![]() ![]() The “Born to Run” single came out far in advance of the album. And I said I wouldn’t do it, and they basically said, “Well hey, look, it’s going to go in the trash can.” That’s the record business, you know. At the time, there was a great disagreement over The Wild and the Innocent, and I was asked to record the entire album over again with studio musicians. So the atmosphere was very, very combative. It was at My Father’s Place and Mike Appel was at the door taking down their names, writing down who left. I remember everybody coming down to watch some promising young band who was opening for us -and then leaving when we came on. ![]() I think when The Wild, the Innocent and the E Street Shuffle came out it, wasn’t particularly promoted and I always remember going to radio stations where they didn’t know I had a second record out. Nobody had an investment in me, and we were just slipping through the cracks. I was signed with John Hammond and Clive Davis, and then after my first record, Clive Davis was gone and I fell into disfavor for the second record. ![]() I talked to Steve Van Zandt today, and he said that there was a real sense that Born to Run could have been it for you as a recording artist. ![]()
