I walked a thousand miles just to slip this skin.

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.

Most artists I know had one person in their life who told them they were the second coming of the baby Jesus, and another person that told them they weren't worth anything, and they believed them both, you know?
Bruce Springsteen

Somebody who can reckon with the past, who can live with the past in the present, and move towards the future - that's fabulous.

There is a real patriotism underneath the best of my music but it is a critical, questioning and often angry patriotism.
