Bruce Springsteen| Born to Run
feelin’ it
This song always feels like the 4th of July to me. And a roadtrip.
Bruce in general makes me feel like that, too.
npr:
Bruce Springsteen offered much to take away from his keynote address at Austin’s annual South by Southwest music festival. He advised young musicians to believe in their own greatness — and to admit it when they suck. (Springsteen used that word frequently during his apparently wholly self-penned speech.) Chronicling his own artistic development, he talked about how doo-wop taught him about sex, country music helped him understand despair and Woody Guthrie revealed the political roots of the fatalism he’d heard in Hank Williams — then he made the crowd feel Guthrie’s complicated passion in their own throats by leading a singalong of “This Land Is Your Land.”
What does music mean to you?
Man, I love me some Bruce. Inherited it from my dad.
