I've listened to this album more than any other. Few bands can create a wall of sound as interesting and haunting and powerful as the E Street Band back in the day.
The tracks on here range from the youthfully optimistic to the utterly tragic, but all of them have a romantic, restless quality about them. The message here, if any, is this: life is worth living the s--t out of, even if doesn't go according to plan. (And it won't.)
Hard to argue with that sentiment.
Thank you, Bruce and co. for the endless hours of entertainment.
