A Q&A with Jeff Burger, editor of Springsteen on Springsteen: Interviews, Speeches and Encounters

Q. What led to your own interview with Springsteen?
A. One day in late 1973, the mailman delivered a review copy of Springsteen's just-released second album. I'd barely heard of him before the LP arrived but the more I played it the more captivated I became. So I called the publicity department at Colum Read more of this blog post »

Quotes by Jeff Burger (?)

“I think we can take it for granted that everybody suffers a sense of something left undone, unfelt, unexperienced, and”

“Quieting the internal strife frees the spirit. Leonard is constantly refining his techniques for getting high. Drugs don’t work anymore. Neither does public acclaim or the music industry or Scientology (which he once was into), but yoga, fasting, and his writing help. So does Suzanne. The process is ongoing and more profound as the years pass. You can see it on his face. Refining. Always refining. And that’s why I search out Leonard. Why I love the man. Leonard knows a lot about searching, and I’m trying to become better at it myself. He turned me onto it. My brother crystallized it when he took me aside one day and said: “You don’t like yourself very much. That’s why you run around. You’re afraid if you slow down you’ll find out there’s nothing to you … but there is.”
