Every now and then, Bruce takes another hack at writing his own “This Land is Your Land,” a populist, inclusive, communitarian nationalist anthem. This one is even more blatant than most, and teeters on the edge of unintentional self-parody. Yet it’s somehow sustained by Springsteen’s unflinching sincerity, a more welcome than expected naive exuberance. It also should be considered the first major campaign ad for Obama’s reelection and should end with the title of this diary.
