Let me say this straight out - I am not a Bruce Springsteen fan.  Never have been and never will be.  However, I purchased this album for two songs - Born In The USA and Dancing In The Dark.  There are times that I hear a song that speak to me - an artsy phrase too often thrown around.  However, do not be fooled - this album nothing about being proud of America.  In fact, it is a slam against this great nation.
