Born Down in a Deadman Town


Happy Fourth of July! We're taking a one day break from our Top 80 countdown to celebrate our nation's birth... the ironic thing about today's song is that it was regarded by many as a happy, rockin' U.S.A anthem, but instead really finds Bruce talking about the difficulties of Vietnam veterans back in 1984 and as Americans chased the American dream... still, it's an upbeat track and, well, let's all be proud to be "Born in the U.S.A." today!
