The drummer in my first band was killed in Vietnam. He kind of signed up and joined the marines. Bart Hanes was his name. He was one of those guys that was jokin' all the time, always playin' the clown.

More quotes by Bruce Springsteen
I guess my view of America is of a real bighearted country, real compassionate.
Bruce Springsteen
The wise men were all fools, what to do?
Bruce Springsteen
Time slips away and leaves you with nothing, mister, but boring stories of glory days.
Bruce Springsteen
Because we lived in the presence of the church and the convent and the rectory and the school 24-7. And this was an enormous cornerstone in the lives of my entire family. They were all pretty serious Catholic churchgoers.
Bruce Springsteen
I think when you're a child, you just cling to the basics, which is the basic story of Jesus and the crucifixion and hell and eternal punishment and the flames. This was all stuff that was - forget when you're young.
Bruce Springsteen
When I was young, it was sort of built to intimidate. Even on this very local level in this very small church in this small town, it still held that sort of - held you in the palm of its darkness.
Bruce Springsteen
A dream of life comes to me, like a catfish dancing on the end of the line.
Bruce Springsteen
Most of these - most people's stage personas are created out of the flotsam and jetsam of their internal geography.
Bruce Springsteen
Somewhere along the way, the idea, which I think was initially to get some fair transaction between people, went out the window. And what came in was, the most you can get and the least you can give. That's why cars are the way they are nowadays. It's just an erosion of all the things that were true and right about the original idea.
Bruce Springsteen
In a restless heart the seed of betrayal lay.
Bruce Springsteen
Politics and life go hand in hand.
Bruce Springsteen
Our American government has strayed too far from American values. It is time to move forward. The country we carry in our hearts is waiting.
Bruce Springsteen
We struggled together, and sometimes, we struggled with one another... We took care of one another... In the end, we kept faith in each other.
Bruce Springsteen
I couldn't worry about whether I`m gonna make it onstage or not. You can't. You just gotta do it. And if you do, you do, and if you don't, you don't, and then something else happens. That's the point of the live performance.
Bruce Springsteen
I studied other singers, so I would learn how to phrase, and learn how to breathe. And the main thing was, I learned how to inhabit my song.
Bruce Springsteen
When I was young I was very shy and that was my personality. I was a pretty sensitive kid and quite neurotic, filled with a lot of anxiety.
Bruce Springsteen
I walked a thousand miles just to slip this skin.
Bruce Springsteen
Just sitting back trying to recapture a little of the glory of... Well, the time slips away and leaves you with nothing, mister, but boring stories of Glory days - yeah, they'll pass you by, Glory days - in the wink of a young girl's eye.
Bruce Springsteen
The wonderful thing about rock music is even if you hate the other person, sometimes you need him more, you know. In other words if he's the guy that made that sound, he's the guy that made that sound, and without that guy making that sound, you don't have a band, you know.
Bruce Springsteen
You may not be able to hit all the notes. That's OK. You may not have the clearest tone. You may not have the greatest range. But if you can inhabit your song, you can communicate.
