So Born in the U.S.A. is the No. 3 all-time patriotic song. Damn, has nobody ever listened to the actual lyrics?

In fact, it's the tension between its downer imagery and bouncy, anthemic music that makes Born in the U.S.A. a truly great song.

I'm glad people on the Mall yesterday got to hear The Rising, but I do wish Springsteen had seized the opportunity to lead everyone in singing Kumbaya. Well, I can still hope; there are a couple of inaugural balls to come.

R O C K in the USA!
