"Born in the U.S.A," Bruce Springsteen's seventh album, has a rowdy, indomitable spirit. Though the characters are dying of longing for some sort of payoff from the American dream, Springsteen's exuberant voice and the swell of the music clues you that they haven't given up. He writes a heartbreaking message called "Bobby Jean.
"Maybe you'll be out there on that road somewhere. . .
in some motel room there'll be a radio playing
and you'll hear me sing this son
Well, if you do, you'll know I'm thinking of you
and all the miles in between"
But he gives the song a wall of sound with a soaring saxophone solo. That's classic Springsteen: the lyrics may put a lump in your throat, but the music says, Walk tall or don't walk at all.
