Bruce Springsteen & The E Street Band — Rosalita (1979)

Here’s Bruce and the gang from the Old Grey Whistle Test in 1979.

This has always been one of our favorites, but we just heard it in the car today and were reminded what a great song this is.

Story is that this song is an autobiography of sorts.  Bruce received a $25,000 advance from Columbia Records when he signed his first record deal and wrote this song as a “kiss off”, he said, to everyone who doubted him and told him to get a real job.
