I wanna know what sounds like "leftover springsteen" by the way.

my bad, but there ARE others on Rain Dogs that give me that eerie 'this sounds a bit too much like Springsteen' for my taste. towards the end of the album it sort of devolves into this massive pit that it really doesn't climb out of until the very end. to me, there's just too huge a gap between the great material on that album (Anywhere I Lay My Head is perfect) and the bad (Hang Down Your Head, Blind Love, Downtown Train).
if you don't get that impression i don't know what to tell you but i can certainly echo boobs' sentiment -- there's stuff that Waits has written that sounds like it's been regurgitated by the Boss. and not in a good way.
