I hope you truly meant 'Ironic" and not "Iconic", if so, then fuck yea, lots of irony from Springsteen

Those are heartbreaking words to hear. They are the finality of the con that's been played on you. God grant that Trump's fools come to that realization someday.

I, too, was born and raised in Youngstown. It's still a proud city. But it was decimated by the mills closing. It wasn't right. It wasn't fair. In a metro of 450,000 at it's peak, the area lost 77,000 steel jobs in 5 years. Add the supporting community businesses that had to close because of it and that number more than doubles. It's sad. Hard working, family-oriented, ethnically diverse- it was a great place. It's a shame...

Magnifica canzone live; una versione più intimista e oscura è nel disco "The ghost of Tom Joad". Grandissimo Bruce!

Catchy song. Cool combination of all of the instruments together; including the accordion, of course, of which really adds a noted and quite fitting flavor to the whole of the song. Wicked guitar solo, at the end of the song.
