    I'll pretend to have read and liked the article. Just like people pretend to listen to and like Springsteen.

      I simply don't get why Born to Run is a big deal.

      Damn I came up with a good song list a few years ago.
      Part of it is based on academic grounds. Among major conferences, the Pac-10 is the best academically, largely because of Stanford, Cal and UCLA. “Colorado is on a par with Oregon,” he said. “Utah isn’t even in the picture.”

        Don't listen to these weenies, Solon. I am listening to the Boss right now.

          Thanks for posting the article. Born to Run spoke to me as a teenager. I was too young then to really understand the events of the 1970's but I did recognize Springsteen's voice of hope and determination evident in many of the songs as I grew up in a rustbelt town in the Midwest.

          It's eight awesome songs that tell stories and share themes. There are many musicians and albums where I change tracks through creating a playlist of my own. Springsteen's Born to Run is perfect as is - no modification needed.

                And Motley Crüe is the unchallenged master of the form. To disrespect them is to piss on the flag and spit in the face of each and everyone of our service men and women. In short, to dis the Crüe is to dis America. Hater.


                Plus I'm pretty sure the french or the belgians came up with jazz. It stinks of the frank.

                Rare is it to find a single (or set of) post(s) that encapsulate a the whole of a individual's personality. Well done, brethren.

                  I'd add Steve Miller and the Wilson Sisters.
