Springsteen & I Page #3

---

When the strip shuts dn

we run 'em in the street

From the fire roads

to the interstate

Hi. My name is Kitty.

I'm a truck driver.

And Bruce Springsteen is my favorite

artist to listen to on the road.

Recently I drove

through Arizona

and I listened to

his album Nebraska

and the song

Atlantic City came on.

And it just felt really good,

listening to that loud,

while driving

through the desert.

In fact, I think every

important moment of my life

has a theme song

that's Bruce Springsteen.

So all of these CDs in my car,

absolutely every single one

is Bruce Springsteen.

Wait, actually one is his wife

Patti, my favorite album from Patti.

But that's all

we listen to in this car,

so my three sons,

they have no choice.

I only listen to Bruce

and they are schooled in the

music of Bruce Springsteen

when they drive

around with Mommy

and I have to take them

all over God's creation.

They know they don't have a choice.

It's no Disney bop nonsense music.

It's Bruce Springsteen.

And I love it, because

it gives me such joy.

I'm so proud of them when they can

sing songs that are 30 years old

(CHUCKLES)

from when I was little.

I go driving deep into

the light, in Candy's eyes

She says,

Baby if you wanna be wild

You got a lot to learn

Close your eyes

Let them melt, let them e

Let them burn

'Cause in the darkness

There'll be hidden

worlds that shine

When I hold Candy close

She makes the

hidden worlds mine

Bruce... Bruce's sound

and E Street Band

sounded completely different than

anything else I'd ever heard.

With Clarence in there

and the keyboard layers

and the heavier drumming.

It's like a punchy

soul band or something.

Sexy sax.

Hence began my love

for rhythm and blues

and sex music,

I guess, soul music.

Bruce's lyrics...

...always made me feel...

...like I was going through

someone's family photo album

and looking at their life

and feeling what they felt

and smelling their coffee

and feeling their sadness

and their triumph.

(SNIFFLES)

There's a place right on

the edge of town, sir

Rising above

the factories and the fis

Where ever since

I was a child I can remer

That mansion on the hil

In the day you could se

the children playing

On the road that leads to

those gates of hardened steel

Steel gates that

completely surround sir

That mansion on the hill

At night my daddy'd takee

and we'd ride

Through the streets of

a town so silent and still

We'd park on a back rod

down by the highway side

Sit and look up at

the mansion on the hil

WOMAN:
So, David, what does

Bruce Springsteen mean to you?

Bruce Springsteen means love,

not for him, but for you.

You being a fan, I've had
