quiet kid from jersey. just trying to make sense of the temples of dreams and the mystery that dotted his hometown, pool halls, bars, girls and cars, altars and assembly lines. for decades bruce springsteen has brought us all along on a journey consumed with the bargains between ambition and pleasure and justice and pain. the simple glories and scattered heartbreak of everyday life in america. to create one of his biggest hits, he once said, i wanted to craft a record that sounded like the last record on earth. the last one you d ever need to hear. one glorious noise. then the apocalypse. every restless kid in america was given a story, born to run. he didn t stop there. once he told us about himself, he told us about everybody else. steel worker in youngstown, the vietnam vet in born to run born in the usa, the sick and

you are the queen of cleveland. there you are at a ballot place. tell us about the early voting which started today. reporter: it s been surprisingly busy. i can tell you i just talked to the director. he s been surprised at the number of people who turned out. a big part of this is clearly the ground game of the clinton campaign. they have been in 53 counties. none with a harder push than cuyahoga county. it s cleveland, critical for them to run up the black vote. the more things change, the things that stay the same is the demographic of the cities where hillary clinton wants to have a big turn out and to off set some of the surprising gains that donald trump made in places like the mahoning valley in youngstown and places hit hard by the deindustrialized economy. they have had, i don t know, 500, 600 people today.
