Though written in the mid-90s, Springsteen’s “Ghost of Tom - TopicsExpress



          

Though written in the mid-90s, Springsteen’s “Ghost of Tom Joad” is suddenly becoming popular as a cover song . . . is it because we have once again forgotten about the forgotten man? In 2005, 24% of American families made under $35,000 (Deer Hunting with Jesus) . . . middle class my ass . . . working class yes but not middle class. Moreover, who would have ever figured that Woody’s Do Re Mi would have ever become so freaking relevant again, people laughed at Dylan for singing these songs in the 1950s. Nevertheless a fitting, compelling, brilliant tribute to the Boss, Woody, and Steinbeck by one of my all-time favorites Elvis Costello, and a group that intrigues me Mumford and Sons. youtube/watch?v=-Idt8wqSSeE
