I hadn't been in a "record store" in decades but today, while searching for the perfect birthday gift, Stuart and I ventured into Newbury Comics and in the far back corner I found records. I began thumbing my way through the stacks and nostalgia swept over me - I was suddenly a teenager again, at the Sam Goody store in my hometown of Westport. My dad's employer owned the chain and for years we enjoyed a very nice discount (he failed to convince us that his employee ID was anything more than "the Sam Goody card"). My brother, David turned me onto good music and I have him to thank for Springsteen. Besides the records he played for me, he took me to my first concert - Springsteen at Madison Square Garden, after the release of "Born to Run" in 1975. I was 12. Three years later, this album came out and with it, "Candy's Room", still my very favorite.
