Bruce Springsteen's landmark 1975 masterpiece "Born To Run" is receiving the re-mastered, re-packaged treatment this holiday season as a 2-CD, one DVD boxed set. This marks the album's thirtieth anniversary, and more proof to offer today's young music consumers who never knew the thrill of hearing this for the first time. It wasn't just that Springsteen gave us a perfect vision of yearning and longing in "Thunder Road," the opening song. The cinematic preciseness of those first lines ["The screen door slams/Mary's dress waves"] told us there was more at risk than the escapism of a five minute pop song.
Of course, the Repugs killed a Senate bill that would honor the Boss.

Bruce is probably amused. His solo tour dates sell out anyway, the Born to Run box will sell like crazy, & he's smarter & more popular than the president of the united states. Meanwhile, Bush is in Mongolia having his photo taken in front of a statue of Genghis Khan.
