Born to Run had hit big but I ignored it because I was not in my right mind. Then I fell in my first big time high school love with a girl named Terri. Then Born to Run came to me. She loved Springsteen. One soft infested summer

Enjoyed this quite a bit. Your immersion into Springsteen mostly tracks with mine. I completely agree with you on Tom Joan, and find myself returning to Devils quite frequently.

Ironically, my favorite album of his is Tunnel of Love, in part because that was the first show of his I saw. I also found a deeper sense of soul searching in that one that resonated with me greatly at that point in my life, much the same as Devils did almost two decades later.

I still find new things to mine from Tracks, and the live box was revelatory for its time. Need to go back and dig those out again. Thanks!
