This is the eighth in a series of blogs in which I go through and “musically annotate” Bruce Springsteen’s autobiography, “Born to Run”. This involves going through the book page by page and listing the artists, and when possible, providing a YouTube video of the artists and songs that Bruce mentions as among his favorites.
Here are the previous posts:
- Chapters 1-8
- Chapters 9-16
- Chapters 17-24
- Chapters 25-32
- Chapters 33-40
- Chapters 41-48
- Chapters 49-56
Here is the YouTube playlist of all songs/artists mentioned in Chapters 57-64; you can access any particular song by clicking in the top left corner of the screen and choosing the desired video. I also have a listing of the songs, which can be found after the video. In those cases where Bruce just mentions a musical group, I randomly chose one of that group’s songs to include in the playlist.
