“And I thought about how many people have loved those songs. And how many people got through a lot of bad times because of those songs. And how many people enjoyed good times with those songs. And how much those songs really mean. I think it would be great to have written one of those songs. I bet if I wrote one of them, I would be very proud. I hope the people who wrote those songs are happy. I hope they feel it’s enough. I really do because they’ve made me happy. And I’m only one person.”

Hook - When You’re Alone (1991) Sing to me, Hook! Sing me out of my grief and misery! Send me to Never Never Land! Growing up sucks dick, I recommend not doing it if you’ve got a choice. And I do NOT mean by committing suicide or some pussy shit like that, but if you can find a way to Neverland—TAKE IT. From what I hear it’s just the second star to the right, then straight on ‘till morning.

Bruce Springsteen - Growin’ Up (Live, 1972) Holy shit. One of the best things I’ve seen on the internet. An almost 40-year old performance of a 23-year old Bruce Springsteen doing a solo acoustic set while opening for some forgotten about band? Wow. Words cannot describe the passion and power Bruce commands, it can only be felt, heard, seen, and experienced. Plus he is one goddamn handsome motherfucker. Gives me goosebumps. Chills. Makes me tear up. It’s a treat hearing him talking before the song, and then it begins… “Well, my feet they finally took root in the earth, but I got me a nice little place in the stars Brrrruuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuccceee!!!!!
