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".

... did you know that 'EJ Korvettes' stood for the 'Eight Jewish Korea Veterans' who created it? ...

That is a common misnomer.

...  "E. J. Korvette" was coined as a combination of the initials of its founders (Eugene and Joe) and a re-spelling of the naval term corvette, a nimble sailing warship and later World War II sub-destroyer. The company's founding in 1948 (two years before the Korean War) disproves the urban legend that the name was an acronym for "Eight (or Eleven) Jewish Korean War Veterans".
