Springsteen & I Page #2

---

to listen to the words,

or understand the words,

what do you say?

Okay.

And do you hear the words?

Yes.

Do you really hear the words?

Yes.

Okay, I just want to make sure.

Thank you, goodbye.

MAN:
Thank you, Dominic.

DOMINIC:
Yeah!

So we got to the

park at four o'clock

with our signs with us,

our home-made signs.

You can't start a fire

I had my "I'll be your

Courtney Cox" sign.

I'm stranded with

a broken heart

I had my Aviator sunglasses on.

It was pouring with rain.

I had my

Courtney Cox T-shirt on.

You can't start a fire

Then James said to me, "Rachel, come on.

Get on my shoulders."

And I was like,

"Oh, no, I don't want to."

I felt bad for the people behind us.

They wouldn't be able to see.

He's like, "Come on. You never know

when we're going to see Bruce again."

Literally, a couple of

seconds into the song,

Bruce spotted me

and started laughing

and he was pointing at me

and I was waving at him.

Next thing I know, I get put on

the big screen with my sign.

The next thing I know, the girl in

front of me just turned around to me

and screamed, "He wants you on the stage!

"He wants you on the stage!"

Hey, baby!

The next thing I know, I'm just being

pushed through a sea of black bodies.

I had my sunglasses on.

I couldn't see anything.

The next thing I know I'm dancing

with Bruce Springsteen on stage.

Before I knew it, it was all over.

That was it.

We took a bow

and he gave me a big hug

and the only thing I could say

to him was, "Bruce, I love you."

You can't start a fire

Even if we're just

dancing in the dark

I got a '69 Chevy with a 396

WOMAN:
I can't get through a day

without listening to Bruce.

His storytelling is perfect.

It's helped me through

serious highs and...

MAN:
Since then he was two things

for me, a friend and a teacher.

I think most of all he taught me

how to be a man and a decent man

through his songs

and through his life.

WOMAN 2:
Because I lost my

virginity tThunder Road.

MAN 2:
Whenever I'm feeling

lonely, or depressed,

I can always listen to oe

of his songs or albums

and it always

helps me feel bett.

WOMAN 3:
A song by Bruce can

stop me dead in my tracks,

even a song I've heard over

and over again for 28 years.

WOMAN 4:
But Bruce

is timeless.

He's helped me live in my own

time and become who I am.

MAN 3:
I've been a fan of

Springsteen's all my life.

WOMAN 5:
He was just standing in that

spotlight and he was so powerful

and the whole crowd was just

mesmerised by what he could do

and the stories that he could tell

and I just remember thinking,

"What is this? Who can do this?

What kind of power is that"

And we cover

all the northeast state
