  I love these - new people encountering the giant majesty of Bruce in his prime. 'Damn' is indeed the word.

  He puts on 4 solid hours of the most amazing musical performance you've ever seen. Stunningly emotional... a thrill ride.

  "Is a dream a lie if it don't come true or is it something worse?" - in my opinion one the best lines ever written. The song is based on the life of Bruce's one year younger sister Virgina and his brother-in-law Mickey. She became pregnant at a very young age, they got married and living their parent's life in New Jersey. The difference to the young couple in the song is, they are still together to this day 😊 If you wanna dig deeper into Bruce I would start with the album "Born To Run", then "Darkness On The Edge Of Town", followed by "The River". Next I would go back to his first two albums "Greetings From Asbury Park" and "The Wild, The Innocent And The E Street Shuffle" before I would go ahead with "Nebraska", "Born In The USA" and everything what follows.

  I feel so fortunate to have been alive to witness Bruce for his entire career! He has been the Walt  Whitman of my life.

  Re: lyrics, this is a true story about Bruce’s sister and brother-in-law. She got pregnant, they had to marry very young. His brother-in-law told Bruce about languishing in the 80s economy (which would NOT improve for American blue collar workers). The happy news is they are still married…but this song always feels like a ghost story to me.

  He actually wrote this song about his sister and brother in law, and this album had just come out. So he hadn't performed it a million times yet. I think that's why he was so emotional singing it.
