45 REVELATIONS

No contest, no surrender. “War” by Bruce Springsteen is Single of the Month by acclamation. In the volatile cultural context of an empire in decline, when a disastrous past war is undergoing an Orwellian overhaul to turn it into a heroic prelude to a potentially disastrous new war, Bruce Springsteen’s insuring that hundreds of radio stations will be trumpeting “War/What is it good for?/Absolutely nothing” all winter deserves a curtain call.
