Music Video of the Day: Born In The USA by Bruce Springsteen (1984, dir by John Sayles)


I have to admit that I’m not really a huge fan of Bruce Springsteen or his working class posturing.  (At this point, the majority of the people who he sings about will never be able to actually afford to see him in concert.)  But I will acknowledge that the people who like Bruce Springsteen tend to really, really, really like him.  And there’s something to be said for that.

Anyway, I picked today’s music video of the day because I watched Air last night and I was really impressed by Jason Bateman’s monologue about how few people actually listen to Born in the USA‘s rather dark lyrics.  This video was directed by John Sayles, another person who has made a career out of claiming to be the voice of the working class.

Enjoy!
