But Springsteen's hard-rockin' reworking of Blind Alfred Reed's "How Can a Poor Man Stand Such Times and Live" continues to be an emotional cornerstone of the set. Springsteen added his own post-Katrina lyrics to the 1929 blues song that reflected on the Great Depression.
Blind Alfred Reed was not a blues singer, the song was not blues, and it's tough to reflect on the "Great Depression" a month after the Wall Street crash.
