Happy 4th Of July! We're celebrating ironically with Born In The U.S.A., the legendary seventh studio album by the pride of New Jersey, the Boss himself! Bruce Springsteen's iconic title track is one of the most misconstrued songs in popular music.. We'll get to the bottom of why it's so misunderstood and relive our Glory Days as we talk about the record's unique cassette demo origins! The Mixtaper is bringing No Surrender with REALLY old songs, a smelly duplex, and offspring-steen equestrians. It's an album full of compelling characters facing everyday life, told through powerful vocals and in memorable melodies. From the outskirts of Darlington County to a chain gang Working On The Highway, Born In The U.S.A. is sure to keep you Dancing In The Dark. (And if you're out there, Bobby Jean... The Boss has you on his mind!)
