And it turns out the lyrics of “Shuttin’ Detroit Down” are surprisingly, well, progressive, and are pretty much the exact opposite of what the teabaggers are about.

    A much “truer” song about the automotive industry is Prefab Sprout’s anti-Springsteen screed “Cars & Girls.” It’s pretty terrific.
