The Wild, the Innocent and the E Street Shuffle - Bruce Springsteen
"Someday we'll look back on this/And it will all seem funny," Springsteen sings on "Rosalita (Come Out Tonight)." Reeling from the commercial fizzle of his debut LP, Springsteen threw off the "new Dylan" baggage and applied his Jersey-bar-band skills to working-class stories and boardwalk love songs such as "Rosalita," "4th of July, Asbury Park (Sandy)" and "Kitty's Back," creating the voice and lyric persona that would make him a superstar. His first chart buster, Born to Run, was a couple of years away. But E Street is where Springsteen gets ready for the last laugh.
