Those brilliant but pesky writers are at it again. I am not sure where the idea of naming a song with the first letter or your forename or surname originated but my tag definitely came from usual suspect Pierce McIntyre.

A lot of people have contributed to this including myself naming four Springsteen songs using my forename.

Then Paul Combs had to take it further to name Springsteen songs using the first letter of his first name. This was of course to ensure he got his beloved “Born To Run” in his great article below.

Then Alex Markham used Springsteen’s famous nickname to name some of his not-so-well-known songs. He chose some excellent songs, and you can find his article here.
