And I do wonder what I'd have thought about the earlier albums if I'd bought one of those instead. I love Born to Run, Darkness and The River now. But I might or might not have back then. I wasn't into music at all. It was just something to play in the background now and then. I bought very little and tended to just listen to the radio. And I didn't go to concerts either. I think I went to one during 4 years at the University of Missouri and 1 at the University of Maryland. This music obsession is my mid-life crisis. Some people buy a convertible or trade in the spouse on a younger model. I discovered tunes.
