I'm laughing at you, you're laughing at me.

Roy Orbison is singing for the lonely, hey, that's me and I want you only.
Bruce Springsteen
Image
I held four clean aces. I had youth, almost a decade of hard-core bar band experience, a good group of homegrown musicians who were attuned to my performance style and a story to tell.
Bruce Springsteen
Image
With a chance to make it good somehow, hey, what else can we do now? Except roll down the window, and let the wind blow back your hair.
Bruce Springsteen
Image
We've got no fairytale ending, in God's hands our fate is complete. Your heaven's here in my heart, our love's this dust beneath my feet.
Bruce Springsteen
Image
This music is forever for me. It's the stage thing, that rush moment that you live for. It never lasts, but that's what you live for.

I like narrative storytelling as being part of a tradition, a folk tradition.

I've always loved the fact that Bob's [Dylan] been able to sustain his mystery over 50 or 60 years.
