Bruce Springsteen
I think that, when you're writing your songs, there's always a debate about whether, is that you in the song? Is it not you in the song?
Bruce Springsteen
Your legs were heaven, your breasts were the alter, your body was the holy land.
Bruce Springsteen
Getting an audience is hard. Sustaining an audience is hard. It demands a consistency of thought, of purpose, and of action over a long period of time.
Bruce Springsteen
Elvis Presley is all there is. There just ain't no more. Everything starts and ends with Elvis. He wrote the book. He is everything to do and not to do in the music business.
Bruce Springsteen
It's time to impeach the president and get a man in there to get us out of this mess.
Bruce Springsteen
