Bruce Springsteen’s latest CD was released today. It’s called, “Magic.” Reviews say its his most political cd yet, largely about the Bush administration. His last CD, in response to 9/11, was called “The Rising.” Hmmmmm. First “The Rising,” now “Magic.” Funny how those old Hebrew notions keep coming back to haunt us.

Here are the lyrics for a song called “Long Walk Home”
Notice the father, the law of the father, (Courthouse), and the reference to the Ten Commandments — “Set in Stone”

My father said “Son, we’re
lucky in this town
It’s a beautiful place to be born.
It just wraps its arms around you
Nobody crowds you, nobody goes it alone.
You know that flag
flying over the courthouse
Means certain things are set in stone
Who we are, and what we’ll do
And what we won’t”
It’s gonna be a long walk home.
