I've loved this album since high school and still rediscover it every few months, less and less lately, but every time I do it reminds me why i bought it on cassette online so I could play it in my shitty bluetooth-less Volkswagen driving around the jersey shore. Such a perfect album. Pink chimneys in Maine Couldn't keep me away.

I'm, very loudly, from New Jersey. So I've always been more than aware of Bruce and what he means to music, America, and NJ. But I can't say I always "got" it. As a kid and teen he was mostly just music my parents listened to while they drank with their friends.
But this (linked) video came out when I was like a freshman in college and I remember coming across it and everything clicked. Maybe it was because it coincided with the first time I was ever really away from home, but it really unlocked the boss for me. Something heartbreaking and honest about him believing so earnestly and helplessly in an America that has never existed but you can only hope one day will happen.
also being 20 and hearing "If I could take this moment into my hands. I ain't a boy, no I'm a man" is too perfect.

whole album is great and i've been feeling kinda nostalgic lately, but this song is perfect for a sunny fall day :)

It started off as a drunken ki, but now it’s been seven days and I can’t stop thinking about cigs and my fashion magazines.
NY will be the site of my ruin.
