Bruce Springsteen's 'Born to Run' manuscript at NY auction

AP
NEW YORK -- Tramps like us, baby we were born to bid.

A handwritten, working lyric sheet for Bruce Springsteen's 1975 hit "Born to Run" could sell for as much as $100,000 on Thursday, Sotheby's has predicted.

The document used to be in the collection of Springsteen's former manager, Mike Appel, said Sotheby's, which did not reveal the identity of the seller.

Most of the lines in this rough 1974 version, written in Long Branch, N.J., are apparently unpublished and unrecorded, but the manuscript does include "a nearly perfected chorus," the auction house said.

thunder road, jungleland, backstreets, she's the one, and meeting across the river are all far better songs.
i'd place born to run above 10th avenue freeze-out and night, but that's it.
