You weren't supposed to hear Elvis Presley. You weren't supposed to hear Jerry Lee Lewis. You weren't supposed to hear Robert Johnson. You weren't supposed to hear Hank Williams. And they told the story of the secret America.

Did God make man in a breath of holy fire, or did he crawl on up out of the muck and mire?

I don't want to make a record like in the '50s or the '60s or the '70s. I want to make a record like today, that`s right now.

In the early years, I found a voice that was my voice and also partly my father's voice. But isn't that what you always do? Why do kids at 5 years old go into the closet and put their daddy's shoes on? Hey, my kids do it.

Yeah, I had gay friends. The first thing I realized was that everybody's different, and it becomes obvious that all of the gay stereotypes are ridiculous.

Roll down the window and let the wind blow back your hair. The night's busted open. These two lanes will take us anywhere.

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.

If you want truth to go round the world you must hire an express train to pull it but if you want a lie to go round the world, it will fly: it is as light as a feather, and a breath will carry it. It is well said in the old proverb, 'a lie will go round the world while truth is pulling its boots on'.
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
Image
Well now I'm no hero, that's understood. All the redemption I can offer girl, is beneath this dirty hood. 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. Well the night's busting open, these two lanes will take us anywhere. We got one last chance to make it real.

Roy Orbison is singing for the lonely, hey, that's me and I want you only.

I had a ten-piece band when I was 21 years old, the Bruce Springsteen Band. This is just a slightly expanded version of a band I had before I ever signed a record contract. We had singers and horns.

When you`re onstage you have a certain faith that somebody's gonna yell somethin' back. Some nights it's louder than other nights and some nights they do, and on some songs they don't. But that's the idea. I think when you begin to expect a reaction from an audience, it's a mistake.

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

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.

I had no credit cards. I had no checks. I was cash only until I was probably 30 years old.
Bruce Springsteen

The street's alive as secret debts are paid, Contacts made, they vanished unseen. Kids flash guitars just like switch-blades Hustling for the record machine. The hungry and the hunted explode into rock'n'roll bands That face off against each other out in the street, down in Jungleland.

The wise men were all fools, what to do?

Those wounds stay with you, and you turn them into a language and a purpose.

Pessimism and optimism are slammed up against each other in my records, the tension between them is where it's all at, it's what lights the fire.
