Springsteen Looks Back On His Darkness

(Gibson) With Darkness on the Edge of Town set for re-release in a little over a month, Bruce Springsteen took the opportunity to look back on the landmark album. In a new interview with The Guardian, The Boss reminisced about those touch-and-go days following the sweeping success of Born to Run."The whole force of Darkness
was a survival thing," he recalled. "After Born to Run, I had a reaction to my good fortune. With success, it felt like a lot of people who'd come before me lost some essential part of themselves. My greatest fear was that success was going to change or diminish that part of myself." He continued, "People thought we were gone. Finished. They just thought Born to Run had been a record company creation. We had to reprove our viability on a nightly basis, by playing, and it took many years. You had to be very committed. One thing we did well after Born to Run was, I said: 'Woah.' I got on Time and Newsweek because I decided to be. But I was very frightened at the train and how fast it was going when we got on." - more on this story
