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".
Where were you when you first heard it?
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][ |
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.
