Lisboa, 3/4 de Junho de 2012, Parque da Bela Vista
















The screen door slams, Mary's dress waves
Like a vision she dances across the porch as the Radio plays
Roy Orbison singing for the lonely
Hey, that's me and I want you only

"Thunder Road"
25 de Agosto 1975














Message just keep getting clearer, Radio's on and I'm moving round the place
I check my look in the mirror wanna change my clothes my hair my face
Man I ain't getting nowhere I'm just livin in a dump like this
There's something happening somewhere baby I just know that there is

"Dancing in the Dark"
4 de Junho 1984

































O que ele diz:

When I was growing up, there were two things that were unpopular in my house. One was me, and the other was my guitar.

Until I realized that rock music was my connection to the rest of the human race, I felt like I was dying, for some reason, and I didn't know why.

You know the old saying: Trust the art, not the artist. I think that's true. I think somebody can do real good work and be a fool in a variety of ways.

Adult life is dealing with an enormous amount of questions that don't have answers. So I let the mystery settle into my music. I don't deny anything, I don't advocate anything, I just live with it.

[Sobre Bob Dylan] Bob freed your mind the way Elvis freed your body. He showed us that just because music was innately physical did not mean that it was anti-intellectual. He had the vision and the talent to make a pop record that contained the whole world.

[Sobre Elvis Presley] He was as big as the whole country itself, as big as the whole dream. He just embodied the essence of it and he was in mortal combat with the thing. Nothing will ever take the place of that guy.

There have been a lot of tough guys. There have been pretenders. And there have been contenders. But there is only one King.

I'm driving in my car, I turn on the radio
I'm pulling you close, you just say no
You say you don't like it, but girl I know you're a liar
Because when we kiss, Fire!
