Every time someone like this shows up in the news, I write a reminder for myself to alert me a month and a half before that state normally holds their Democratic primaries to look up who’s primarying them and donate to the best one (if there are multiple running against them) until the primary happens.


































It’s funny: I agree with you but for inverse (sort of) reasons.
The music, for me, is fine; maybe not what I would’ve gone for in the current climate but fairly distinctly Bruce Springsteen and he’s done a lot with simple melodies a good amount of times. Sort of reminds me of “The Line”, off of The Ghost of Tom Joad, or some other stuff he’s done before that I can’t quite place my finger on.
It’s those lyrics; when I heard he wrote it so quickly, I was kinda like, “Yeah; this certainly feels rushed…” Especially from the artist where the writing is, generally, the most outstanding part of any song he does. I could be wrong as I’m mostly going off of my first impression but it just feels massively less inpactful than his past work. Like he slapped lyrics together so quickly that they don’t even properly fit the tune of the song (that moment in the first verse where he stretches “story” out into three syllables kills me).
