Where were you when you first heard ""Born To Run"?


It was 1975. I was on the floor of my childhood home listening to Syracuse University  college radio station, WAER,  on my Pioneer Sx-737 tuner. I was blown away from start to finish. 

Prior to that release, music critic Jon Landau was quoted, "I saw rock and roll future, and its name is Bruce Springsteen".

I should have said in my post above that it gives me no pleasure to badmouth Springsteen's music. He seems like a very cool guy and great person. But have you seen him on stage with Roy Orbison in the Black & White Night movie? Bruce, dude, calm the f down. Remember, the movie is about Roy, not you.

 

 

At home, but not until 1977. My reaction was "This is suppose to be the future of Rock ’n’ Roll?" Not my future, as I had already heard The Dwight Twilley Band’s Sincerely and Dave Edmunds’ Get It albums.

Just to be thorough I then gave Bruce's previous two albums a listen. They were even worse. Much, much worse.
