In which the prodigal son finally stops running and comes home to stay.  At 35 he is comfortable in his skin, reassured in his vision of America and not afraid to tell the world about it.  Compare this to "Born To Run" and you can see the evolution.  He's tackled every conceivable issue here: friendships - "No Surrender"; realtionships - "Bobby Jean"; aging - "Glory Days"; and family - "My Hometown."  Even the misunderstood title cut (you should really listen to it, Ronnie) cries out to be taken seriously.  He is a popster in the mold of Michael Jackson, but with the spirit of every poet from Dylan on out who came before him.  Easily his best effort and among the best of all time!  A+
