  ”Lost track of how far I've gone

  How far I've gone, how high I've climbed

  On my back's a sixty pound stone

  On my shoulder, a half-mile line…”

  This was Bruce’s comeback and reunion with the E Street Band, after laying low for most of the 90s. As the story goes, shortly after 9/11 a driver spotted Bruce and called to him out the window, “We need you now.” Bruce answered the call with this 9/11-themed album. I will never forgive the Grammys for giving the Album of the Year award to Come Away With Me (as good as that album was) instead of this.
