Born In The USA (Bruce Springsteen)

Episode 6: Born In The USA. McCartney In Goal is the podcast that debates and dissects the great albums of pop music, using a competitive knock-out format.

Born In The USA is the 7th studio album by Bruce Springsteen and his most successful. It produced 7 singles and includes some of The Boss's most well loved songs, including the title track, Born In The USA, Dancing In The Dark, No Surrender, I'm On Fire, Glory Days - in fact most of the songs are Springsteen classics.

We discuss: What is heartland rock? Why did Springsteen's guitarist and right-hand man, Steve Van Zandt hate the album? Is the album a patriotic banner or the depiction of the marginalisation of working-class America? Does it matter?
