Bruce: "We cut Greetings in three weeks. But Clive handed it back and said there was nothing that could be played on the radio. I'm glad he did; I went home and wrote "Blinded by the Light" and "Spirit in the Night". With the previously missing Clarence Clemens on saxophone, these songs were recorded, and the record was finished.

I never wrote in that style again. Once I heard all the "new Dylan" comparisons, so I steered away from it. But the lyrics an spirit of Greetings came from a very unselfconscious place. Your early songs come out of a moment when you're writing with no sure prospect of ever being heard. Up until then, it's just you and your music. That only happens once."
