Songs about cars as a means of escaping everyday life

And I know it's cool to hate on Springsteen (trust me, I hated on him, too) but seriously folks, listen to the album Born to Run in it's entirety and think back to being in your early 20's and that bone-deep need to get away from everything you grew up around. If you can't relate on some level, then i think you need to do some serious self-reflection on your relationship with your hometown/family

Why is it cool to hate on Springsteen?

[–] Pronell@lemmy.world 2 points 4 months ago (1 children)

No damn clue. Never really loved him but he's committed to being a good musician, showman, band leader, etc.

In my case, it was because he was my parents' music and all I really knew was "Born in the USA" (and I was too young/naive to recognize the satire, especially since my parents were conservative and always approached lyrics by ignoring all subtext)

Plus, I grew up in a conservative town and moved to a hipster mecca where nothing was cool if had ever been played on a mainstream radio station.
