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".

@zx10  I have to be honest, I don't really like most of "stinkstien" either. Probably about 6 songs all told.

But, seems as if free speech only works, unless it doesn't fit your narrative. 

 

Go to Truth Social or X, but get off of Audiogon and come back when you want to talk about music and gear, etc. 

I first knew the title track as one of the many covers on Welcome to the Pleasuredome. I don’t recall when I first heard the original.

 

Best place to buy records in my neck of the woods!

The record and audio division became an important part of the profits of Korvette’s. In 1964, record sales reached $20,000,000 with David Rothfeld, merchandise manager for records, books and audio equipment described "as hard-hitting as the rest of the young driving force behind Korvette, right up to the company’s 37-year-old President, Jack Schwadron".[4][
