“Outside the streets on fire in a real death waltz,
between flesh and what’s fantasy and the poets down here
don’t writer nothing at all, they just stand back and let it all be.
And in the quick of the night they reach for their moment
And try to make an honest stand but wind up wounded, not even dead.
Tonight in Jungleland.”
- Bruce Springsteen (b. 1949), American songwriter and musician: ‘Jungleland’ (song), from the album “Born to Run”, 1975.
”No failure in America, whether of love or money, is ever simple; it is always a kind of betrayal, of a mass of shadowy, shared hopes.”
- Greil Marcus (b. 1945), American rock journalist: ‘Robert Johnson’ in “Mystery Train”, 1976.
