Bruce Springsteen sat down in 1982 and wrote the haunting “Nebraska” album. The album’s title track, “Nebraska”, was written about Charlie Starkweather, a man who, after meeting a young girl in Lincoln, Nebraska, went on a killing spree across the plains states. Years later, a song called “Some Girls Do” would be released that bears similar themes and scenery, only exchanging the barren and haunting guitar and harmonica for a chuckle, aw-shucks, and pop-country hooks. Allow me to elaborate.
