Nov 2, 2008 - pure simplicity. Bruce and a piano. This is how this song is supposed to be sung... no guitars, no drums, just a voice and 88 keys.

Nov 20, 2008 - It is strange to feel a mourning for the car, in an American way, when listening to this song; in the wake of what soon will be it's timely death. It has been a poetic force in American art; something Europeans cannot understand having a comprehensive and welcoming train system. Like Kerouac's "On the Road", a young man could feel as though some overwhelming freedom was possible for littles: pointing the machine away from New Jersey's depression towards the Great West and finding no wall.
