Darkness on the Edge of Town: Bruce Springsteen’s Representations of Working-Class Distress
Elsewhere, he accuses the town of harassing anyone who happened to be “different, fl, or brown” and not showing much compassion when one of his sisters “got pregnant” late in her teens.
Darkness does not generalize about the kinds of people Springsteen knew when he lived in Freehold; it insists that their experiences and temperaments are as diverse as those of people in any other community.

 Nude as the News: Bruce Springsteen: Darkness On The Edge Of Town

 SALON: Bruce Springsteen
But on "Darkness," he was as uncompromisingly absorbed with his own pain as a teenager.
"Darkness" is as palpable a throb of adolescent frustration as Elvis Costello's "This Year's Model," which came out the same year.
Springsteen uses "darkness" the way an earlier songwriter used "over the rainbow." The darkness on the edge of town is the thing that lies just out of reach, that pulls you out of bed in the morning, that seems to get further away the faster you drive toward it but, still, you gotta have it.

But ‘Darkness on the Edge of Town’ is a criminally neglected masterpiece: arguably Springsteen’s finest album.
Musically, the Boss was at his peak in the mid 70s to the early 80s, and this is slap bang in the middle of that period.
Although Darkness On The Edge Of Town is a dark album, it is not uniformly gloomy since its despairing moments are often spectacularly swept away by powerful blasts of defiance bursting forth in songs like The Promised Land or Badlands (“We'll keep pushin' till it's understood/and these badlands start treating us good”).

Kurayami's midnight world consists of a town huddled under a great castle, the object of the hero's climb.
So, starting over with a barbed fairytale that explores the darkness inside and outside of the mind: Goichi obviously enjoys flirting with risk.

But despite the rock & roll fervor, Darkness was no easy listen, and it served notice that Springsteen was already willing to risk his popularity for his principles.
Indeed, Darkness was not as big a seller as Born to Run.

Keep in mind, this was written for a specific town as an audience, so we could afford making these kinds of references.
Audience reaction was all bad the first night, mixed the second, all good the third night, and nobody called at all the last two nights, so I guess we bored them into tuning out.
We put together a blooper/leftovers reel called "Lost In The Darkness." It features auditions, outtakes, in-between chatter, my uncut lounge songs (they're supposed to be bad, remember that!), real phone call reactions from the nights the show aired, the radio commercial, and Eric Clapton's full title song.

 Rolling Stone : Darkness On The Edge Of Town : Review   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
(He was so focused on the theme of living with broken dreams, he left off "Fire" and "Because the Night," which became hit singles for the Pointer Sisters and Patti Smith, respectively.) Despite its lyrical weight and dour title, Darkness on the Edge of Town is not a bleak record.
Its characters are groping toward redemption: "I believe in the hope that can save me," Springsteen sings on "Badlands." The narrator of "Racing in the Street" may never find the absolution he seeks by winning small-time drag races, but his vision of a better life is what keeps him driving and what keeps him alive.
But while Bob Dylan had Highway 61 and AC/DC had a highway to hell, Springsteen knew that the highway went everywhere: heaven, hell and the world men make for themselves.
