"You meet somebody and it's like an open well. In ten minutes I'll
know more about him than his mother and father do, maybe his best
friend. All the things it usually takes for people to know each other
just go away, because there's this feeling that it's so fleeting. They
tell you the thing that's most important to them right away. It's just a real raw, emotional thing;
it's like the cleanest thing you ever felt. You have a communication, a
feeling, and I don't know, you just gotta love the guy. If you don't
there's something the matter with you.
And it ain't some
starry-eyed thing, and it ain't some Hollywood thing, and it ain't some
celebrity thing. This guy, he loves you, and what's more, he knows you
in a certain way. That's the thing that makes me strong. I get strong
when I meet somebody like that."
Springsteen & I is a documentary that needs to explain why it exists, but I thought of this when I saw the great scene when the kid tells Bruce's he's been dumped, and Bruce gives him a hug. And he fucking means it.
