This thread is not about Springsteen's song. It's about your song.

Imagine this scenario,
You are a staff writer for a significant label or publisher.
The top guy stops by your desk to see what you have going on.
You start in about Springsteen and Lou Reed.
He interrupts you and says...

"There is a big nut to crack here, every month and every year.
If I don't make rent, payroll and expenses...all of this ends.
Everything needs to work in order to get that nut cracked.
I don't rep Springsteen or McCartney.
I rep you and what you write.

Who would this song appeal to and why would they stream it, download and go to a concert to hear it?
