Monday evening, we enjoyed Springsteen’s 1987 Tunnel of Love, presented by Ricardo.
- Hearing everyone’s impressions brought fertile fellowship.
- Jeremy’s speakers held a surreal experience, a vast and deep crystal-clear space of sound, and, if you closed your eyes in that darkened room, you felt Bruce alive just on the other side of the wall.
Introspective and vulnerable, mixed in personal trials after Bruce successfully ascended every professional ladder, Tunnel of Love delivers poignant and poetic cautions about “when you’re alone, you’re alone.”
We’ve given each other some hard lessons lately
from “One Step,” track 10 of Tunnel of Love
But we ain’t learnin’
We’re the same sad story, that’s a fact
One step up and two steps back
Learn the hard lessons.
Be a new story.
Step up.
