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

@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!

Grand Rapids, MI.  A good friend who was a year ahead and in college pulled up in his car, held up the album, and said, “you gotta hear these guys!”

I was attracted to the hard hitting, no BS, upbeat sound of the band, The Big Man’s” horn, and the working man’s lyrics.  They sounded exactly like what they intended to be, everybody’s favorite hard working bar band from Jersey, and a guaranteed good time if you rolled up on their show with a hot date in your hot rod.

Unfortunately, at least for me, the stuff that came after just didn’t have the same appeal. 

Driving in my car where all Bruce should be played.  Reminds me of the Ray Davies joke.  He asked an interviewer to ask him what he thought about Bruce Springsteen.  His response was, I don’t drive.  Great joke.  I love Bruce especially his early stuff.
