The ability to capture an entire picture (even an entire story) in a sigle word or short phrase is something every writer should apsire to. Springsteen is great, no doubt. Others that do it for me: Don Henely, Bob Seger, even Paul Simon. "..flying my bike past the gates of the factories..." (for me) cojures a fully constructed picture of life on the poor side of the city. <br /><br />Thanks for reminding me how much great lyrics (great writing) means to me.Darrell Jameshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08394984700734588887noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3529128955266044151.post-40852821167854450442010-03-10T11:22:32.387-05:002010-03-10T11:22:32.387-05:00Great post, Tom.
