Received an mp3 of Springsteen performing
"Dream Baby Dream" (Thanks H). At first I wasn't sure what to make of it but the mesmeric, This Mortal Coil-esque rendition has got under my skin. It's a remote, un-nerving reading. Strangely true to the seismic nature of the original
"Keep Your Dreams" but apocalyptically stark and uncompromising. I wonder what conventional Boss fans make of it?
One of the most reassuring things about that recording are the fans who cheered on hearing the 1st line. There are still some Suicide fans in the mainstream
