They put a rifle in my hand, sent me off to a foreign land to go and kill the Yellow man.
Bruce Springsteen

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.

If I have a song that I feel is really one of my best songs, I like it to have a formal studio recording because I believe that something being officially released on a studio record gives it a certain authority that it doesn't quite have if it comes out on a live album or is just a part of your show, you know.

Tonight this fool's halfway to heaven and just a mile outta hell And I feel like I'm comin' home.
Bruce Springsteen

If they had told me I was the janitor and would have to mop up and clean the toilets after the show in order to play, I probably would have done it.

Just sitting around waiting for my life to begin, while it was all just slipping away.
Bruce Springsteen

I go to put my arm around you and you give me a look like I'm way out of bounds.

Unions have been the only powerful and effective voice working people have ever had in the history of this country.

The first day I can remember looking into a mirror and being able to stand what I saw was the day I had a guitar in my hand.
Bruce Springsteen
Image
The name 'Boss' started with people that worked for me... It was not meant like Boss, capital B, it was meant like 'Boss, where's my dough this week?' And it was sort of just a term among friends. I never really liked it.
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.

The release date is just one day, but the record is forever.

Mental illness and creativity are - it's a thin line in between the two. I tend to believe that.
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.

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.

I don't like to write rhetorically or get on a soapbox. I try to make the stuff multi-layered, so that it always has a life outside its social context. I don't believe that you can tell people anything you can only draw them in.
Bruce Springsteen

Politics and life go hand in hand.
Bruce Springsteen
Image
The school system only recognizes one type of intelligence. There are so many different types of intelligence.
Bruce Springsteen
Image
The different social forces that affected my parents' lives or my friends' lives or I saw around me became essential for me to write about.

You ride in a limousine the first time, it's a big thrill but after that it's just a stupid car.
