Bruce Springsteen released the album “Born to Run” in 1975, making him twenty-six years old at the time. I can’t help but wonder if the title track was about a quarter life crisis-induced contemplation of grad school.

So the music video is no longer in the mainstream, but does that mean it’s dead? Or can we find it, un-gag it and prevent it from going the way of Billy Batts in Goodfellas?
