Live from the Main Point in Bryn Mawr, it's the weekend open thread!

You have three tasks this weekend. First, read this moving piece about life, death and Springsteen from my cyberfriend Joan Walsh. Second, listen to this amazing pre-historic version of "Thunder Road," live from Lancaster Ave. Third, discuss the important issues of our time in the space below. As a not-so-great man (either Biden or Romney, take your pick) said recently, I'm tired of being tired.
