Who likes "No Surrender"
as Kerry's new theme song?
Now, when I hear it, I think about that massive rally in Madison a few days ago. I hear it and know that America is the best damn country in the world, and that tomorrow we will take it back.

1. I'm constantly humming it...
When it was played with Clinton/Kerry - that was one of the best ones...until Bruce sang it live.

What crap does Bush play...some stupid country - "Only in America"...is that it??

2. Always loved that song.
The highlight of Bruce's big "commercial" album in my opinion.

I'd like to take this opportunity to encourage anyone, young or otherwise, who's never heard his "Nebraska" album to give it a spin. A work of pure genius, and vastly superior to "Born in the U.S.A." which I admittedly also like quite a bit.

4. I found "Nebraska" to be too dark
and depressing.

6. I love it. True story: I bought an original Springstein Born in the USA
tape, 15 months ago from a thrift store for $1. The first song to play was "No Surrender". I had no idea it was omen. I initially backed Gephardt, then I switched to Lieberman, then I switched to Clark, and finally I discovered Kerry. The fact he uses it as his song proves to me that Kerry will be the next president of the United States and I will get out the vote to insure that happens !!!!

8. I have adapted it as my theme song as well
for my continuing struggle with my weight.

I believe that he has been using it for quite some time...

And it fits like a glove...

I will be BLASTING the song when I pull up to vote tomorrow.

Hmmm, which version? Its got to be a rocker...

Vote for Change - Jersey with Eddy Vedder of Pearl Jam?
Vote for Change - DC for the best sound quality?

Hell, I'll burn a CD with the album cut, All Vote for change cuts, and I'll see if it was included on his Live! 75-85 release.

You know that The Boss will have to be playing tomorrow night at the victory party, as well as at an Inuageral Ball.

On Edit: My, that star looks nice...

10. Where did you get the Vote for Change albums?
Any soundboard recordings available. I wanted to get the DMB from Madison.
