Bruce Springsteen - Houston, TX - The Toyota Center - 4/8/09

Darkness on The Edge of Town says that life is tough, but life is not something to run away from. The answers are not just across the county line or in some far-away fantasy world; they exist in the individual. For the first time we see Springsteen embracing reality, not trying to create some fantastical universe where the guy gets the girl and they live happily ever after. I remember Bruce saying something about how in his previous albums the guy always got the girl and they rode off into the sunset...but this was the first album where he began to question, "Yeah, and then what?" Well, this album contains every kind of "then what" you can imagine. http://www.thelightindarkness.com
