It is difficult to read this review as anything but a nostalgic glance back in time at Bruce Springsteen’s career. Born to Run was his earliest real success though, so maybe it is the review that finally brought him fame; I’m not enough of a fan to know. Ironically, I know a few who do fly 3000 miles or more to catch his shows, but they were also the same teens who bought this LP when it first hit the radio. Greil Marcus’ review is decent. He covers Springsteen’s earlier albums quite a bit, but goes on a while without actually covering all the songs. Hopefully Greil’s hope for Springsteen has been met in the last 30 years, so I might just put on some Bruce later.
