Someone said ('jes kiddingly) that it "sounds like the Hold Steady", but I think it definitely brings the rock more than anything he's done since, I don't know, that "57 channels and nothing on" song from the early 90s. The intro sounds like the Hollies' "Long Cool Woman In a Black Dress" or "Jenny/867-5309" by Tommy Onetune. Just download it.. it's free!
And while you're in a Springsteeny mood, you can download Bruce's legendary 1978 show at the Roxy in Hollywood here. Or listen to his 1978 S.F. Winterland show here.

Actually, I heard one or two other songs by Tommy Tutone - there was one called, I think, "Don't Say Goodbye" that was as good as "867-5309."
I actually own the first Tommy Tutone LP (the one with "Don't Say Goodbye"). The "Tommy Onetune" thing was just an in-joke for a couple of my dozen readers (who probably don't read comments).
I first heard "Radio Nowhere" via Paula's blog too, and despite my curt comment it had me crying with joy. And I like it more each time I hear it. Furthermore: tour dates have been announced!
