Re: Thoughts about Springsteen\'s Born in the USA album
It also contained one of the most misunderstood songs in mainstream rock history - Born in the USA.
The fact that REAGAN used this song as a backdrop is one of the most absurd things in history....and was utterly comical to anyone who understood the true intention of the song.
Apparently - no one who worked for Reagan bothered to listen to any of the lyrics other than the chorus.

It is obviously a very solid and radio-friendly album. I don't think any serious Springsteen fan would consider it his seminal album, though.
It served its purpose. "Dancing in the Dark" is an excellent pop song, and allowed him to cross over into the MTV thing that was happening at the time.
