Video Of The Week: Bruce Springsteen

Just in time for Mitt Romney's purchasing of the Republican nomination, Bruce Sprinsgteen has released an official video for what I've already deemed the Song Of The Year...

And should you not be convinced these two events are inter-related, remember Romney's ''joke'' about his father closing a factory in Michigan, and compare it to these lyrics from Death To My Hometown:
They destroyed our families’ factories and they took our homes
They left our bodies on the plains
The vultures picked our bones
So listen up, my Sonny boy
Be ready for when they come
For they’ll be returning sure as the rising sun
And then think about Romney's quote about ''letting Detroit go bankrupt''...

I'm glad folks like Springsteen still have fire in their repertoire. And if he can mix it with a great fucking song, all the better...
