Carmel Hanes's review
of
Deliver Me from Nowhere: The Making of Bruce Springsteen's Nebraska:
"I fell in love with Bruce Springsteen's music as a young adult and own most (maybe all?) of what he has produced. That said, 'Nebraska' was the one album, early on, that left me scratching my head a bit. It didn't "fit" with his other early music. It"

“It was November--the month of crimson sunsets, parting birds, deep, sad hymns of the sea, passionate wind-songs in the pines. Anne roamed through the pineland alleys in the park and, as she said, let that great sweeping wind blow the fogs out of her soul.”

“Books are more than doctors, of course. Some novels are loving, lifelong companions; some give you a clip around the ear; others are friends who wrap you in warm towels when you've got those autumn blues.
