Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band - Roulette

The Three Mile Island incident happened about a week after I was born, and this was the Boss's response. The song is incredibly prescient given the subsequent events that would happen in Pripyat 7 years later, even being written from the point of view of a fireman (firemen bore the brunt of the direct impact from Chernobyl, and no one told them a fucking thing about what they were facing as they climbed among the ruined structure, while bits of the naked reactor poured thousands of röntgen per hour into their unprotected bodies.)
