I’m a huge fan of John Steinbeck, Bruce Springsteen, and Tom Morello. This is an amazing thing. First, the closing scene of Grapes of Wrath. If you haven’t seen the film, don’t watch. As a matter of fact, read the book, THEN watch the film, then you can watch.
Now, this is Bruce Springsteen doing his song, “The Ghost of Tom Joad” with Tom Morello of Rage Against the Machine, the band that covered it. Powerful.

I am a voracious reader. I have never been able to shake the ending of Grapes of Wrath. I didn’t like it, but it stayed with me and I’m sure that’s what a good author is looking for.
