On his new album, "Magic," Springsteen jumps right into the fray again. In a dramatic new REM-ish anthem called "Last to Die," he sings: "Who'll be the last to die for a mistake/The last to die for a mistake/Whose blood will spill, whose heart will break/Who'll be the last to die for a mistake."
The mistake is clearly the Iraq war. "We don't measure the blood we've drawn anymore," he sings. "We just stack the bodies outside the door."

Springsteen is no “boss”
a pathetic dixie chik replacement.
Bruce needs to shut up, period.
Bruce Springsteen: irrelevant since 1987
Actually he’s been irrelevant since 1972.
“he sings: “Who’ll be the last to die for a mistake/The last to die for a mistake/Whose blood will spill, whose heart will break/Who’ll be the last to die for a mistake.”
I don’t know who will be last but my vote is locked in on who should be next.
Someone needs to tell bad-a$$ lite that while he was “Born in the U.S.A.” no one’s looking to him to defend it.
Adam Sandler’s wicked SNL parody ruined him for me. What a loser.
No, it was 87.
Another reason toi restrict my listening to jazz and R & B. Never liked Springsteen anyway.
Hey there’s always country music if you want more respect for the military.
I never got why Springsteen was such a big deal in the first place. He’s an average songwriter at best.

Tommy 'Tutone' Heath's letter to Springsteen's manager When Pop Machine last spoke with Tommy Heath, leader of the 1980s band Tommy Tutone, he hadn’t yet heard Bruce Springsteen’s new single, “Radio Nowhere,” in its entirety, but plenty of folks had been telling him about its similarity to Tommy Tutone’s 1982 hit “867-5309/Jenny.”
What he had heard were the short snippets of both songs on Pop Machine, and based on that, with the caveat that he’d still have to hear all of “Radio Nowhere,” Heath said he’d consider legal options.
You know, I’ve been listening to more and more jazz on the iTunes radio stations lately. It’s enjoyable, non political and surprise - the people involved all have talent.
I watched a Springsteen video on VH-1 Classic (Pop-up Video) the other night (”Glory Days”). A lot of hammy mugging for the camera. I was embarrassed for them.
In the 70s Sprinsteen was one of the few to bring us out of that Disco funk and back toward rock and roll. I think that was the primary reasons for his success...back then.
Like the early songs, for sure. Now it seems he wants to be the new Country Joe McDonald.
I was a monster Springsteen fan in the '70's and his live shows then were still some of the best I've ever seen. Then in the '80's he started getting liberal preachy and stumming woody guthrie while complainting. By the '90's he had turned into holier than thou liberal Saint Bruce (in his mind). I want a rocker not a bore.
Springsteen is still alive?
Huh.
