[edit] Expected to be

Radio Nowhere is expected to be the first single of of his new album "Magic" his first with the E Street Band in five years. [18:07, 17 August 2007 71.233.27.164]

[edit] Alluding to previous lyrics

Students of literature are taught in high school and undergraduate levels that writers often intentionally and importantly allude to other artist's words and their own previous words. From Edgar Allen Poe "Raven" to T.S. Eliot's "Wasteland" to The Police's repeating "It's a big enough umbrella" lyric in both their "Oh My God" and "Every Little Thing She Does is Magic" songs several years apart - good artists are not usually redundant without intention.

Bruce Springsteen is a good and intelligent artist. Bruce is not simply being "trivial" when he repeats his words and themes in subsequent songs. He's not generally wordy or verbose. He carefully chooses his few words. I think he wants his fans to make those connections, not only across time to reminisce, but more importantly to show he has remained consistent in his ideas. He's likely repeating to emphasize that what he said twenty years ago, he is still fighting for today.

I have just uploaded the single cover which has all the information needed so it doesn't get deleted from Wikipedia. --Lakeyboy 02:51, 10 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Iggy pop the passenger?

This song is very similar to the Iggy Pop song The Passenger... Is Bruce ripping him off? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 83.109.68.179 (talk) 12:30, 5 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Metaphor

I think the metaphor, or message that is not included in this article is that of the fact that everyone uses iPod and MP3s now so there is no one "alive" for someone signaling with a radio. That is my interpretation. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 208.168.244.16 (talk) 01:27, 26 December 2007 (UTC)
