Rage Against the Machine Song was Previously Released by Springsteen

To the Editor: In a January 8 review of a holiday package released by hard-rock band Rage Against the Machine ["Rage Against the Machine continues success with video and CD," The Dartmouth] I was surprised to read that arts writer Sebastian Barreveld called the song "The Ghost of Tom Joad" a "fragile composite of several carefully chosen catch phrases." In fact, the song is a Bruce Springsteen cover.
