For some reason, I found myself listening to 'Nebraska' again, the only Bruce Springsteen album that ever resonated with me.  It's probably the low-fi simplicity and the storytelling that drew me to it at some point. (I'm a child of 4-track recording so I appreciate its origins).  Anyway, after listening to 'State Trooper', it seemed obvious (?) that the song was Springsteen's attempt at doing Suicide, albeit with an acoustic guitar in lieu of electronics.  (He's often played 'Dream Baby Dream' live, so I know he's a fan, etc.)  Anyway, down a rabbit-hole I went and reconstructed the song, keeping only the vocals, and adding analogue synths and a Roland drum machine (and a few VSTs to fill out some parts).  So, here's 'State Trooper' (a bit sped up to match its tone) with a nod to the work of Alan Vega/Martin Rev, etc.  Blasphemy?  Perhaps.  Perhaps it's already done better by someone else.   We'll see how long it lasts here before the powers-that-be have it removed.  Give it a listen.  :)
