Bruce Springsteen magnum opus is 40 today. To some a sublime classic. To other's. A great big pile of old cunt.!
Either way. It's an album everybody should listen to once in there life.

The screen door slams
Mary's dress waves
Like a vision she dances across the porch
As the radio plays
Roy Orbison singing for the lonely
Hey that's me and I want you only
Don't turn me home again
I just can't face myself alone again
Pure poetry, the song of my youth.....

"Roy Orbison singing for the lonely"
I could never understand the line he was singing all these years (obviously not bothered me that much that I've ever looked it up)... the things you accidentally learn on WHO

Overblown, overhyped American bullshit.
The bloke has done one, maybe two half decent songs in my opinion.
Fucking lemmings.

He was born in the USA, apparently.
I can't see it needing a song written about it though. A not very good song, at that.

Apparently 'Born in the USA' is a dig at the authorities
Wiki
The song was in part a tribute to Springsteen's friends who had experienced the Vietnam War, some of whom did not come back; it also protests the hardships Vietnam veterans faced upon their return from the war.
The song's narrative traces the protagonist's working-class origins, induction into the armed forces, and disaffected return to the States. An anguished lyrical interlude is even more jolting, describing the fate of the protagonist's (literal or figurative) brother (in some recordings or live shows, the word brother is replaced with buddy):

Born to Run is a fucking great album. Thunder Road stands out, being as it is one of the greatest songs ever written, but the whole album is superb.
