On Conan, comedian Louis C.K. talked about the importance of being alone. He explained how the constant presence of cell phones removes us from the existential feeling of sadness, an experience he wants his daughters to understand.
Previously, we discussed how Bruce Springsteen similarly wanted his children to understand a certain sadness in life as revealed in his song “Racing in the Street.” Louis C.K., however, used another Springsteen example for his existential crisis, “Jungleland,” even singing a few bars.
So if you are the mood for that kind of sadness, put away your cell phone and sit back and listen to Bruce Springsteen and the E Street band live.
What is your favorite song that makes you feel alone? Leave your two cents in the comments.
