Bruce Springsteen

This song relates to the experience of Springsteen born in the hometown of Freehold, New Jersey. Bruce does not have many good words about freehold and will play another sharp song about his hometown's "permanent property" during his 1999 tour.

The first title was "Your hometown". Recorded in February 1983, not released until December 1985

Many small towns fall apart, so the lyrics are a dark portrait of the working class class life in the Reagan era. It helped Springsteen earn the reputation of ordinary people

Springsteen explained the closure of the factory in the song ("They are shutting down the textile factory ..."). In 1985 two years after the song was released, 3M closed their factories in Freehold.

Springsteen often explains the events described in his songs, but when he sings "two cars on Saturday night" in the second quarter, it shows the real events he witnessed in 1965 I will point it. Racial tension at the time was high

This is the last song born in the USA, one of the most successful albums in history, with more than 18 million copies sold. This is the last song of the top ten single songs of the album.

Part of the book is complicated by the performance of Bruce Springsteen and is fascinated by the performance of Bruce Springsteen and the current blues springsteen. Everyone. This is different from Burse Springsteen of Hammersmith Odeon in 1975. Although the audience dreams more, he is obviously cynical, playing towards the dreamer's audience, but I do not know if he thinks as much as before. Ha: The song the most he believes now seems to be a song without a happy ending. For example, "Atlantic City". "Atlantic City" is a painful story, you sit at the edge of your seat, waiting for this terrible life to improve better. This song opened the image that the house was being blown up, and it did not solve it alone. That is why I think "Atlantic City" is wonderful - it opens fighting on the boardwalk not only opening the image of the house being dismantled but also not knowing how to handle your city. A singer's speaker, the central character of the story, can not create a better life for himself. He will never live a better life for himself. The last section of "Atlantic City" is very tragic, the last sentence "I saw a man last night, I do something for him." This is the person at the end of their wisdom. It was accepted in a malicious way. Finally, the character himself says, "Well, I know one of those who do something bad, even if I know the result and whether I will succeed or not."
