@mattklewis Did he have a son with someone named Kate in '83?
I think Springsteen wrote 'My Hometown' in '83, album debuted in summer of '84, & the single released in late 85. Regardless, he wasn't 35.

@JosephRemiB fair point. Always seemed autobiographical to me. But hell, I was a kid.

@mattklewis Bryan Adams doesn't get off that easy, though. Summer of '69 is sung like it was his band. Fess up, Adams! -
@JosephRemiB I heard somewhere that he wanted to sing it about 1979, but the suits convinced him '69 was better...

@mattklewis Yep, that sounds like a stupid coked up A&R guy. I believe it!
