I wouldn't say I dislike the song. But it's definitely my least favourite song on the album and I rarely listen to it anymore. Having said that, it would have been nice if, to commemorate the occasion, the estate put out an early demo version of the song. Assuming such a thing exists in the vault, it would have been a nice little olive branch to help mend the growing tensions between them and the fans who are frustrated by the lack of any news. | |

It's a genius songcraft. It's "only" 4 chords, BUT, they are rearranged in the chorus. A garage band might think it's easy, but the slight changes will even fuck up the E Street Band! "Whatever skin we're in

The estate would mark its release, not the live debut as thats too obscure for most ppl Plus this live debut version isnt released... yet Theyll prob mark it next year for the inevitable big pr sssssde |

Or maybe that is August’s announcement after all, that the song isn’t called electric intercourse but electronic intercourse! What a fecking shambles! There may or may not be something coming! |

That was fucked up, what you did, man. Morris doesn't like it, and I don't, either. "Whatever skin we're in
