21.01.87 New York City, NY, part of Bruce´s speech inducting Roy Orbison
into the Rock´n´Roll Hall of Fame
´´In 1970 I rode for 15 hours in the back of a U-Haul truck to open
for Roy Orbison at the Nashville Music Festival. It was a summer night and I
was 20 years old and he came out in dark glasses, a dark suit and he played
some dark music.....When I went into the studio to make ´Born to Run´,
most of all I wanted to sing like Roy Orbison. I´ll always remember what
he means to me, what he meant to me when I was young and afraid of love.....´´
