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

Like drrsutliff, the summer of 1975 in Cleveland listening to WMMS. Saw Springsteen that August in Akron (Cleveland show was sold out!). In the fall, every Friday  pretty much every room in the Murray Hill dorms at  Case Western Reserve University with a stereo would have the windows wide open, blasting WMMS as it announced the official start of the weekend and then played ‘Born to Run.’  Those were the days…

Never understood Springsteen fanatics, as I never listen to his music, but I had a group(let's call them that) of friends from Chicago who loved Bruce and  "Bob Seger and The Silver Bullet Band" and invited me to a B S show at the Uptown Theater in Chicago, in September, 78, a once beautiful movie theater space, converted to see concerts practically next door to the Green Mill jazz lounge, and a stones throw away from both the Riviera Theater and The Aragon Ball room, all live entertainment venues that I now live a couple of miles away from.  Even a High end Audio dealer resides a couple of doors north.  Yeah, I remember Bruce's concert where I thought he would never stop singing/performing; I think it went 4 plus hours, and the fans ate it up.  

   It's a sad state that the Uptown Theater is in today, though, in dire need of repair.  Probably not a good investment today to restore the space without government intervention money. It is on several historic lists, including being a Chicago Landmark and listed on the National Register of Historic Places. It was also named one of Landmark Illinois's ten most endangered Historic places.  Someone with Bill Gates' money in the private sector could donate the money to bring this space back to life without batting an eye.  Guess I got off subject. Bruce Bruce Bruce!
