>>I hear Bruce is going to be the featured singer. I can't quite work out the song set. His best ones are pretty dark. He is the best rocker of my generation, I know that.

>An event like that. Seen in the world. I guess "Born in the USA" will be in there.
Actually I bet it isn't. It's a pretty corrosive song if you listen to the lyrics, and the NFL is a near-fascist organization.
My guesses (and they are total guesses) --
Badlands
The Rising (a near lock)
Racing in the Street
Hungry Heart
Night
The lyrics, to save you the trouble of looking them up --
Born down in a dead man's town
The first kick I took was when I hit the ground
You end up like a dog that's been beat too much
'Til you spend half your life just covering up
[chorus:]
Born in the U.S.A.
Born in the U.S.A.
Born in the U.S.A.
Born in the U.S.A.
I got in a little hometown jam
And so they put a rifle in my hands
Sent me off to Vietnam
To go and kill the yellow man
[chorus]
Come back home to the refinery
Hiring man says "Son if it was up to me"
I go down to see the V.A. man
He said "Son don't you understand"
[chorus]
I had a buddy at Khe Sahn
Fighting off the Viet Cong
They're still there, he's all gone
He had a little girl in Saigon
I got a picture of him in her arms
Down in the shadow of the penitentiary
Out by the gas fires of the refinery
I'm ten years down the road
Nowhere to run, ain't got nowhere to go
I'm a long gone Daddy in the U.S.A.
Born in the U.S.A.
I'm a cool rocking Daddy in the U.S.A.
Born in the U.S.A.
