Summary

On June 4th, 1984, Columbia Records issued what would become one of the best-selling and most impactful rock albums of all time. Bruce Springsteen's Born in the U.S.A. would prove itself to be a landmark not only for the man who made it, but rock music in general and even the larger American culture over the next 40 years. Because this record ended up being much more than just an album - it is a document of what this country was in its moment, a dream of what it might become, and a prescient forecast of what it actually turned into decades later. In 'There Was Nothing You Could Do', veteran rock critic Steven Hyden explores the essential questions that explain this classic album - what it means, why it was made, and how it changed the world.
