Is that the setlist order as well? I would've thought he'd open with "Born to Run."

And the Reagan administration briefly used "Born in the USA" as a re-election anthem, not to mention "Born to Run" being one of the state songs (roughly speaking) of New Jersey despite not being the most flattering song about Jersey. With that history of missing the point of Springsteen songs, why not "Born in the USA"?

Any music industry neophyte could have told you "Born In The U.S.A." wouldn't have made the setlist. It was meant as a song to protest the treatment of veterans of the Vietnam War… even with his man in the White House, I don't see him using it in such a fashion.
