Springsteen captures the pathos and tragedy of 9/11 by focusing on the valiant firefighters who went up to their deaths while trying to save lives. The music of the refrain assumes a defiant pose and suggests to e that the last chapter in this book has yet to be written.
During the 1970s roch and roll was moribund. Springsteen came out of nowhere and revivifed the genre, saving it from the mindlessness of disco. I cannot imagine a disco song that could speak to eloquently to the 9./11 events, or anyhting of important; certainly nothing beyond shaking one's booty all night uh-huh uh-huh.
