They played "Living in America" earlier.
I suspect its a case of play songs with USA in the title. I await the arrival of the Clash with interest. | |

Born in the USA is one of the most popular songs in the US.
Bruce Springsteen, by all accounts, finds it utterly perplexing and hysterical that most people in his country don't have a clue what it's about or what it means. | |

hang on, didn't Reagan make a similar fuck up years ago?
i'd love it if this was a subtle dig after the shitstorm that followed michelle obama's supposedly 'unpatriotic' comment.

21.09.84 Pittsburg, PA, intro to ´Johnny 99´
´´Well, the President was, uh, mentioning my name in his speech the other day....and, uh....I kind of got to wondering what, you know, what his favorite album of mine must´ve been, you know...I don´t think it was the Nebraska-album, I don´t think he´s been listening to this one....”

I hope for her sake she was making a subtle point by playing it after 'The Times They Are A-Changin' and 'Give Peace a Chance'... Ahem.

Man, I'm knackered and up early tomorrow to travel down to London.
But I've decided to stay up to watch Obama's speech. Fairly historical.

It's always baffled me how anyone could misunderstand it, it's the most PURE RAGING vocal ever committed to tape.
