#QuotsyMarch18 #hunger

Hungry Heart ❤️

Got a wife & kids in Baltimore, Jack ,
I went out for a ride & I never went back
Like a river that don‘t know where it‘s flowing
I took a wrong turn & I just kept going

Everybody‘s got a hungry heart .....

CarolynM Such a great opening lyric. I've always wished he told us a bit more about where he went, though. 7y
Cathythoughts @CarolynM I know ! What an opening line ! I love his music ❤️ 7y

The hubby just doesn't understand. Appropriate response would have been, "I know - you've been talking about it for months so I already bought you a copy." ?Also - he affectionately refers to me as a nerd - so don't be offended ☺️

KVanRead 😂😂😂 8y
PenguinInFlight 😂😂😂 Sounds like a response I would get from my husband, LOL. (I'm a book nerd, he's a gamer geek...both of which are used affectionately.❤️) 8y

LauraBeth @MysticRaven03 and @KVanRead he thinks Litsy is the "book nerd club" ?? 8y
LauraBeth @PenguinInFlight mine's a gamer geek as well so I can relate 😀 8y
SusanInTiburon I was so happy when my kids started calling me a nerd!! I felt like they finally saw the real Me behind the Mom! 8y
LauraBeth @SusanInTiburon it's nice when people finally see the real you and love you for it 😀 8y
LeahBergen Ha!!! 8y
KVanRead @LauraBeth actually I think it's the book nerd club of my dreams 😍🤓 8y
Grimlock Nerd pride! I'm a huge nerd and proud of the fact. I get more offended when people try to argue that I'm not a nerd than when they call me one for any reason. 8y
DianeDeMasi 😂 that is true love. 8y
LauraBeth @Grimlock you're my kind of people 😀 8y
LauraBeth @Kappadeemom, @DianeDeMasi, @KVanRead, @fern, @LeahBergen I like that so many books show up in the mail that he just assumes they are coming from the "book nerd club" ?? 8y
Grimlock @LauraBeth thank you. And I have nothing but love for my fellow nerds. I have a soft spot for self professed nerds who proudly wave their nerd flag! 8y
saguarosally I wish I had a copy to send you so you could tell him you got it from the book nerd club! 8y

Did you ever want to know which books The Boss likes the best? Now you can- http://www.openculture.com/2016/09/bruce-springsteen-lists-20-of-his-favorite-bo...

Lola Four days until the book. Four long days. But there are bits and pieces flying about the interwebs! 8y
Lola I'm surprised Steinbeck isn't on this list! Richard Ford, who is, reviews his memoir in the NYT. He liked it :) https://www.google.com/amp/mobile.nytimes.com/2016/09/25/books/review/bruce-spri... 8y
CherylDeFranceschi @Lola I can't wait to read it! 8y

Lola @CherylDeFranceschi I can't either! It's all set to download on release day. And I predict this will be the go-to birthday gift for me from every friend and family member I have 😂😂😂 8y
CherylDeFranceschi @Lola Ha! A stack o' Boss! Love it. 8y
kspenmoll Thanks!!! 8y
Lola Phew! If you click on the link in the Open Culture piece to the '14 NYT By The Book Piece they pulled the titles from, Steinbeck IS there. I remember reading the NYT piece with much excitement when it came out. Bruce on Steinbeck: "I read “The Grapes of Wrath” very late, long after I‘d written the song “Ghost of Tom Joad.” However, it ended up being everything I‘d hoped it to be. I haven‘t read “East of Eden” yet, and I‘d like to." 8y
CherylDeFranceschi @Lola Yay! -when you're right, you're right. 8y
Lola @CherylDeFranceschi I was a little worried about my Super Fan credentials! 😜 8y

I couldn't find the book in the database, but if anyone will be in the Portland area October 4, here's a chance to see The Boss talk about his memoir. Tickets on sale tomorrow! 🎤🎸http://click.email.powells.com/?qs=15c602e85c7b13ee65bd6657018e7181fe45613a15bcbb73bead51cf0344814c

Springsteen discusses his writing process for his upcoming book: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=UOXz2jQogKE&list=PLJ3gKh8Ty5pbEVDWWVzjHHdSVjdwIm_z...

Ericmanciniwriter I could listen to the boss tell random stories all day. He's so eloquent in describing his songwriting process 8y
LauraBeth Me too @Eamann - he sounds like he's really spent his entire life honing his creative process 8y
Kitta @BooksGirlsCats May be of interest! 😉 8y
katrrosee So we love the same books and the same musicians? I think we're long-lost twins. 👯 8y

KrisConstantReader Or "I wish it were out now" --now I feel stupid cause I really should know which is correct ? 9y
