Coming: Bruce Springsteen, Musical Genius, Master Lyricist: Life In All Its Brilliant Disguises. The Boss. On Stage, Off-Stage....
He’s suffered crippling depression and survived being vilified in an ugly divorce as a jealous, abusive, adulterous spouse. You’ve heard all about it because Springsteen wrote all about it.
Tomorrow’s Baltimore Observed.
Bruce Springsteen: poet-journalist who views himself and the world with equal clarity, brutal honesty and fearlessness.
“Now look at me baby
Struggling to do everything right
And then it all falls apart
When out go the lights
I'm just a lonely pilgrim
I walk this world in wealth
I want to know if it's you I don't trust
'Cause I damn sure don't trust myself
Now you play the loving woman
I'll play the faithful man
But just don't look too close
Into the palm of my hand
We stood at the altar
The gypsy swore our future was right
But come the wee wee hours
Well maybe baby the gypsy lied
So when you look at me
You better look hard and look twice
Is that me baby
Or just a brilliant disguise
Tonight our bed is cold
Lost in the darkness of our love
God have mercy on the man
Who doubts what he's sure of”
