We went to see the screening of Captured. This East Village dude who’s had a video camera as an appendage for the past 30 years put together all his footage, from Oprah to punk riots and made the best documentary ever made (besides Pinky’s Strip Club DJs). A.R.E. Weapons opened and we started to wonder how many people noticed that Bruce Springsteen song on Nebraska sounds like Suicide sounds like A.R.E. Apparently everyone noticed this, including the Boss.

Performing one of his anything-goes solo tours in 2005, Bruce Springsteen frequently surprised sold-out crowds by closing his sets with a cover of Suicide’s “Dream Baby Dream”. An unlikely encore perhaps, but Springsteen frequently cites Suicide as the inspiration for the bad-trip barks and howls punctuating his haunting “State Trooper”.
