Born to Run by Bruce Springsteen

2.0

I love Springsteen and was eager to get my hands on this. The first third or so is very well-written with the same sort of wordsmithing that made him famous as a songwriter in the '70s. But right around where he gets to "Born to Run" and on, he discovered the CAPS-LOCK key, and the illusion was shattered for me. The writing gets pretty one-dimensional. 'I wanted to write an album about XXXX. These guys came/went in the band. We played to HUGE HOUSES and ROCKED 'EM OUT!' I'll always be a fan of his music, I think. But now I'm imagining how he probably texts emoji smileyfaces to Patti and the kids, and I may never recover.
