@dippinkind: I had the same thought. Half expected to hear Rockin' in the Free World too.

@dippinkind: Well it makes a LOT more sense for Obama to play "Born in the USA" - especially now. A man, coming back from the war to find no opportunties are left for him. Looking at our situation, our economy - the lyrics fit the times.

speaking of music, they were playing Born in the USA last night too – did no one there remember the mocking reagan got in ’84 for using that song? ‘nowhere to run aint got nowhere to go’ just doesnt sound that hope-ish.

Re: “campaign song choice that’s the result of only listening to the
title being sung.”

I assume you’re referring to 1984, when Reagan adopted “Born in the USA”
as his theme? That made my jaw drop. Springsteen was pretty pissed, and
he denounced Reagan for it.

That would be “City of Blinding Lights” by U2.

Does anyone know what song was playing before his speech? It was strangely familiar, in that “I think I’ve heard this instrumental track somewhere but it sounds vaguely like 9 other songs” way.

Ronnie Dunn went to seminary to be a preacher before turning to a career in music so it’s not surprising that he’s well-versed in religious studies.
