to speak to and correspond with.

better than my wildest dreams.

to communicate.

ego, ambition, desire,

the most consistent impulses in my life.

the Sears and Roebuck's old...
172
00:13:11,083 --> 00:13:14,086
-Oh, Sears.
-[laughs]
173
00:13:14,169 --> 00:13:16,213
Both horrible.
The one in the guitar with--
174
00:13:16,296 --> 00:13:18,298
Look, it's a speaker right here.
175
00:13:18,382 --> 00:13:19,633
Horrible-sounding.
176
00:13:19,716 --> 00:13:22,052
-We all had one of those.
-[laughs]
177
00:13:50,664 --> 00:13:52,457
[Springsteen] On a sunny July day,
178
00:13:52,541 --> 00:13:57,171
there I stood at the bedside
of my old bandmate from the Castiles,
179
00:13:57,254 --> 00:13:58,589
George Theiss.
180
00:13:59,131 --> 00:14:05,095
George, at 68, was in the final stages
of lung cancer and lay very near death.
181
00:14:05,596 --> 00:14:08,223
George was the man
who dated my sister Ginny
182
00:14:08,307 --> 00:14:11,643
and pulled me from my house
on South Street one afternoon,
183
00:14:11,727 --> 00:14:15,606
where I would embark on
one of the greatest adventures of my life.
184
00:14:16,064 --> 00:14:20,527
I'd join my first real band, the Castiles.
185
00:14:21,653 --> 00:14:26,783
The Castiles lasted for three critical,
historically explosive years
186
00:14:27,367 --> 00:14:30,996
from 1965 to 1968,
187
00:14:31,663 --> 00:14:34,166
an eternity in the '60s
188
00:14:34,249 --> 00:14:38,378
and an epic three years
of historical and cultural events.
189
00:14:39,171 --> 00:14:43,509
It was a powder keg of a moment
to be in a young rock and roll band.
190
00:14:44,676 --> 00:14:47,262
That was a long time ago.
191
00:14:48,889 --> 00:14:53,268
But some things imprint themselves on you
and never let you go.
192
00:14:53,894 --> 00:14:55,771
They're a life sentence.
193
00:15:06,490 --> 00:15:08,075
With George's death,
194
00:15:08,158 --> 00:15:13,539
I was the last living member
of the mighty Castiles...
195
00:15:14,581 --> 00:15:17,668
the last living member.
196
00:15:19,753 --> 00:15:23,131
I thought about it... for a long time.
197
00:15:23,215 --> 00:15:28,887
And those meditations ended up being
the songs I've written
198
00:15:28,971 --> 00:15:30,389
for Letter To You.
199
00:15:36,103 --> 00:15:39,189
Music just comes.
200
00:15:39,857 --> 00:15:44,361
Sometimes... and only sometimes,
201
00:15:44,444 --> 00:15:46,154
this is the way it happens.
202
00:15:47,281 --> 00:15:50,409
This music, these songs,
203
00:15:51,285 --> 00:15:57,916
reminded me of the debt that I still owed
my Freehold brothers-in-arms.
204
00:15:59,459 --> 00:16:05,048
So this goes out as a deep and heartfelt
thank you to Diana and George Theiss,

[Lofgren] I remember one time they were
singing "Promised Land" when we stopped,
260
00:21:18,237 --> 00:21:20,531
and you had trouble
starting the next song,
261
00:21:20,614 --> 00:21:24,618
because when you hear that all together,
who wants to stop that?

[Springsteen] We played in Naples.
263
00:21:26,286 --> 00:21:29,957
They were singing internal riffs
of "Rosalita."

What happens in this house matters to me.
339
00:28:11,859 --> 00:28:14,361
We've not been made perfect by God,
340
00:28:15,153 --> 00:28:19,324
but here I try to speak
in the voice of my better angels.
341
00:28:20,576 --> 00:28:25,664
We have been given the tools
and the property of the soul
342
00:28:26,248 --> 00:28:28,625
to be attended to and accountable for.
343
00:28:30,085 --> 00:28:31,712
And that takes work.
344
00:28:33,213 --> 00:28:39,928
Work that we might build on the principles
of love, liberty, fraternity,
345
00:28:40,512 --> 00:28:45,893
ancient ideas that still form the basis
for a good life
346
00:28:45,976 --> 00:28:48,020
and a humane society.
347
00:28:48,604 --> 00:28:52,524
What happens in this house matters.
348
00:28:54,067 --> 00:28:57,029
So, brothers and sisters,
wherever you are...
349
00:28:59,489 --> 00:29:01,325

[Springsteen] It was like
a country club for teenagers.

Kids were all solidly
middle and upper class, you know?

[Springsteen] "Ghosts."
496
00:42:34,304 --> 00:42:36,974
A rock band is a social unit
497
00:42:37,057 --> 00:42:39,893
based on the premise
that all of us together
498

are greater than the sum
of our individual parts,
499
00:42:44,398 --> 00:42:49,194

that we could not achieve alone

While, in our band,
the songs and individual vision are mine,
502
00:42:58,287 --> 00:43:01,456
the physical creation of that vision
503
00:43:01,540 --> 00:43:07,129
into a real-world presence
belongs to all of us.
504
00:43:08,380 --> 00:43:10,340
We are a band.

00:43:10,424 --> 00:43:16,722

00:43:33,322 --> 00:43:38,952
"Ghosts" is about the beauty and joy
of being in a band,

and the pain of losing one another
to illness and time.

"Ghosts" tries to speak
to the spirit of the music itself...

00:43:52,090 --> 00:43:58,305
something none of us owns
but can only discover and share together.

[Springsteen] The songs from 1972...
624
00:52:29,525 --> 00:52:33,153
were and remain a mystery to me.
625
00:52:33,237 --> 00:52:37,991
They were just the way I wrote back then.
[chuckles] A lot of words.
626
00:52:38,075 --> 00:52:40,035
Matter of fact, Clive Davis,
627
00:52:40,118 --> 00:52:44,581
the man who signed me to Columbia Records
with John Hammond,
628
00:52:44,665 --> 00:52:49,586
called me briefly after our record
Greetings from Asbury Park was released
629
00:52:49,670 --> 00:52:53,632
and said someone had called him
and told him if I wasn't careful,
630
00:52:53,715 --> 00:52:57,553
I was going to use up
the entire English language.
631
00:52:58,554 --> 00:53:01,265
And he said that that was Bob Dylan.
632
00:53:01,348 --> 00:53:05,018
Now, Bob was always my mentor
and the brother that I never had,
633
00:53:05,102 --> 00:53:08,230
so I took these words
[chuckling] quite seriously.
634
00:53:09,273 --> 00:53:15,863
But all I know is these songs hold
a very warm place in my heart.
635
00:53:16,488 --> 00:53:20,284
"Song for Orphans" is about
someone overcoming their fears,
636
00:53:20,367 --> 00:53:22,911
their doubts, their times.
637
00:53:22,995 --> 00:53:25,747
It's about fighting
for a place of their own.
638
00:53:25,831 --> 00:53:31,461
And, for a kid,
I thought a lot of myself in 1972,
639
00:53:31,545 --> 00:53:34,840
despite my towering insecurities.
640
00:53:36,091 --> 00:53:40,470
I was an experienced
guitar-playing young lion,
641
00:53:40,554 --> 00:53:43,307
and I felt I had a job to do,
642
00:53:43,390 --> 00:53:47,311
demons to vanquish, a world to claim.
643
00:53:47,394 --> 00:53:50,355
My world, whatever that might be.
644
00:53:50,439 --> 00:53:56,945
And that time I felt I was on the Earth
for one thing and one thing only:
645
00:53:57,029 --> 00:54:02,326
to meet, confront and confirm my destiny.
646
00:54:02,409 --> 00:54:07,039
To come out on that stage
and change your life,

648

649
00:54:12,294 --> 00:54:14,421
my late teenage orphaning,
650
00:54:14,505 --> 00:54:19,176
and I was building with my own hands,
and some help,
651
00:54:19,259 --> 00:54:21,303
a place that was mine.
652
00:54:22,638 --> 00:54:25,307
The confederacy is in my name now,
653
00:54:25,390 --> 00:54:30,270
and I would take the responsibility
and the accountability for it.

There were trains, passenger and freight,
740
01:01:37,197 --> 01:01:40,242
that came through Freehold in the '50s.
741
01:01:40,951 --> 01:01:43,954
During long summer afternoons,
742
01:01:44,037 --> 01:01:49,042
we waited for them to jump and ride
from one end of town to the other
743
01:01:49,126 --> 01:01:53,589
or just to lay our pennies
down on the rails
744

and pick them up hot and flat.

I got pretty used to death

due to the many Irish and Italian wakes
in our family.
748
01:02:10,856 --> 01:02:14,735
By six or seven,
you were expected to go with your parents
749
01:02:14,818 --> 01:02:19,156
through the doors of the funeral home
with your hand in theirs,
750
01:02:19,239 --> 01:02:22,826
make your way through the crowded room
to the coffin.
751
01:02:23,535 --> 01:02:28,332
Then kneel at its side
and stare death briefly in the eye.

Your parents would raucously mingle.
753
01:02:32,669 --> 01:02:33,670
Then after a while,
754
01:02:33,754 --> 01:02:39,009
you rode home with a strange sense
of terror-filled accomplishment...
755
01:02:40,010 --> 01:02:41,637
filling your young soul.
756
01:02:43,347 --> 01:02:47,309
Back home,
you knelt at your bedside and recited,
757
01:02:47,935 --> 01:02:53,899
"Now I lay me down to sleep,
I pray to God my soul to keep.

And if I die before I wake,

that someday we will close our eyes
764

will unfold above us...
