Everything I Really Needed to Know I Learned from Bruce Springsteen

(While cleaning up my Docs file, I found this list I started a couple years ago and had forgotten about--I think I should keep going . . .)


• We’re all born into families but we get to pick our blood brothers.
• A song can bridge great distances, all the miles in between, even heaven and earth.
• There is a very thin line between the winners and losers in life and it’s easy to get caught on the wrong side of that line.
• Even if you aren’t pretty, someone will definitely try to get you in the backseat anyway.
• It’s possible, probably common, to be crazy in love with someone and have no idea who they really are.
• There’s plenty of room for us all on that train--saints and sinners, whores and gamblers, even the lost souls.
• Sometime you gotta just cut it loose and have a laugh on me.
• Just because the ride is dark doesn’t mean you shouldn’t strap yourself in and take a shot.
• We cannot undo these things we've done.
• Sure, the world beats us up some, but it doesn’t mean you shouldn’t be happy you’re alive because someday we might look back on this and it will all seem funny.
