Oh yeah and....it's hits were overplayed. Sometimes still are. But for a guy like Springsteen who was built up with enormous expectations when his first album dropped,than had to rebuilt himself on his own terms again this marks where he became at least iconic on his own merrits. Iconic,that is in terms of being one of the most misinterpreted rock stars of the era. His unique sound-a blend of rock and soul that still owed a lot to Phil Spector,Ike Turner and Motown (via the now late Clerence Clemons) was still firing on all thrusters. And even though a lot of his admirerers at the time tended to be working class "Johnnie Jingo" types and even President Reagan...well let's just say it's a testement to his lyrical expressions of irony and his own blue collar backround that it some people didn't get exactly who he was talking to and about with his music.
