JR, What about the song Bruce wrote, when the 3M plant in Freehold
closed? What about the song from the movie, Philadelphia Story, about
a gay man who contracts aids and fights to keep his job. Brings tears
to my eyes, just thinking about the cruelty of the heart this film
evokes. Bruce sings of all that is wrong and then sings of being
"Born In The USA", which evokes all the positive attributes of being
born here! Guess that's okay huh, JR?
So, he shouldn't care about what is happening, not only in NJ but the
rest of the country? I prefer Bruce's "happy" songs! Everybody loves
happy! He can also evoke emotions that ponder an answer. An answer
that sometimes never comes!
