It's actually amazing to think that Born To Run might never have actually been released under the title we have have come to know and love. Back when Bruce was putting together the order for the project Born To Run at one point wasn't even being considered for the album. Read here a piece I did about it three years ago! Would he have had the same success he has today if he had actually taken that step, I guess we will never know.
A few years back I did a piece here on Soundtrack4Life about what Born To Run meant to me. I stick by the words I wrote then.
