re: Which Springsteen Song is Better?

You don't know what you are talking about. He was drafted and failed his physical, so they sent him home.

You're right. It was Ted Nugent that pissed his pants to try to avoid the draft. But Springsteen tried to dodge the draft before he knew that he'd be 4F.

"According to Rolling Stone, Springsteen's "efforts to convince a Newark, New Jersey, selective service board of his abject unsuitability for combat in Vietnam apparently extended to claiming he was both gay and tripping on LSD, but none of it was necessary." In the end, Springsteen was dismissed not for any of those made-up reasons, but because a concussion he had suffered in a motorcycle accident resulted in him failing his physical. He was classified 4F, or unfit for service."
