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".

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.

I bought many great records in Korvette's. Two off the top of my head are The Doors first album and Mountain Climbing. Oh, and the first one i bought was Meet the Beatles. Can't forget that one.

My high school parking lot and I immediately hated it. It sounded like he was singing (shouting?) out of time with the music.
