It Was 40 Years Ago Today...


Born To Run, released this day:

August 25, 1975

And the world saw the future of Rock & Roll, and his name was Bruce Springsteen.

The River might be the equal of Born To Run? Point Blank is one of his best!
Never dug the populist agenda of the Boss. Born to run a was overly dramatic, Born in the USA overproduced. I will concede "Pink Vadillac" which is a great single.
The only bands that ever truly mattered were Ramones, Saints, Pistols. For a moment, they brought back the simplicity of 50s/6Os style music, albeit in a hi-octane form which was very exciting.
"And the world saw the future of Rock & Roll, and his name was Bruce Springsteen."

Its name turned out to be Nickelback actually. :^(
I like what Cyril Jordan (The Flamin' Groovies) said about the Pistols album: Every song is in the same key---now THAT'S simplicity!
