I was 15 when "Born to Run" came out, and first fell in love with the sound of E Street. I didn't know Phil Spector from a hole in the wall -- I didn't even know there were two previous . . .

Ben Stiller's "Tropic Thunder" is making its share of noise right now, but for me it's more of a suburban gully washer than a pop culture deluge. This movie is like a mischievous puppy . . .
