    Great performance.. When I listen to someone do a slightly different version or acoustic take on a classic it always makes me appreciate the original more.. sometimes with classic rock songs you don’t get to appreciate the song structure and lyrics until someone slaps you in the face with them again after years of just hearing them... brilliant

      @@50milliondownthedraintonym16 not sure of that's true. Although his mother had an office job, his father was a factory man, bus driver etc. Hardly middle class but anyway.
      Regards the American hero, he never proclaimed himself that stature, think that's just the ignorance of people who've only seen the Born in the USA album cover (which is a great protest song as a matter of fact, and the whole album an electric extension of the previous album Nebraska, folksy Americana). On the other hand, he's done some pretty heroic gestures, off the too of my head the support and donation to the miners families during the British miner strikes of the 1980's. He dodged the draft with some of his friends (got drunk before the physical and failed) as many young men did then. Whatever way you look at that is up to you. I say thank God.
