Good story, but there are a few factual mistakes; in the song "Born in the USA," he recounts his brother who was killed during the battle of Khe Sahn, not a friend. And, I believe, the narrator didn't spend time in prison, he spent 10 years aimlessly "burning down the road/Nowhere to run/Ain't got nowhere to go." Still, a worthwhile essay. So thanks.

He is a storyteller extraordinaire. He will long be remembered because he touches every man and he’s just that good!
We get “ Born”. For us it was always a wake up song. Born & screwed. And the beat goes on…
