You can hide beneath the covers and study your pain, make crosses from your lovers, throw roses in the rain. Waste your summer praying in vain, for a savior to rise from these streets.

I was a guitar player on the streets of Asbury Park and already a member in good standing amongst those who lie in service of the truth - artists with a small A. But I held four clean aces.

I tend to be pessimistic. I want to believe in hope.

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

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