Born To Run turns 40

[Rumblestripe]

I had the great pleasure of seeing His Bruceness perform the whole of BTR at the Ricoh Stadium last year. I've seen him many times but had never seen him perform Jungleland (last track on the album and a personal favourite) so when he announced that they would play the whole album all I could do was wait for that! Sadly it was without "The Big Man" but it was still a very emotional moment for me.

The thing you have to respect with Mr. Springsteen is his creativity, if you don't like the bombast of Born To Run or Born In The USA you have the folky minimalism of Nebraska or The Ghost Of Tom Joad or yet again his flirtation with "Americana" on the Seeger Sessions album and it's live twin.

I would never say that someone is wrong for not liking a particular artist (I have a blind spot where Dylan is concerned, can't listen to him) but for any artist to remain creative for over 40 years is quite an achievement.

Been listening to The Promise this last couple of weeks (outtakes from Darkness on the Edge of Town) quite simply wonderful
