From one Springsteen fanatic to another, the line you're referring to doesn't refer to the Magic Rat, but the poets who write about the whole affair.

Holy crap, I totally forgot KISS and Bolton cowrote that (at least I think they did). Seems like a missed opportunity for many more KISS connections/jokes. Oh well.

Yeah, that's why it's somewhat of an imperfect parody. Back in the '90s, there was a harmlessness(?) about Trump that was obviously…incorrect. Also, I appreciate your Gravity's Rainbow handle.

I think the typo you mentioned is some sort of weird anomaly that's only appearing on phones or something (it's showing up as a "0" on my phone but not my computer). The "existential tread" was all me though! It's fixed now. This is Dan, by the way.

We covered it a few weeks ago! Planning on doing it again as well. - Dan

And best of all, you can get pretty much everything he's ever recorded (under both names) here!

Spawn, perhaps?

Radar, right?

Same here! In mine, she always wore a sweatband around her forehead for some reason. Probably because it was the '80s.
