Cover art for Jungleland lyrics by Bruce Springsteen

this is kinda like Springsteen's "Desolation Row" -- the place where it all happens for him

This is one of the most insightful comments I have ever heard about this song, and it hadn't occurred to me before. This is definitely Springsteen's Desolation Row. (anyone reading this who doesn't know, it's an incredible Dylan song you should check out.)
