The weirdest thing Bruce Springsteen's ever done

And it's awesome. We knew Bruce loved Halloween, with the opener coffins and one-offs of Haunted House, but he's topped himself this year. A new song and a video for the holiday? With the bullet mic on full distort and the weirdest production he's done on anything taped or live in decades? (We have to stop counting back at the two known performances of Dr. Zoom and the Sonic Boom, featuring on-stage Monopoly.) So, what the hell? Is this an album preview or the creative desperation of a man who can't put out his holiday decorations? Or maybe he's trying to get his mind off the elections. "That damn crazy Internet, I love it. Patti, get the camera, I'm gonna spookify the barn."

Watch or download A Night with the Jersey Devil.
