Bruce: "In 1981 director Paul Schrader sent me a script called Born in the U.S.A. - a film revolving around the lives of some fictional local musicians in Cleveland. He wanted me to come up with some music for the film. But the script sat on my writing table until one day I was singing a new song I was writing called "Vietnam". I looked over and sang off the top of Paul's cover page, "I was born in the U.S.A." I had cut the song for Nebraska but didn't use it. Six month later I cut it with the band and that version became the title song for my next record. (I later gave Paul a song called "Light of day", and the film was released under that title.)

Many of these sogs found themselves in concert with my audience. My heroes, from Hank Williams to Frank Sinatra to Bob Dylan, were popular musicians. They had hits. There was value in trying to connect with a large audience. It was a direct way you affected culture. It let you know how powerful and durable your music might be. But it was also risky and forced you to confront your music's limitations as well as your own.

Born in the U.S.A. changed my life and gave me my largest audience. It forced me to question the way I presented my music and made me think harder about what I was doing."
