“Cheap romance, it's all just a crutch.You don't want nothin' that anybody can touch.You're so afraid of being somebody's fool,Not walkin' tough baby, not walkin' cool.You walk cool, but darlin', can you walk the line?And face the ties that bind.The ties that bind,Now you can't break the ties that bind.”Bruce Springsteen "The Ties That Bind" Song lyrics, The River (1980)
“This music is forever for me. It's the stage thing, that rush moment that you live for. It never lasts, but that's what you live for.”Bruce Springsteen Time magazine (27 October 1975)
