Bruce Springsteen on Making ‘Born to Run’: ‘We Went to Extremes’
He had one last chance to make it real. Or at least that’s how the story goes. With 1975’s Born to Run, a 25-year-old Bruce Springsteen felt like his very life was on the line, which is probably why he drove himself — and the E Street Band — to the brink of breakdown over the tortured months of its creation. In November 2005, a couple of hours before going onstage for a show on his solo Devils and Dust tour, Springsteen called Rolling Stone to talk about making Born to Run, which was released August 25th, 1975. Here’s the full transcript of that conversation.
I talked to Steve Van Zandt today, and he said that there was a real sense that Born to Run could have been it for you as a recording artist. How true does that feel to you?

Mike Macaluso
Mike Macaluso became a friend of Bruce In the USA after working with us as our audio engineer on several gigs in Florida. What stuck out about Mike other than him being an amazing engineer is his vast knowledge of the works of Bruce Springsteen. Not only does Mike know technical aspects to the inner workings of a Springsteen concert, Mike is a huge fan! He has the most expansive collection of concert bootleg and rare Springsteen recordings we have ever heard of.
We were so blown away by Mikes extensive Bruce library, his passion for Bruce’s music and Mike’s first hand technical knowledge of bruce’s touring machine, that we asked him to be a regular guest blogger on Bruceintheusa.com. Mike has so much knowledge and love for this great music, we just had to get the word out. Mike’s Radio show is amazing. He picks wonderful gems from Bruce’s first gigs to the present. This is a must for the “Die Hard” Springsteen Fan.

I’m not sure if the name has held up, but back in the 80s when I lived in Texas, Austin’s Guadalupe Street near the University of Texas campus was called “The Drag.” And, just off The Drag on 24th Street, there used to be a great beer and burger joint called Mad Dogs & Beans. […]
Ranking Records—Bruce Springsteen
January 27, 2020 · by mbodayle · in Ranking Records ·
Last week, I made my first attempt at this film exercise with the music of Elvis Costello. From what I’ve heard, most of you liked it. I personally loved the feedback that rearranged rankings and disagreed with some of the records I put near the bottom. All in all, it was too much fun for […]
