I don't know if I'd call eleven albums in 40 years "prolific," particularly: other than that, a solid write-up on an underappreciated artist.

That's true, at an average of maybe 3 songs/year, he's no Robert Pollard. I think I got blinded by the hundreds upon hundreds of covers people have done of his songs - makes it seems like he's written more than he actually has.

Makes it "seem".

Add me to the Natural Born Killer haters - it was perhaps the ultimate example of style over substance, and it came out around the time I decided Oliver Stone was not the greatest director in the history of film, but rather a hack.
Cast my vote for the use of "Street Fighting Man" over the end credits of V for Vendetta. A nice lift for a mostly terrible movie.

This song was my favorite part of the film, too. I liked it so much that when the CD came out, I snapped it up. It also has the song "Democracy" -- which Don Henley covered when Clinton was elected in '92.
A great song from a great album...although, personally, I'm most partial to "Closing Time," which we always played five minutes before pulling down the fence at the record store where I worked. Precious few people ever paid attention, making it feel extra sweet when someone would suddenly twitch, look up at us, and ask with a smirk, "Are you trying to tell me something?"
