I seem to recall that Reagan wanted to use
*Born In The USA* as a Campaign theme in 1984, and Bruce
refused to Permit it.
So was Bruce Speaking for Landau? Or against
Landau's Wishes?
I Believe in Bruce. I Do Not Believe in "Goodman".
Disclaimer: I never even *Heard* of "Goodman", much
less read his Book; Won't read it now either - Life's too
Short.
