Coraghessan Boyle referenced this Springsteen song in his short story “Greasy Lake.” Unlike the song which is supposed to be about people having a fun and rebellious night, Boyle turns Springsteen’s lyrics into dark and painful memories.

They lived in a time where it was “good to be bad” and they did not care about anything in the world. These characters did whatever they wanted, and their actions did have consequences.

As a child, he was forced to move from place to place and how he barely had a meal to come home to. “From the city to the burbs we was goin back and forth.

This part ends with Milkman’s attempt to leave his town in search for his concrete inheritance.

John Denver was a big-time folk music singer-songwriter throughout the 1970s. He was born in Roswell, New Mexico on December 31st, 1943. At a young age, he began showing an interest in music and received his first Gibson guitar when he was a teenager. In 1961, he attended the Texas Technical University, but dropped out soon after in 1964 to start his music career. He launched his career in 1965 by performing with the Chad Mitchell Trio and continued to play with them until 1968. But, more importantly the folk-pop group Peter, Paul, and Mary helped him by recording a song he had written, “Leaving on a Jet Plane.” The song was extraordinarily successful and gave Denver “a higher profile in the music industry” (www.biography.com). In 1969, Denver signed and released his first single, “Rhymes and Reasons,” with Mercury RCA Records. During the 1970s, John Denver was thought to be the “golden boy of folk music” (www.biography.com). With his involvement in environmental activism, his good looks, and his down to earth and humble personality, more and more fans came to love and support him as an artist. In 1971, he released “Poems, Prayers, and Promises,” one of the most successful albums of his career. The album featured the hit song; “Take Me Home, Country Roads,” which was released as a single in the spring of 1971. It reached number two on the Billboard Hot 100. The hit was written by John Denver, Taffy Nivert, and Bill Danooff, but was initially recorded by John Denver himself.
