really good.

Great social comment/ rally call to get back to what the US has been about in the past, should be about now and needs to be about as soon as possible.

‘Props’ to Bruce; rich old guy who’s not afraid or too lazy to rock (the boat). He looks pissed- off and bit like Joe Strummer.
