Since the beginning of time, man has yearned to destroy the sun.


 I'm still digesting the album (its vanishing from Spotify at least twice mid-listen doesn't help), but Pete Seeger and Bruce Springsteen did a version of Ghost of Tom Joad a while ago that's also pretty good. I think I like the High Hopes take better, but this version is worth a listen or two.

It's Pete Seeger as hell though, down to a call-and-response chorus.

It's definitely Pete Seeger as hell, which is one of the reasons I like it so much. America could use more Pete Seegers and I'm gonna be SO loving SAD when he dies.

Shut up, 94's not that old. :smith:

 I'd be surprised if he doesn't do a summer leg in Europe and then comes back to the states for the fall, which is what he's done a bunch of times before. A Springsteen tour without Jersey just feels... wrong.

But I've also been thinking that about The Replacements getting back together and not playing Minneapolis, so take that for what it's worth. :shrug:
