My imagination makes me human and makes me a fool; it gives me all the world, and exiles me from it.

Springsteen’s Handwritten ‘Born to Run’ Lyrics Head to Auction | NY Times

[scumfromtheslum-blog]

Early-1975, just months before the release of his breakthrough album, “Born to Run”, Bruce Springsteen was hand-writing apologetic notes to his “landlordess,” Marilyn Rocky, due to late rent payments. The autograph practice was soon put to good use as, according to Marilyn, by August of that year the house in Long Branch, New Jersey, “was under siege" as a result of her tenant’s new found fame.

Transcript

Dear Landlordess,

This is the only water bill I have. I think there was one other one but it wasn’t much and I took care of it myself. Anyway they haven’t sent any notices so I guess it’s O.K.

Sorry if the rent is late this month but I forgot to tell the office in N.Y. that they were gonna send it out. If you don’t have it now it’s in the mail and should arrive tomorrow or the next day.

Your ever gracious tenant 

Bruce Springsteen

P.S. Do you like this classy writin’ paper?

Don’t bring up the past of a person who is trying to improve their future

This is such an important message that is so relevant to me. Please, do not stop people from reaching a good place in life because of things they cannot take back. It is so painful. (via poesy)

I wrote this quote down and taped it to a shelf above my desk awhile back. It motivates me and helps me through tough times in my life, much like Bruce’s music does. We all miss you, Big Man. Thanks for making people like me a little more confident in themselves.

I was raised Catholic, so Jesus is my homeboy.
