Just like I was told that Bobby Mercer would be the next Mickey Mantle, I was also told that Bruce Springsteen would be the next Bob Dylan. Neither one proved to be true.

Heard several versions, this one a bit more poignant, others rock a bit more. As for AA and Bruce, I think playing this song in Berlin in 1988 he understood its power and relevance. Springsteen’s vision and that of the democratic left celebrates and incorporates Eastern Europe.
