Bruce Springsteen Talking

by John W. Duffy

Extrovert on stage, introvert off, Bruce Springsteen has a lot to say about his life and work, and his place in American society. The Boss has retained his dignity through 25 years as America’s foremost rock performer. Never a man to rush into anything, Bruce’s words are carefully considered, thoughtful, passionate and sincere. QUOTES ‘In the third grade a nun stuffed me in a garbage can under her desk because she said that’s where I belonged.’; ‘There ain't a note that I play on stage that can’t be traced back directly to my mother and father.’; ‘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.’; ‘You ride in a limousine the first time, it’s a big thrill but after that it’s just a stupid car.’; ‘At this point, I don’t need my records to be Number One or sell as many as this person or that person. That’s not fundamentally important – I don’t believe that sustains you.’

Loved it! It was great to see the progression of the Boss's ideas through the years and on various topics that people have wondered about but don't know for sure. Lots of great food for thought here. Bruce has a lot of deep things to say about a lot of legit topics.
