To wit: Why hasn't Bruce Springsteen ever covered The Easybeats "Friday on My Mind"?
It's obvious now: He was waiting till he toured Australia.

Steve, you can download the show containing this song at:
http://brucespringsteen.fanfire.com/cgi-bin/WebObjects/Store.woa/wa/artist?categoryName=Live+Downloads&artistName=Bruce+Springsteen&sourceCode=BSPWEBWWUSD
He opens with "Friday."
I highly recommend the 2/26 show, where he performs the entire E Street Shuffle album in sequence, complete with a string section playing on "New York City Serenade." As a bonus, you also get "Staying Alive."
Actually, Steve, if you like, I could send you the MP3 of "Friday."
I'd be your best friend....
:-)
Check your email, Steve. Music should be there.
Jeebus, he's a terrible singer.
Lets be kind and say his voice is shot.
