Worth considering...

This article by Joe Klien is worth taking a look at - very insightful - and honestly clear about both the obvious and subliminal issues taking place in this year's Presidential election in the USA. And Klein knows about American mythology: he wrote THE book on Woody Guthrie, the book that helped Springsteen move from Jersey rock and roll to a deeper Americana back in 1980 (remember that he often played, "This Is Your Land" on that tour along with some of his more stark tunes that led to "Nebraska.") You might say that Klein (and a few others like Flannery O'Connor and Steinbeck and Paul Schrader) help the Boss give birth to "Born in the USA," "The Ghost of Tom Joad" and even parts of "Radio Nowhere."

So check Klein out, it is worth considering:
