US election 2016: The 40-year hurt
26 March 2016
©BBC / From the section Magazine
Bruce Springsteen is coming to London with the River tour. At £170 for the cheapest pair, I can't afford to see the Boss any more, even if my body could handle standing on Wembley Stadium's pitch for three-and-a-half-hours in an early June drizzle.
It's interesting that Springsteen is re-exploring The River album again. Whenever the anger that simmers in America erupts and reminds the rest of the world that the country is troubled, he seems to be the cultural figure whose work offers an explanation...
Read on...an engrossing, enlightening article that uses Springsteen's music to illustrate the decay of the American Dream.

"Torn in the USA"...as sadly & beautifully current now as it was 30 odd years ago. Still gives me chills.
