THIS DAY IN MUSIC
1984, Bruce Springsteen released the album, Born In The USA, which became the best-selling album of 1985 in the United States (and also Springsteen’s most successful album ever). The album produced a record-tying string of seven Top 10 singles (tied with Michael Jackson’s Thriller and Janet Jackson’s Rhythm Nation:1814).

“Madman drummers, bummers and Indians in the summer with a teenage diplomat.
In the dumps with the mumps as the adolescent pumps his way into his hat.
With a boulder on my shoulder feelin’ kinda older I tripped the merry-go-round.
With this very unpleasing sneezing and wheezing the calliope crashed to the ground.
Some all-hot half-shot was headin’ for the hot spot snappin’ his fingers clappin’ his hands.”
- Bruce Springsteen, ‘Blinded by the Light’
