It Was 40 Years Ago Today...


Born To Run, released this day:

August 25, 1975

And the world saw the future of Rock & Roll, and his name was Bruce Springsteen.

Never dug the populist agenda of the Boss. Born to run a was overly dramatic, Born in the USA overproduced. I will concede "Pink Vadillac" which is a great single.
The only bands that ever truly mattered were Ramones, Saints, Pistols. For a moment, they brought back the simplicity of 50s/6Os style music, albeit in a hi-octane form which was very exciting.
"And the world saw the future of Rock & Roll, and his name was Bruce Springsteen."

Its name turned out to be Nickelback actually. :^(
I like what Cyril Jordan (The Flamin' Groovies) said about the Pistols album: Every song is in the same key---now THAT'S simplicity!
Bdp, I have a friend who once announced he was going to release an album entitled "Songs in the Key of E." He did not follow through on the promise, but I thought it was a good title.
