I honestly don't know how this song ever became the slightest bit popular. It's just the same... three... notes... over... and... over. I find it difficult to listen to because of the endless repetition. My only guess to explain the song's popularity is that some people are melody people, others are lyrics people. I tend to ignore the lyrics until I've listened to a song a few dozen times, so bad melody/harmony/whatever will ruin a song's chances for me.

Remember people, Bruce left this off The River for a reason. You're crucifying him for a B side. :ziplip.gif:
Why Graham covered this I have no idea. There are plenty of others that are much better. Graham and Bruce have their own mutual admiration society. But I would like hear Graham with his own songs from Heat Treatment or Howlin' Wind. What do you say Bill?
Boring. Nothing new is added to the song.

Ugh
Can we just build his fuckin' statue already and get it over with?
This song sucks on so many levels, I can't begin to imagine what sense of 'tribute' it supposedly invokes.
Poor Graham.

Funny I would have said Springsteen is no Graham..
Love Graham, but he's no Springsteen!
I'd rather hear a cut from Bruce off an album honouring Graham...
so Bruce CAN sound cool!
great cover
More likeable than Springsteen to my ears, but there's no feeling in this one.
