Incredible song. There is a slight flaw in the storytelling, though. In the first line he says the incident occurred "last night," but in the last stanza he says "sometimes I sit up in the darkness...thinking about the wreck on the highway." Even the Boss isn't always perfect! :) |

At some point Waters got permission to use Hal's voice during the intro. I think it was played in reverse on the original album version. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7CoT8RyIwwk |

What a powerful song. Imagine having to tell your child that he must always "keep his hands in sight" if he's stopped by a police officer. So sad, but it's a reality for non-white kids in America. IMO the best version is the live version from Madison Square Garden in 2001 where Springsteen tells the audience, "we need some quiet." |

Why no comments on Fake Nudes? Best BNL album in years!
Love this song. A nostalgic & a heartfelt message to Steven Page with lots of Canadian references. Starts with Ed missing their days of stardom & partying across the US together. Felt like Sid Crosby celebrating winning the Stanley Cup. Juxtaposed in the 2nd part by Ed lounging around his apartment feeling lost & distant & admitting he'd like to start making music with Page again ("My Friend" gets me every time). Listening to Neil Young & Joni Mitchell & Gordie Johnson (all Canadian musicians) & it's making him cry (great lines). "Tommy" Cochrane says "Life is a Highway" - He understands people change & have their own path, but he feels abandoned on Page's highway of life. |
