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

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.

KTAC-850AM [Tacoma WA.], fall of '75 in school bus on the way to school. 

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

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.
