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".

@larsman  Here are the facts about EJ Korvetts.

The "E.J." in E.J. Korvette stands for the first names of the founders, Eugene and Joe. The "Korvette" part of the name is a deliberate misspelling of "corvette," referencing the naval ship, according to the King of Prussia Historical Society. An urban legend falsely claimed the name was an acronym for "Eight Jewish Korean War Veterans". The company was actually founded in 1948, two years before the Korean War.

I was living in Arlington Heights IL and was at Flip Side Records. Could not leave fast enough. 

@larsman My Mother worked at a Korvetts in the Record Department to make ends meet while my Dad was in Vietnam. She heard that story and thought it was true too!
