Yea....but my question asked who Springsteen said sang for the lonely.

Then there is this:

Westside Steve

Of course the motels nor Roy, are singing about the lonely and not for them.

I didn't think you specified Springsteen quotes, my mistake. Unless of course you have edited that.

No, that was the original question.

The Cysko Kid

You certainly didn't specify Simon and Garfunkel. Thereby still validating my answer for 4.

The question was "where are the words of the prophet written". Answer for SOS by S&G is "on the subway walls and tenement halls".

You said "subway walls and concert halls".

Is there a variation on these lyrics on some other song or cover? I didn't see where you cited that. Show it.

Some song mentions the words of the prophets are written on concert hall? Or walls??

The spirit of radio by rush. I clearly mentioned that.

The Cysko Kid

I have a hard time believing musicians and rock fans are unfamiliar with the spirit of radio by rush. Even if you don't like rush all you have to do is listen to 98.5 for a couple hours and you're guaranteed to hear it.

The Cysko Kid

The lyric, near the end of the song is:

The words of the prophets are written on the subway wall...concert hall...(short instrumental break) and it echoes with the sound of salesmen of salesmen of salesmen

Westside Steve

? Ok I guess you talking about a version that somebody else did and changed the words. A parody? Okay.

I never heard it, didn't know there was one.
