LONG WALK HOME - Bruce Springsteen commented texts, 1992-2009 
Here I am, a full year of distance. Back in the library. This time the settaccio I spent all that has been since 1992. If you have time, bring these reflections in the three Italian stadiums which will play Bruce Springsteen. Will keep you good company. The book came out today.
It's called
Springsteen. LONG WALK HOME - test Discussed 1992-2009 (413 pages). Publish the kinds of Arcana.
The text below is an excerpt from the introduction. Together Through Life, "all through life" (I stole the title, the beautiful, the new Dylan). The songs "recent" by Bruce Springsteen.
E 'that we have scrubbed the seventies. And all that uniqueness that we have taken for a request for a reply. It remains an evil because things were not any more. There were movies and discs just perfect, the ones with the two sides and a number of songs often impeccable. There were "Late For The Sky "and" Running On Empty, "" Hejira "and" Tapestry "," Harvest "and" After The Gold Rush, "" Transformers "and" Ziggy Stardust ", David and Lou, the Rolling Stones" Sticky Fingers "," Exile On Main St. "and" Goats Head Soup. "The Beatles no longer, but Lennon wrote" Imagine "and McCartney recorded" Band On The Run ".
There were beautiful songs like" Werewolves of London " and "Sweet Home Alabama" that Kid Rock would be merged into a thirty years later ("All Summer Long") because now you do this and more. There were luxurious in the Eagles Hotel California Hotel Chelsea and the first of Punk. were years when television and cinema were the initials happened to "Amoreena" by Elton John, the whole, were synchronized on the opening sequence of "That Dog Day Afternoon" with Al Pacino. In the summer of 1975 in New York, the New York, ran a Springsteen still
wild & innocent: he had a beard and he would just cut would become equal to Al Pacino. In five years he recorded the best he could record: "Born To Run", "Darkness On The Edge Of Town" and "The River" (we talked about in the first volume: Talk About A Dream). Then came the eighties. Then the nineties. Then the Big Bang of 2K.
Here we are, to always say that it was better before without realizing that Springsteen has just completed his fourth decade of recording and that is the logic of things that the first two have seen from here, another march. I just want to think that so many under 30 today that fill stadiums and arenas where he played Bruce Springsteen should not necessarily know all this. If you have soiled a few nights maybe the nose is better, but their seventies is right that if you try between the energy of "The Rising" and the chiaroscuro of "Devils & Dust." Then go around again, obsessively, and as he was in the millennium has not been more.
