In 1984 I bought this cassette and its all I listened for most of the rest of that year. I think this CD is some of his best work, sure its a kinda of a dance CD but who cares, back in 1984 everybody was dancing. Every song on this CD is hit more or less, thats the only bad thing about it. It was so popular how could Bruce top this gem???? I think has been wanting to forget this album for years just for the fact everybody wants to hear it live. can you blame the guy??? "Dancing in the Dark" is a silly dance song that came out at the right time, during the go go 80s. I was dancing to it for months back then, Born in the USA is my favorite song by Bruce, granted its played out so much that alot of people cant stand it but I think its a great feel good song. Makes me feel good when I hear it. On this last tour Bruce seems to come to grips with this material and plays more of it this time around. He has even said that "Born in the USA" is one of the best songs hes ever written, now that says alot.
