• JUNGLELAND (and The Boss) Racist?

    Not sure what you are saying here. I don’t think that the reference to Harlem or the name of an imaginary place called JungleLand are referring to black people in this song. I can understand someone predisposed to being sensitive to such things
    feeling that it is.

    Yeah, the word jungle, when used in conjunction with the songs location ...Harlem. It’s perfectly understandable that someone who is sensitive to issues involving race would make such an association. However in this instance it is simply an
    unfortunate coincidence.
