1001 Albums Summary

I think if I were American I would love this album. Sound like longing for a simpler time. Working class, your gal, time passes, regrets. It's really quite beautiful. It doesn't quite match the typical divorced dad archetype that we have in Australia, but it means the same, if not more. Good.

I mean, it's the best. Rock musical in album form. Theatrical, brave, but still a classic. It must transcend realms for it to feel like a stage show and get regular rotation on Triple M. Wiki says this is heavily Springsteen adjacent - maybe I need to listen to more Boss? 5 stars easy.
