Thread Name: Review: American Skin (Bruce Springsteen)
Subject: RE: American Skin
My point was that Julie Gold's piece talked to an even larger issue. I am sure all the songs are good, sincere, and make their point.

It is a fine line---we don't want the police to act in an unrestrained manner; yet, we want them to take action (I refer here to the events in NYC this past weekend---when, allegedly, the police did nothing to prevent the violence by a mob in Central Park against many women).

My point was that Julie Gold's song spoke of the issue of man's inhumanity to man (people-if you will to be politically correct). That is where the Tiger comes in.
