 For this weeks blog post I decided to write about the song “Born in the USA” by Bruce Springsteen. Released on June 4th 1984 this song was very popular and was probably something that our parents are grandparents listened to throughout their younger ages. Although there are a lot of songs from this era that I have heard, this song is one that has stuck out to me. There is something about the patriotism and prideful ness of the singers voice. While listening to this song, the first thing that really stuck out to me is how he is screaming the words to the song.

Like any song, it is always fun to just belt out the lyrics and know it word for word and sing along. This song has such an easy chorus it made it easy for so many unt...
