This is one of my favorite NY songs. I first ever heard it on the Freedom VHS video. A few comments have said that the Weld version is best but I say that the VHS version is best. It is just Neil, his guitar, and his harmonica. I think you can really hear the anger in his voice with this one. Seems like this song is his scathing review of the modern world. The album version of the song seems almost bubblegum pop compared to the VHS. The Weld version is definitely rocking but it is not as personal and "in your face" as the VHS version. Just my thoughts...
