Yanni can do that circular breathing thing, allowing him to play one note for several minutes. Can Springsteen do that? And he calls himself The Boss!

Anyway, it was great when the Reagan campaign used Bruce's Born in the USA at rallies. I guess they never listened to the lyrics, just the chorus. I thought they should have used Ian Drury's Sex and Drugs and Rock and Roll.
