I'm also of the opinion that including it was probably ill-advised. Still prefer The Boss' version, though it certainly is far from my favorite song of his otherwise amazing catalogue. And as much as I like RS's take on all these well-written songs, I would much rather have a new album of RS originals. Like many of you here I truly believe that Richard is one of the best songwriters of our time despite working in relative obscurity. No one I can think of is more deserving of a wider audience.

I missed all but the first minute or so. Anyone know if it's archived? I couldn't find it on their website.

If John Platt has the best 3-hours of radio, check out Charlie Backfish on Sunday Street 90.1 FM WUSB for the best 2.5 hours of radio. Sunday mornings 9:00 am - 11:30. Also streaming on the web. No in-studio Shindell, but plenty of varied folk, including RS.
