"'Born in the U.S.A.' is rife with hard rock irony laid over the baby boom's endless nostalgia for its rock and roll youth. 'Glory Days' and 'My Hometown' are too, and Springsteen has always been happy with how they were received. So, why did the national IQ drop so hard on 'Born in the U.S.A.'? On the song's release, the public almost immediately took what they wanted from it and never looked back. Its 'misinterpretation' is now its history."
