Your musical thought of the day, 4/11

Life goes by so fast
You only want to do what you think is right.
Close your eyes and then it's past;
Story of my life

--Social Distortion, "Story of My Life"

Yes, another Springsteen post. But the man keeps pulling out the surprises. Thanks to the magic of YouTube, here's a grainy video of Bruce and Rage Against the Machine's Tom Morello nailing a killer, rocked-out version of The Ghost of Tom Joad. Morello's guitar solo at the end is just fucking mind-blowing. Enjoy.

Your musical thought of the day

Now some people say that you shouldn't tempt fate
And for them I would not disagree
But I never learned nothing from playing it safe
I say fate should not tempt me
--Mary Chapin Carpenter, "I Take My Chances"
