User Album Review
The heart of Springsteen on Broadway isn’t politics, however. It’s about family and love, the struggle to escape your roots and own them. Springsteen recites the Lord’s Prayer — seared into his memory through reluctant years in Catholic school — and ends the show with his own prayer: “Born to Run.” He caps it with the sound of a heartbeat, tapping it out with his hand on the body of his acoustic guitar, until it falls silent. It’s a better metaphor for his life’s work than anything I could write here.
