Bruce Springsteen ....on Wall Street!
“It’s hard to be a Saint in the City” is the last song on Bruce Springsteen’s first album in 1973 – “Greetings From Asbury Park” - on side B no less (that’s right - he’s been at it over 45 years). The song chronicles the struggle of a young man’s attempt to do what he believes is right and good while growing up on the streets of a city (ostensibly nearby NYC for NJ native “The Boss”). This song recently popped up on the XM Springsteen channel and I drew parallels between the lyrics and Wall Street’s (The City) periodically penal treatment of stock prices of companies that are doing what’s right and good - "the Saints".
