Just got an email from my best friend who watched Springsteen on the Today Show this morning. He said Bruce had this little intro before a song:
"Over the past six years, we’ve had to add to the American picture - rendition, illegal wiretapping, voter supression, no habeus corpus, the neglect of our great city New Orleans and her people, an attack on the Constitution and the loss of our best young men and women in a tragic war. This is a song about things that shouldn’t happen here happening here."
I imagine Matt Lauer and Timmeh looked like they had just eaten a shit sandwich.
He had some pretty mind-f***ing lyrics, almost worthy of MJS. The gist of the chorus, according to my friend:
Don’t worry darling
Yeah, baby, don’t you fret
We’re living in the future
And none of this has happened yet.
I think that novel feeling I'm experiencing is hope. Thanks, Bruce.

And thanks to Tinfoil Hat Boy for the Bruce update
Let "them" have Tammy Bruce, we'll take out Springsteen.
Man, I needed that.
Does anybody else think that Bruce's intro to his own song is such an excellent, coherent package of what's gone wrong that we ought to put it in the sidebar as a QOTD, or something. Especially if we could get some video of the song. Let's everyone keep checking out UTube.
Bruce!
Here's the link from NBC:
Springsteen: ‘Living in the Future’
The nice thing is that the audience is cheering
Not dead silence.
We. Are. Going. To. Die. We must restore hope in the world. We must bring forth a new way of living that can sustain the world. Or else it is not just us who will die but everyone. What have we got to lose? Go forth and Fight!—Xan
