Quotes from David Burke

Nebraska will transcend Springsteen, will immortalise him as a writer, because of what it says about civilisation in the range of its complexity--the beauty, the ugliness, the tenderness, the cruelty, the love, the hate, the doubt, the fear-- and because of what it says about the loneliness that lies at the heart of us all.

Nebraska is raw, primitive, ancient, other-worldly, spiritual, nihilistic, heartbreaking, horrifying and a whole bunch of other things that come to you like apparitions whenever you enter its province (ideally under cover of darkness).
