I'll post another video version of the classic rendition of "Born To Run", but I can't help wondering---does this video mark the beginning of the transformation of Bruce Springsteen into Bob Dylan?

For me it's "In the car on the Turnpike at least you can belt out Thunder Road at the top of your lungs."

For those of you who had to work today, I salute you. I'm on my way home. Have a good one.

In the day we sweat it out in the streets of a runaway American dream
At night we ride through mansions of glory in suicide machines
Sprung from cages out on highway 9,
Chrome wheeled, fuel injected
and steppin' out over the line
Baby this town rips the bones from your back
It's a death trap, it's a suicide rap
We gotta get out while we're young
'Cause tramps like us, baby we were born to run

Wendy let me in I wanna be your friend
I want to guard your dreams and visions
Just wrap your legs 'round these velvet rims
and strap your hands across my engines
Together we could break this trap
We'll run till we drop, baby we'll never go back
Will you walk with me out on the wire
'Cause baby I'm just a scared and lonely rider
But I gotta find out how it feels
I want to know if love is wild
girl I want to know if love is real

Beyond the Palace hemi-powered drones scream down the boulevard
The girls comb their hair in rearview mirrors
And the boys try to look so hard
The amusement park rises bold and stark
Kids are huddled on the beach in a mist
I wanna die with you Wendy on the streets tonight
In an everlasting kiss

The highway's jammed with broken heroes on a last chance power drive
Everybody's out on the run tonight
but there's no place left to hide
Together Wendy we'll live with the sadness
I'll love you with all the madness in my soul
Someday girl I don't know when
we're gonna get to that place
Where we really want to go
and we'll walk in the sun
But till then tramps like us
baby we were born to run

It used to drive my friend nuts that Bruce was "The Boss."

Cause he hated Springsteen.

Me, I like "Born in the USA" especially this line, which to me is kind of sad:

Come back home to the refinery
Hiring man says "Son if it was up to me"


You know, that song leads right into the plot of "First Blood." It's like a Rambo prequel!

Oh, ok. Actually "Born in the USA" is a rather sad, angry song. "First Blood" is a good analogy.

That's a euphemism, right?

I don't think that other people present should stop you.

Maybe not, but they often will stop you, sometimes by force.
