Bit early, but I'm about to get something to eat, so I'm just going to get this update out of the way while I'm still at the computer:

I've heard this a few times, but not as often as you would expect. While the radio plays quite a few Spingsteen songs on a regular basis--Dancing in the Dark being the most common, followed by Glory Days, with a scattershot of Pink Cadillac, Born in the USA, Hungry Heart, and Born to Run playing at random times--I'm not sure I've ever heard this one play on any station.

Rather, this is a song I actively sought out on my own, briefly. I had a short-lived obsession with Streets of Philadelphia, a song so great that it proved to be an exception to my general reluctance to listen to songs with exceptionally heavy subject matter, and tried listening to some of his other hits. I quickly decided I just wasn't ever going to be a Springsteen fan outside of that one specific song and moved on.

Listening to it again now, I've apparently developed a greater appreciation for the song than I had years ago. I'm unsure what changed, but now I kinda get it. I like how the song ditches the traditional verse-chorus-verse-chorus structure, which helps it stand out. Also enjoy the way the song gradually builds, very nice.

[FINAL-ER NOTES: I think this is a bit too low, would probably move it up...three spaces, I think?]
