Wow I have not given this song a proper listen

You should. It's potent stuff. About how the military-industrial complex chews up young men and then leaves them damaged and destitute.

Bruce originally recorded a demo for the much more somber-sounding Nebraska album, before changing it up and making it the title track of the next album instead.

The Nebraska demo is haunting as fuck.

Man... I say this as someone who loves Bob Dylan, and appreciates Bruce Springsteen's work ethic and contribution to American music... But I just can't with his voice. I've tried, and I just can't.

Huh, haven't heard that complaint before. Each to their own!

I guess I can't really be the judge of anything - I love Dylan's voice, especially in the later albums.
