@bluegsp the movies "balands" and "Natural Born Killers" were heavily inspired by the Starkweather/Fugate killing spree as well

Nebraska has always been my favorite album. I am a fan of stripped back and soul bared music... it's the only Bruce Springsteen album I own.
-
I'm the only one in the family born in Lincoln, Nebraska so this album hit home.

my hero! bruce rules forever! how he sings this song is unique. i never heard a person doing like this. he shows all the feelings a prisoner and his crime can have. he is touching me, he is an outstaning performer and songwriter.

Beautiful song, way better than "Born in the USA".

bruce spingstein has written songs that are the definition of haunting



I believe this song is about Charles Starkweather and Carol Ann Fugate. The two went on a killing spree in Lincoln Nebraska in 1957. Charles used a shotgun most of the time. Starkweather was electrocuted for his crime in 1959, Carol Ann got life but was paroled in 1976

i always thought that when he did this kind of stuff, it was some of his best music. I like the e-street music, it's alright, but i always thought none of it was as good as this and his Tom Joad album.
