Bruce Springsteen gives away free Halloween download

In celebration of Halloween, Bruce Springsteen has posted a new song and video on his site. Stereogum says he "sings the blues of an 18th century boy who grew hooves, a horse head, bat wings, and a forked tail, and won the Stanley Cup now haunts the Pine Barrens of southern Jersey." Spooky. Maybe this is his way of making up the cancellation of his usually decorated home in Rumson, N.J..

The song, entitled "A Night with the Jersey Devil," comes with this note on the site:

Dear Friends and Fans,

If you grew up in central or south Jersey, you grew up with the "Jersey Devil." Here's a little musical Halloween treat. Have fun!
