Auszug aus dem Rolling Stone Artikel:
Bruce Springsteen – We Take Care of Our Own
Anguish and challenge run thick and fast, at a martial-rock clip, in the first single from Bruce Springsteen’s forthcoming election-year address, Wrecking Ball (due March 6th). „I’ve been stumblin‘ on good hearts turned to stone/The road of good intentions has turned dry as a bone,“ he laments in the first verse, a precise, devastating assessment of a nation exhausted by economic straits and locked in an uncivil war of values stoked by selfish Washington gridlock.

These records are undeniably rock ’n‘ roll and constructed with the help of his E Street Band.
