I didn't make that much money... Once I joined Bruce (Springsteen), I took a huge pay cut.

My lifelong friend and mentor Frank Barsalona is gone. And the music business as we knew it went with him.

Anytime you spend six months on a song (Born to Run), there's something not exactly going right. A song should take about three hours.
