Hello Everyone 👋
This month we are listening to The Boss.
Born to Run is our album of choice, we hope you're all enjoying it.
Let's start with the music...
You know where to find it but here's the Spotify link - https://open.spotify.com/album/43YIoHKSrEw2GJsWmhZIpu
Here's the video for the title track - https://youtu.be/IxuThNgl3YA?si=RbBUZPitwCP-yIYf
Tom was keen to share this Springsteen track as well (not on the album but we'll allow it as background research) - https://open.spotify.com/track/31UJsGtQSom5H0cNCdPD8u
That means I can share Frankie Goes to Hollywood's cover of Born to Run 😉 - https://open.spotify.com/track/3zGtocYYgadnbiJXLqoOib

The 30th anniversary edition of the album issued in 2005 includes a documentary of the making of the album titled Wings for Wheels. Unfortunately, it doesn't appear to be available on any UK streaming sites. I searched long and hard and the best I can find is a copy with Chinese subtitles on this slightly dodgy site - https://www.dailymotion.com/video/x5o2pi9
