Born In The USA - Bruce Springsteen

Released in 1984, Born In The USA is Bruce Springsteens 7th studio album. And, even though it is the first time he used synthesisers, it ROCKS!
The anthem like title track Born in the USA is often, mistaken as a Pro US track, but a closer look at the lyrics reveals a scathing account of the experience of returning Vietnam Vets.

"Born down in a dead man's town
The first kick I took was when I hit the ground
You end up like a dog that's been beat too much
'Til you spend half your life just covering up"

Dancing In The Dark was one of Springsteens all time biggest hits, only kept of the number one spot by Princes When Doves Cry from previous Critical Junction Purple Rain. The video featured Courtney Cox in her first screen role and was directed by none other than Brian De Palma.

And the hit's just keep on coming, Cover Me (originally intended as a Donna Summer track) Glory Days (a highschool jocks wistful look back at the so called good ole days) My Hometown, I'm On Fire, No Surrender....Heck, let's just play the whole Album.
Altogether now "Wanna Change, My Clothes, My Hair, My Face"
