...reflection, in Goya's prints and not a few of his paintings, moves from being a philosophical exercise into a sort of frenzy, a despairing assault on a world of terminal evil. Greed, whoring, pederasty, witchcraft and the religious bigotry that was its mirror image, the brutality of the low and the myopic arrogance of the high, and above all the limitless cruelties inflicted in the name of orthodoxy (by the Inquisition) and political conquest (by the invading French and their guerrilla opponents): these possess him as they have possessed no other artist before or since.

His precepts center on the belief that "market forces work best, but there are situations where they don't work perfectly."

Springsteen quickly learned not only how to play to the camera but how to work with it as well, and you can see the moment it happened, in Brian De Palma's crafty 1984 rendering of an in-concert Dancing in the Dark. After that, Springsteen performed dazzlingly...
