Der aus Whitestone im New Yorker Stadtteil Queens stammende Musiker Jesse Malin, hat am 30. April sein fünftes Studioalbum “Love it To Life” veröffentlicht. 2007 wurde er mit dem Longplayer “Glitter in the Gutter” und dem Bruce Springsteen Duett “Broken Radio” weltbekannt.
“Read the lyrics to ‘Born in the USA’: It’s not patriotic,” Malin says. “It’s not ‘get a pickup truck and a rifle.’ That whole record — it’s this huge platinum record, and at least four or five of the songs, the characters, at the end of the song, they go to jail or they’re dead.”
“The ‘Nebraska’ lyrics are still there,” Malin adds, referring to the dark, somber acoustic album Springsteen released in 1982, two years before the slick, mega-selling ‘Born in the USA.’ “I always saw that connection before it was fashionable. Now it’s fashionable to like Bruce, which is great. All these young bands are into it, and that’s cool, because he deserves it.”
