Thunder Road

Bruce Springsteen's Song

If you believe the story told during concerts, the idea began in an isolated desert -- two friends traveling across the country, becoming awakened to the breadth of America. That incident was translated into the quintessential song of the dreams of youth, the wonder of escape, and what people become from their memories. Then and it foreshadows the humility of the human experience and the inevitable acceptance of home. This song stands as the relic of a regular American life lived, and as the emblem of many American lives BEING lived.
