June 29, 2024
We're wrapping up this month of celebrating, revisiting, and rethinking Bruce Springsteen's all-time best-selling album, Born in the U.S.A., which was released forty years ago this past June 4, with a special roundtable-discussion podcast, debuting on our SoundCloud and YouTube platforms today, June 29, on the fortieth anniversary of the launch of the Born in the U.S.A. Tour (and the completion of filming the music-video for the album's first single: "Dancing In The Dark.")
Participating in this great discussion are: music-business veteran and radio personality Greg Drew, critic/author Steven Hyden (whose newly-published book is There Was Nothing You Could Do: Bruce Springsteen’s “Born in the U.S.A.” and the End of the Heartland,) and critic/author Joyce Millman, with our Editor/Publisher Shawn Poole serving as the discussion's moderating panelist.
We dive deep into the album, the tour, and its enduring impact on Bruce Springsteen's artistry and career, as well as the larger world around it. If you're a fan of Springsteen and Born in the U.S.A., you'll want to hear this.
