The drums are played by Ernest Carter, not Vini Lopez. [22:49, 23 April 2005 70.144.89.154]
What is this? The author seems to know nothing about the song - it was the definition of a generation, and he plays with it like it was null - Someone, please fix this article. [06:39, 13 January 2006 24.5.130.12]
- There are many authors to this article, not one, and if you think the article is missing something, become an author of it too. That's how Wikipedia works. Wasted Time R 12:00, 13 January 2006 (UTC)
Alan Clarke, the lead singer of The Hollies, actually recorded a nearly identical version of this song and released it before the Bruce version; although whether from spite, greed, or a sense of humour, I have no idea.
[edit] Don't Think Born to Run "Catapulted Springsteen to Stardom"
My understanding is that Springsteen considered "Born to Run" a failure, commercially (at least the song, if not the album). After all, per the article, it peaked at only #23.
I think I may have got this from VH1 Behind the Music. Also, another nice detail (I think from the same program) is that he called Born to Run his "shot at the title". —Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.57.246.225 (talk) 19:20, 14 September 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Borntorunsingle.jpg
Image:Borntorunsingle.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.
Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.
If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.
