From 2005's DEVILS AND DUST album, All I'm Thinkin' About might be the catchiest song on that record. He sings the whole song in a strange dinky falsetto voice. His success with the vocal on the studio version is hit and miss, but the song is very cool. It has always reminded me of I'm Goin' Down from BORN IN THE USA. Both songs are simplistic, catchy, and feature the title phrase sung quite repetitively in the chorus. Have Max give it the classic E Street back beat, have Bruce sing it in full voice, and this song would have fit right in on BitUSA. It's unfortunate that it hasn't been played since the D&D tour. I had the good fortune to see it played live on his stop in Atlanta in July 2005. He said "Sometimes I don't have the voice for this next song. If I don't have it, I'll just stop and do something else." After a quick test (he sang the first line a few feet away from the microphone), he went for it and it was a great performance.

I much prefer the studio version. Never noticed the similarity with I'm Goin' Down (one of my favs), but now I do
