Springsteen's Radio Nowhere is in the house

So I've heard it, more than once (maybe a dozen times now), and I like it. It certainly didn't have the impact that my first listen of "The Rising" did -- that song blew me away, the way the pressure builds, the way his vocals seemed restrained and then, bam, it turns into a rock song. "Radio Nowhere" is not like that. It's more like a tune that would have fit in nicely on Human Touch or Lucky Town. Good, but not quite as good as the E Street Band could be. I was hoping for a little more Clarence maybe?

Also, I tend to agree that the riff throughout the song sounds like "Don't Fear the Reaper"
