The piano intro alone is one of the most beautiful pieces of music I’ve ever heard; a heartbreakingly melodic expression of pure emotion. For me, it’s a work of genius (as is the rest of the song) I’ll never tire of it.

Twenty six years old and responsible for this? Sometimes it just doesn’t compute that one man could have written so many great songs at such a young age. The word genius gets thrown around like an old Kleenex these days but there’s never been a doubt in my mind that Bruce definitely wears the crown!

So true Bruce Springsteen is a musical genius. So is the first rock band Bruce saw in concert in Atlantic City new Jersey. THE WHO and Bruce wanted to be like them. PETE TOWNSHEND is a musical genius. I live at the Jersey shore just down the parkway from where Bruce lives cape may new Jersey. I heard a interview with Bruce talking about how seeing the who live. He had to be a rock star. Saw Bruce 4 times and the WHO 5 TIME'S. They are the greatest rock bands ever ever. Still all these years later no rock band comes close.

Him, and often Mark Knopfler, for me (the live versions of Knopfler's Speedway at Nazareth are probably the most visceral musical experience I've ever had). And of course, it's not just them, it's also the musicians they surround themselves with - that, too, is part of the magic, I think.

What? The song has nothing to do with 2 guys(not that there is anything wrong with it), he repeatedly describes terry as "she" and " little girl", bruce stated in his book its about a broken friendship. If you want to take it that way, its ok. Thats not what the song is about. Well, according to the guy that wrote it.

A moment of pure joy which I'll always remember as it's definitely a favourite, and I'd not heard it live before.

The greatest rock n roll lyricist of all time and probably the greatest performer. There is just something about early E Street that really clicks for me. Crazy thing is it was all written before I was even born in '79(except The River, of course). All of his stuff is amazing, but the first 5 albums are what really do it for me. I thank my father for introducing me to The Boss
