I've also got to wonder about people who assume that what was relevant 30 years ago is not relevant now. Sometimes that's true, but when you're talking about things like being in love, marrying too young, trying to escape from poverty, working hard for a very small reward, admiring your home country, facing getting older, etc., the issues remain relevant for an awfully long time - perhaps as long as humans are human!
Springsteen wrote "Glory Days," for instance, in 1985, when he was about 35. It's just as relevant today to him and to his listeners past the age of 21 or so as it was then.
