"Bobby Jean" was inspired by Bruce's sadness over Little Steven's departure from the band during the recording of "Born in the USA."

13. The song "My City of Ruins" was inspired by events in which city?

Answer: Asbury Park

This song saw its live deput in December of 2000, during a Christmas Show in Asbury Park. Bruce told the audience that he was upset with the current state of Asbury, and he played the song. Most of the nation first saw it at the 9/11 telethon, where it later appeared on the album "The Rising," leading many to think that it was written about the terrorist attacks.

Answer: Suki Lahav

While Soozie has been playing the violin on Bruce albums more recently, it was Suki Lahav playing those famous chords on several song on "Born to Run".

Answer: Milwaukee, WI

On a very memorable evening, Bruce assumed that the concert was cancelled and proceeded to a local bar. Sure enough, the concert went on later that night, and a very drunk Springsteen returned to the stage to ask the audience "Are you loose?" at least 50 times.
