In 1977 Bruce Springsteen wrote the best song ever written amd it became the title song of his 1978 4th album.
Here is the amazing lyrics to ‘Darkness on the Edge if Town’, my favourite song of all times.
They’re still racing out at the Trestles, But that blood it never burned in her veins, Now I hear she’s got a house up in Fairview, And a style she’s trying to maintain.
Well, if she wants to see me, You can tell her that I’m easily found, Tell her there’s a spot out ‘neath Abram’s Bridge,
And tell her, there’s a darkness on the edge of town.
Everybody’s got a secret, Sonny, Something that they just can’t face, Some folks spend their whole lives trying to keep it,They carry it with them every step that they take.
Till some day they just cut it loose, Cut it loose or let it drag ’em down, Where no one asks any questions, or looks too long in your face,
In the darkness on the edge of town.
Some folks are born into a good life, Other folks get it anyway, anyhow, I lost my money and I lost my wife, Them things don’t seem to matter much to me now.
Tonight I’ll be on that hill ’cause I can’t stop, I’ll be on that hill with everything I got, Lives on the line where dreams are found and lost, I’ll be there on time and I’ll pay the cost, For wanting things that can only be found
In the darkness on the edge of town.

I took three minutes – three! Zlatan Ibrahimovic has made his premiere for Manchester United starting as number 9 in Manchester United playing Turkish Galatasaray in Gothenburg Sweden last night.
After three (3) minutes of his first game for Zlatan Ibrahimovic to score his first goal for Manchester United with a spectacular overhead-kick in the right top corner of the goal.
Ibra has just returned only four days ago from an extended vacation after the EuroCup. Despite his recent arrival new manager Jose Mourinho selected Ibrahomvic as striker when Manchester United played Turkish giants Galatasary.
It took Ibra 194 pnly seconds to score for his new club. And how he did it!
There is no doubt now for anybody, Zlatan Ibrahimovic has arrived to Premiere League.
In Paris he came as a king and left after four season of titles and records as a legend. Now he will conquer England.
Our neighbors in the West, Norway, has always struggled with the infrastructure along its coast, where fjords and high mountains hampers transport.
In the current situation it takes more than 109 mil-long journey between Kristianstad and Trondheim 21 hours and requires seven ferries.
With a 215 billion NOK infrastructure project the Norwegian authorities hope to be able to reduce the travel time by 50%.
One of the proposals is to construct a floating bridge under the water surface. Even today there are 35 tunnels along the Norwegian coast which goes under the water.
The floating bridge – or really tunnel – that is planned will consist of two 1.2 km long tubes of cement to be placed between 15 and 30 meters below the surface. These are kept buoyed by pontoons and could also be attached to the bottom of the fjord.
This is an exiting project that can become a revolution for the bridge and tunnel industry. There are also som border issues – including Customs and security matters – to be addressed if and when the model will be used bewteen two countries.
