OK, yesterday I said Springsteen’s “Frankie” ran on continuous loop through my head.

I wasn’t completely accurate.  “Frankie” runs until I wonder to myself “what am I really thinking right now?”

And then I switch to this one:

It’s another megararity, written for Born In The USA, but never released until Tracks, and utterly unavailable online.  I’m hoping someone posts an eighties’ E-Street Band version someday.

On rainy spring nights…

Tonight, now I see old friends
Caught in a game they’ve got no chance to win
Gettin’ beat and then playin’ again
‘Til their strength gives out or their heart gives in

Now who’s the man who thinks he can decide
Whose dreams will live and who’s shall be pushed aside
Has he ever walked down these streets at night and looked into the eyes of

None but the brave
No one baby but the brave
Those strong enough to save
Something from the love they gave…

…there really is no substitute.
