Last night Bruce Springsteen was here in Bologna. It was his first concert in Italy. When I heard about it, it was already too late. There were no tickets left.
Sorry to confess that I was not very familiar with his songs, except for the "Born in the USA".
Fortunately our local TV channel transmitted parts of this concert.
"Silence please", he asked for it and got a pin-drop silence from the audience. And then, he sang about the invisible world, the world of war, peace and loneliness of immigrants.

Plain simple words, accompanied by his guitar or harmonica. There was no orchestra. Absolutely wonderful.
Made me think of Gulzaar. "Hamne dekhi ha un ankhon ki mehkati khusboo.., sirf ahsaas hai yeh ruh se mehsoos karo..".
