But it would be right before “Badlands” that Springsteen got to the
heart of the matter: “I don’t know what you guys think about what
happened last night, but I think it’s pretty frightening….you guys are
young, there’s gonna be a lot of people depending on you coming up, so
this is for you….” There’s an audible gasp, and loud applause, as well
as murmurs that sound disapproving, or maybe just surprised that Bruce
would be so publicly outspoken–this is the same man that headlined two
shows against nuclear energy without making a public statement. With
that, the band marches into “Badlands.”
