There are some songs that, even beyond their quality, mean a little more to fans for what they represent in an artist's career arc. "Murder Incorporated" seems to be one of those songs for fans of Bruce Springsteen. Taken on its own, it's an excellent representation of Springsteen and the E Street Band at their most rocking and muscular. But it's also the song that, in its way, brought that band back into the Boss' fold after several years away. The story begins all the way back in the '80s, when Springsteen was putting together the album that would achieve his greatest commercial success.
