Never focused much on Springsteen; considered him just another rocker. But, this interview changed how I see him. He's thoughtful, introspective and humble, with the self reflection to realize he's not sure of everything. Those are qualities I admire.

Hearing Bruce speak so candidly about his personal feelings just humanizes him all the more and this why he is dearly admired and loved as a musician and a person.
Grew up with him in Jersey, went to 5 of his concerts.. played for 3+ hours, was always on a high and energetic feeling after shows....love The Boss!!😊
Warren Zevon said that one of the greatest things about Springsteen, is that , and I paraphrase, he is exactly who you think he is. I like that. Certainly seems so, in this interview.
I agree that Bruce Springsteen sounds like such a sensible humble and extremely talented man...My Gosh, I love this man. Thank you Bruce Springsteen for all your gifts! Love to you Mr. Springsteen..such a huge fan of yours! L Burke.
He is an extremely thoughtful, articulate and well spoken man. After reading his autobiography, Born to Run, I have so much respect for Mr. Springsteen. The Boss, indeed.
@@dhostelbenoit5672 Great man! 33 of the best evenings of my life(1980-2013). I wonder if he will vote for Trump next year? 7 million good jobs. Rebirth of manufacturing 100% due to the President and his policies.

Bruce is a typical liberal idiot. Singin songs bout the workin man while supporting lying corrupt Hillary. Where was Bruce when Hildebeast was subverting Bernie’s campaign? Probably checking his bee hive farm / tax shelter.
Couldn't agree more, this interview showed that he cares more about his fellow Americans than any self centred, self important, self serving politician. If Bruce ever runs for office, I bet he could right a few of the wrongs that have befallen the U.S. in recent times. Simply because he cares.
Paul D He’s a musician not a politician, and didn’t say word one about running anything. And how many real musicians have you ever met? There’s a reason his shows sell out and tickets for his Broadway gig are impossible to get. Your anger and envy are showing, friend.
what a positively lovely man he is....he is a real gift to us.....his music contributes so much to our lives....i am sorry he has depression...i also have it..his music makes me get up and dance and that has always lifted my spirits...thank you bruce springsteen for all you are and for all you have given us and are still giving...
I used to love listening to Bruce Springsteen as a boy back in the 1980s. Among my favourite songs were *"Born in the USA",* *"Glory Days",* *"Streets of Philadelphia".*
Just went to my first Bruce Springsteen concert last sunday in Landgraaf .... Loved it from start to end, it was magic, moved me big time. Yesterday on the porch we viewed the concert from Bruce in Barcelona... Took me back to last week..... Please come back to the Netherlands soon! I will certanly try to get tickets again!
Bruce speaks the truth. I love his music and have grown with him. His music has some deep meaning, and brings back so many memories when I listen to each song. Keep rockin Bruce we love your music.
Agreed...Springsteen clearly has a grasp of what life is like for the everyday man & woman. He also gives back. How many other bands/artists give you a FOUR HOUR show, night after night? Keep on rockin' Boss!!
Bruce Springsteen is a genius but not working class. He is a rich, rich, man. Trump represents the working class in his political agenda. Bruce sees this.

Sandi he was able to write some nice songs and had great live show. His politics bely his naïveté and lack of real world experience. He doesn’t know economics for one.
I read Dylan's autobiography and he got the nobel prize and patti smith's performance was so human and wonderful; Springsteen's bio was just as poetic; my dad, born in 1908 loved him, which was great for me and my sis; there are so many parallels between him and Tom Petty who I never thought would predecease him and didn't always speak out politically but made it very plain in his music what he thought of the vanishing of America. So I'm so glad for this interview -- loved the Kennedy Centre Honours; great moment.
Bruce, I have got to say,I would love to buy you a jack or a beer and have a talk,but you are a great man,my type of man.GOD BLESS YOU,BRUCE.Your fantastic.love from Glasgow,Scotland.Come see us bruce.
he's the reason why i started playing instruments and being interested in poetry, i would have never thought that a boss would bring me so much joy THANKS

I've always loved Bruce and his music but I really respect him for being open and honest about his struggle with depression. If anyone faces the same struggle, especially men in this case, then Bruce is a pretty good comrade. Much respect.
Hi Bruce, I'm a Jersey "girl" living in Florida now. I have always loved your music, and miss Jersey terribly. I met my husband at NAD Earl in Colts Neck. He was a Marine who had just returned from Viet Nam when we met. We dated, got engaged and married a year and a half later. My life is influenced by the music of the music of Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band, and I miss those days back in the late 60's and 70's terribly. I wish I never left Jersey, but can't afford to go back there. I'm so lonely and still don't feel like Florida is "home". My 3 sons are here, and are married and have children here in Florida .I still have more family in NJ and miss them terribly. I wish I could travel back and forth, but it's not financial possible for me since I live on Social Security only, which the GOP is planning on "sunsetting" within five years. I really wanted to tell you how much your music means to me. It makes me homesick though, because I feel NJ is still my home. I'm happy that you are not in favor in Trump being president, and I agree with you and Steven Van Zandt. I pray to God that Biden wins the 2024 electric because I truly believe that he will destroy our democracy and everything will be chaotic! I hope to hear all of your family, Steven Van Zandt and the E Street Band, and everyone you know, will speak up and maybe do a concert that will help Biden win. I think it will help people see, and understand that Biden is the best candidate for president. We really need you, and others in the music industry to speak out, because you are so influential and loved by millions of people. People such as yourself, have millions of people who believe in you. Otherwise, our Democracy will become an Autocracy! Please, will you use you powerful influence and get Steven Van Zant to help our democracy stay in place. I'd hate to think what will happen to our wonderful country if Trump gets back into the Whitehouse, for a second term. I'm having panic attacks, deep concern, and sleepless nights, just thinking about it. I'm very worried about our county. Please Bruce, use your influence, because I know you have a great following and along with Steven Van Zant, I know you can prevent this horrific man from taking the presidency again! Please, I beg you to have a campaign to make people aware of exactly what the GOP is planning on doing! I pray that God helps us all!
I am very happy to have read all these positive opinions about Bruce. I really respect this man for being there. I respect his views, his mastery of writing his songs which give me so much. Price, him for the courage to speak about your problem. It gives hope to many people. Thank you Mr. Springsteen, you are great. Live in health as long as possible. May God protect you.
I admire Bruce Springsteen very much. In addition to his being such an impressive musician, I think that he's a kind, gracious and articulate man. Cheers.
As can be seen from the interview above he’s a globalists puppet and since started pushing the experimental jabs for them. Trump is on the peoples side but too many are brainwashed by the media to figure it out.
Když Bruce na konci rozhovoru říká, že chce lidem dát něco na co snad nikdy nezapomenou, moc ráda bych mu vzkázala, že se mu to v mém případě daří na tisíce procent. A, že zbožňuji nejen jeho úžasnou hudbu, texty a vystoupení, ale právě i ten skvělý pocit, který mi dává, že se celý rozdá pro mě a všechny své obdivovatele. Proto ho miluji a moc, moc, moc mu děkuji 🥰 Zdenka Praha
No, i bet Springsteen would prefere to have a professional doing the job, rather than doing it himself. Also he wouldn`t have time for concerts anymore, that would suck. Dump Trump in 2020? yes, please. Choose Bruce? please don`t waste your voice with an invalid vote!

This man without realizn made me a success in life...I used to study hard because of songs such as Trapped..Tougher than the Rest...No retreat No Surrender..his songs alongside the Bible have always made me overcome personal tribulations...Songs and God can do a lot to our wellbeing....God loves beautiful songs...God bless u...u have touched millions
I remember first knowing who Bruce was when I was 10 years old. I just turned 50, and I still love his music, but now I love the man behind it all. So sweet, smart, humble….I just love him🥹🎸🎶💙
Provided the question is "name a narcissistic psychopath who is running for president". Or another, "name the most unqualified person to run for president in American history".
Born in The USA Tour, at the Pacific Colloseum, Vancouver BC in 1984. It was a spiritual awakening for me. I have seen Bruce 4 times. EVERY Concert was great, but that first one was the best concert I have ever witnessed, bar NONE!
I was amazed at this interview and i knew a little about Bruce and the songs he sang about America. He seemed democratic with his views about the politics and was for the workers of America.I spent some time this month traveling through New Jersey and experienced what it must have been like growing up there for him.Many of the songs were based about his life,"Born to run,Rosalita,Glory Days" so many more for this true american.He also identified with those in need."Streets of Philadelphia".TY
He gets asked a question, and he is entitled to his opinion like anybody else. Freedom of Speech also applies to artists and public figures. If you want to stick to his music, stick to his music. You don't have to listen to him talk politics.
He is a thinker, and having read his autobiography 'Born To Run' he is also a very good writer. It's a very interesting and honest account of his life to date.
Yes, I was super amazed and super impressed by the book but I was not surprised that it was so good. Given how great a songwriter Bruce is it seems obvious that he's great writer. I love how philosophical he is at times in the book. Very intelligent autobiography, the best one I've read
Bruce Springsteen is amazing. He's basically pointing out that if we don't talk about the issues, about the things that have affected us and mean the most to us, then we never talk about them.
BRUCE I LOVE YOUR SONGS. THEY REMIND ME OF THE WONDERFUL MEMORIES THAT I ONCE HAD! AND YOU BRUCE ARE ONE OF THE BEST SINGER AND BELIEVE ME THERE COULD ONLY BE ONE BRUCE SPRINGSTEEN HANDS DOWN XOXO
Bruce's politics suck-as do most of our Rock-n-Roll heroes. They live in the Hollywood/media bubble and think they are still cutting edge and represent the working class. He made great music but that was long ago and far away in a different time.
One of the best Interviews EVER with Bruce Thankyou to both of you so at ease Questions great as well as answer's made me feel as I was listening to the Real Bruce if you know what I mean WONDERFUL Love Annie from The Gold Coast Queensland The Land Down Under AUSTRALIA 🇦🇺 baci x
This was one of the best interviews with Bruce that I have ever seen. Great questions. So many interviewers have no idea who Bruce is and what to ask him beyond surface level stuff. This interviewer knew his stuff and asked fantastic questions.
My Boss, u will be in my heart 4ever. Great interview. Brilliant story-teller,handsome,great voice,has a way with lyrics,his own style,charm.... u r very smart,intelligent,always thinkin about others. U deserve everythin that u got now. And the moniker,The Boss,too. Kisses,Ester. :-)
It’s about Bruce’s perspective. Much of his lyrics are expressions of his political beliefs and reflections on social issues in America. Bruce speaks truth about Trump in the election year. Trump did zero for the working person.
Didn't know he was such a thinker ??? come on do you know the amount of Songs Bruce has wrote. Now as a writer myself (not a very good one) im always thinking about ideas. Im not sure how much Sleep Bruce gets. As for his music Start with his first album Greeting From Asbury Park-1973 and go forward. His 70's albums are the best.
Rocky B people that don't know Bruce writes hours upon hours into the late night are not real fans and he's been doing it since he was 16 years old!!! A true musical genius and generous caring humanitarian .! him and the great James Gandolfini did a lot of great work together trying to help less fortunate around the world !!
thinker? hes an absolute idiot, and demonstrated such. He should stick to turning down his guitar real low on stage while pretending to know how to play it.
I’m reading his autobiography right now, it’s really a big book. It’s very introspective. I was sitting in the doctors office reading the part he wrote after his dad passed and I was sitting there crying. It was so moving
I can only say, I worked in Freehold NJ for many years, I knew some of Bruce's old school chums, I knew his first drummer, who's leg got messed up in Vietnam, and for the most part he is THE Home Town Hero....and he earned it !!!!
Yes, you would think that he is rich enough to make his concerts more accessible to poorer people... I would love to go and see him (I'm British), but I cannot possibly afford it! :-(
There's a documentary. Springsteen and I. It's fans talking about their experiences and how Bruce has gotten them through tough times and stuff like that. There's a couple from England. They got tickets. Nosebleed section. A guy comes up to them. Asks to see their stubs. He rips them up and says "we can do better than that". Gives them some wrist bands and tells them to go further down. They keep going. They get lost. People help them out, tell them "no, you need to keep going". They end up front row. The guy who gave them the bands worked for the Boss
First saw Springsteen on the River tour. It was the best concert I have ever witnessed. At the time, I thought it was the greatest LP of all time. It told of a reality I could relate to. I also learned the power of music to reach into the souls of men. It felt like a religious experience. But since then I have learned the difference between live entertainment and true spirituality. Be that as it may. I have since learned that one should never be fooled into thinking that expertise in one field or in the Boss’ case, talent, no matter how great, carries any weight when transferred into another field of thought. His ability to entertain and unite an audience within the blue collar, almost mythological american dream/nightmare, is truly remarkable. I find it interesting that the 2008 bailout angered him. Because while it was a Republican president who signed the bill, it was the Democratic controlled congress that passed the bill. “We are democrats because they are for the people”. That’s what I used to think. I find it interesting that the only thing that the interviewer could bring up about Trump was “the locker talk”. The idea that Trump only courted the forgotten blue collar man (from whom Springsteen struck pay dirt) for ill intentions, is sad indeed. The problem with promises is that you must give the promiser a chance or the benefit of the doubt to see if he can deliver what was promised. You can be sure that if you go to a Bruce Springsteen concert, he will deliver the goods. Clearly, the midwest had lost its faith in the Democratic promises of the Kennedy era. “Ask not what your country can do for you, but what you can do for your country!” The new promise of the Democrats became, FORGET YOU! ask not what your country can do for you, but what your country can do for the Global village. Why not take a chance with Trump? “He’s not going to be president”. “Hillary will make a good president”. Well, we will see after the 2020 election cycle is in the history books if those forgotten blue collar folks in any town USA agree with the Boss. Because they did not agree with him in the 2016 cycle. The Boss is one of the best in his field of expertise, and he is entitled to his opinion. He was Born in the USA! Praise be to God!
We're all proud to be born in the USA and so pleased to still have Bruce around making great music. And man, he certainly pegged Trump for exactly what he is - a flagrant, toxic narcissist with no sense of decency and responsibility that most of us have learned to despise.
If only his prediction (and so many of ours) had come true. Thank God for people like Springsteen who make "morals" right. We need more people like Bruce, now more than ever.
“E Street” is more than band name or slogan. For me it can be a concept or understanding only someone who can relate to this man and his songs would care about. “E Street” is about home and family and country and experience and DNA. “E Street” is universal. It is everything that truly matters.
It's distasteful to interview genuinely nice people like Bruce Springsteen, and ask negative questions about his father and his relationship with his father, and his depression. Of the millions of better, smarter questions he could have been asking. Poor interviewer !
Respectfully, I do think the growing problem of depression - AND the sad fact that it is so often passed from father to son - is something that should be talked about. People like Bruce can do a lot to help eliminate the stigma associated with depression.
I think he deserves to be challenged and I think this interviewer wasn't a typical "fan boy" interviewer. Bruce handled it well. I'm a Trump fan. And a Bruce fan.
Tim what do you see good in trump ? I Can tell you what I see good in Obama. But I can’t see anything good about trump His whole life has been privilege At least democrats fight for working people Trump is a spoil brat who had it all handed to him. Everything said about Hillary have been debunked It was more of a grudge republicans held and still hold against her it’s sickening. Not only the attacks on her but Obama with infantile nick names Conspiracy theory Idk It’s good vs evil decency vs shame
Brian William Trump shares my views on illegal immigration, globalism, trade, individual responsibility., Israel, socialism and I like his sense of humour and political incorrectness.
More than a year an a half ago but Bruce had Trump figured out for a con man. From the cold, hard,working class, ex industrial,north of England, sendin' love to The Boss. Saw them twice, last at Roundhay park in Leeds, Clal was on form,whole band buzzing and a stand out 3 hours is still etched on my brain. Thanks Bruce.
For the working class voter, Donald Trump has an element of wish fulfillment for them. He's no smarter or intellectually sophisticated than the average American, and he's rich. But for the lack of a billionaire father there goes me. Trump plays that up. I disagree about musicians having influence. Steve Van Zant made a huge difference in raising awareness about apartheid in South Africa.
Never focused much on Springsteen; considered him just another rocker. But, this interview changed how I see him. He's thoughtful, introspective and humble, with the self reflection to realize he's not sure of everything. Those are qualities I admire.
ok
I like him too, but he was quite sure of the election results. And he was WRONG!

I pray to God that Biden wins the 2024 electric because I truly believe that he will destroy our democracy and everything will be chaotic! I hope to hear all of your family, Steven Van Zandt and the E Street Band, and everyone you know, will speak up and maybe do a concert that will help Biden win. I think it will help people see, and understand that Biden is the best candidate for president.
We really need you, and others in the music industry to speak out, because you are so influential and loved by millions of people.
People such as yourself, have millions of people who believe in you. Otherwise, our Democracy will become an Autocracy! Please, will you use you powerful influence and get Steven Van Zant to help our democracy stay in place. I'd hate to think what will happen to our wonderful country if Trump gets back into the Whitehouse, for a second term.
I'm having panic attacks, deep concern, and sleepless nights, just thinking about it. I'm very worried about our county.
Please Bruce, use your influence, because I know you have a great following and along with Steven Van Zant, I know you can prevent this horrific man from taking the presidency again! Please, I beg you to have a campaign to make people aware of exactly what the GOP is planning on doing!
I pray that God helps us all!
I am so proud of Springsteen, he is an upright person & a great role model. ✨❤️✨😎✨
I am very happy to have read all these positive opinions about Bruce. I really respect this man for being there. I respect his views, his mastery of writing his songs which give me so much. Price, him for the courage to speak about your problem. It gives hope to many people. Thank you Mr. Springsteen, you are great. Live in health as long as possible. May God protect you.
I admire Bruce Springsteen very much. In addition to his being such an impressive musician, I think that he's a kind, gracious and articulate man. Cheers.
Yes love you bruce mucho
As can be seen from the interview above he’s a globalists puppet and since started pushing the experimental jabs for them. Trump is on the peoples side but too many are brainwashed by the media to figure it out.
Když Bruce na konci rozhovoru říká, že chce lidem dát něco na co snad nikdy nezapomenou, moc ráda bych mu vzkázala, že se mu to v mém případě daří na tisíce procent. A, že zbožňuji nejen jeho úžasnou hudbu, texty a vystoupení, ale právě i ten skvělý pocit, který mi dává, že se celý rozdá pro mě a všechny své obdivovatele. Proto ho miluji a moc, moc, moc mu děkuji 🥰 Zdenka Praha
Springsteen 2020! Let's hear it!
Hunter Miller it’s never too late. If Bruce was 100 I’d vote for him
Trump 2020 I'm for Trump
No, i bet Springsteen would prefere to have a professional doing the job, rather than doing it himself. Also he wouldn`t have time for concerts anymore, that would suck. Dump Trump in 2020? yes, please. Choose Bruce? please don`t waste your voice with an invalid vote!
@@kajagoogoo9613 maybe but he’s the best rock artist
@@tammykennett5243 Biden 2020
Lovely, humble thoughtful man.
Boss u pravom smislu, kralj, legenda.
Bruce seems very weary in this interview. I can identify with that.
This man without realizn made me a success in life...I used to study hard because of songs such as Trapped..Tougher than the Rest...No retreat No Surrender..his songs alongside the Bible have always made me overcome personal tribulations...Songs and God can do a lot to our wellbeing....God loves beautiful songs...God bless u...u have touched millions
I remember first knowing who Bruce was when I was 10 years old. I just turned 50, and I still love his music, but now I love the man behind it all. So sweet, smart, humble….I just love him🥹🎸🎶💙
Trump is the only answer.
To a narcissitic, lazy, delusional society circling the drain of history. You may be right.
Provided the question is "name a narcissistic psychopath who is running for president". Or another, "name the most unqualified person to run for president in American history".
Trump is the only one who will drain the Washington swamp and Make America Great Again
Donald Trump: Make America GAY Again
@losiluminados If Trump is the answer then you're clearly asking the wrong question.
You haven't changed and your values haven't changed. Remarkable, I wish more people were like you!
Born in The USA Tour, at the Pacific Colloseum, Vancouver BC in 1984. It was a spiritual awakening for me. I have seen Bruce 4 times. EVERY Concert was great, but that first one was the best concert I have ever witnessed, bar NONE!
My only Bruce Springsteen Concert was 4th July at Wembley stadium, the original one. It was an unbelievable experience, absolutely wonderful!
I was amazed at this interview and i knew a little about Bruce and the songs he sang about America.
He seemed democratic with his views about the politics and was for the workers of America.I spent some
time this month traveling through New Jersey and experienced what it must have been like growing
up there for him.Many of the songs were based about his life,"Born to run,Rosalita,Glory Days" so many
more for this true american.He also identified with those in need."Streets of Philadelphia".TY
Found his music in the early eighties. Love it ever since. Cant wait for next tour.
Their is no need for politics, just beautiful sounding music
He gets asked a question, and he is entitled to his opinion like anybody else. Freedom of Speech also applies to artists and public figures. If you want to stick to his music, stick to his music. You don't have to listen to him talk politics.
He is a thinker, and having read his autobiography 'Born To Run' he is also a very good writer. It's a very interesting and honest account of his life to date.
The book is extremely well written.
Yes, I was super amazed and super impressed by the book but I was not surprised that it was so good. Given how great a songwriter Bruce is it seems obvious that he's great writer. I love how philosophical he is at times in the book. Very intelligent autobiography, the best one I've read
He is the American rock star icon
Bruce Springsteen is amazing. He's basically pointing out that if we don't talk about the issues, about the things that have affected us and mean the most to us, then we never talk about them.
As someone who has delt with depression on my own music including yours have allowed me to deal with it .Thank you Bruce and all musicians.
Here’s a lesson, Bruce Springsteen works for himself and he’s very successful. Do the same and don’t work for others
Lol
BRUCE I LOVE YOUR SONGS. THEY REMIND ME OF THE WONDERFUL MEMORIES THAT I ONCE HAD! AND YOU BRUCE ARE ONE OF THE BEST SINGER AND BELIEVE ME THERE COULD ONLY BE ONE BRUCE SPRINGSTEEN HANDS DOWN XOXO
Bruce sucks.
Bruce's politics suck-as do most of our Rock-n-Roll heroes. They live in the Hollywood/media bubble and think they are still cutting edge and represent the working class. He made great music but that was long ago and far away in a different time.
He is such a down to earth person....would love to see one of his shows
One of the best Interviews EVER with Bruce Thankyou to both of you so at ease Questions great as well as answer's made me feel as I was listening to the Real Bruce if you know what I mean WONDERFUL Love Annie from The Gold Coast Queensland The Land Down Under AUSTRALIA 🇦🇺 baci x
This was one of the best interviews with Bruce that I have ever seen. Great questions. So many interviewers have no idea who Bruce is and what to ask him beyond surface level stuff. This interviewer knew his stuff and asked fantastic questions.
Arguably the most intelligent interview I’ve seen with any rock star.
ohyeah, try this one ruclips.net/video/Jkl4Yeh-BTo/видео.html
He's amazing. I can tell who he is and he's real.
I love you so much Bruce. Listen to your songs most days .....keeps me in a happy mood. Waiting for you to come to Australia next year.
You can only love Bruce 🤘🤘🤘
Prez Chump -- take note! This is a Man and a human being...
Would love to hear him on Trump now...
My Boss, u will be in my heart 4ever. Great interview. Brilliant story-teller,handsome,great voice,has a way with lyrics,his own style,charm.... u r very smart,intelligent,always thinkin about others. U deserve everythin that u got now. And the moniker,The Boss,too. Kisses,Ester. :-)
springsteen is a good man
the REAL men who served in Vietnam are good and real
Incredible man. Thank you so much for decades of incredibly thoughtful lyrics and music. Just awesomely inspiring.
Alan Wendy strap your hands across my engine? Bruce lyrics are about as thoughtful as a bag of lugnuts.
☘️Northern Irish here🍀
one quarter Irish here...the 3 quarters keeps the one quarter out of the bars
Is this interview about Bruce or trump?
It’s about Bruce’s perspective. Much of his lyrics are expressions of his political beliefs and reflections on social issues in America. Bruce speaks truth about Trump in the election year. Trump did zero for the working person.
What a normal guy. Makes me wanna listen to his music even more.
Happy Birthday Bruce! Sept 23rd.
Hope you're feeling better.
I'm in love with this man because he's a good-hearted man.
Love Springsteen’s laugh! Contagious
Incredibly impressed. I didn't know the man was such a thinker. Would have liked more intelligence from the interviewer though.
You should really check out his music if you're surprised and impressed that he's a thinker.
Yes I think you're right. Thanks for the suggestion.
Didn't know he was such a thinker ??? come on do you know the amount of Songs Bruce has wrote. Now as a writer myself (not a very good one) im always thinking about ideas. Im not sure how much Sleep Bruce gets. As for his music Start with his first album Greeting From Asbury Park-1973 and go forward. His 70's albums are the best.
Rocky B people that don't know Bruce writes hours upon hours into the late night are not real fans and he's been doing it since he was 16 years old!!! A true musical genius and generous caring humanitarian .! him and the great James Gandolfini did a lot of great work together trying to help less fortunate around the world !!
thinker? hes an absolute idiot, and demonstrated such. He should stick to turning down his guitar real low on stage while pretending to know how to play it.
I’m reading his autobiography right now, it’s really a big book. It’s very introspective. I was sitting in the doctors office reading the part he wrote after his dad passed and I was sitting there crying. It was so moving
Reading it now too. Loving it.
The audio book is even better. With Bruce narrating it’s even more poignant.
I can only say, I worked in Freehold NJ for many years, I knew some of Bruce's old school chums, I knew his first drummer, who's leg got messed up in Vietnam, and for the most part he is THE Home Town Hero....and he earned it !!!!
Those who can't criticize their country or realize that things can always be improved is playing a dangerous game.
Has anyone seen Bruce and Robert De Niro in a room together?
I'm seeing quite a resemblance these days.
Anyway....good interview!
Rick R His voice and mannerisms are very similar as well.
Apparently De Niro got the "You talkin' to me?" line in Taxi Driver from a Springsteen concert
I don't agree with him as far as politics but I enjoy his music.
@S S I LOVE his song Streets of Philadelphia (which also was where my mother grew up) but only idiots agree with his political views
Freddie McDonald
So all those patriots who don’t support Trump are idiots?
Mikey C23
Should I vote for Trump? If so, why?
I totally agree with his politics...he's a smart man.....take heed my friend
I think he’s stupid for Endorsing Kamala Harris! He Just Bud Lighted Himself! 😂 time to make fun of him!
Wish the tickets were blue collar prices !
Yes, you would think that he is rich enough to make his concerts more accessible to poorer people... I would love to go and see him (I'm British), but I cannot possibly afford it! :-(
@@carrieboultby7516 artists rarely have any control over tickets for concerts
I think its the company that organises the tour that sets the prices
There's a documentary. Springsteen and I. It's fans talking about their experiences and how Bruce has gotten them through tough times and stuff like that. There's a couple from England. They got tickets. Nosebleed section. A guy comes up to them. Asks to see their stubs. He rips them up and says "we can do better than that". Gives them some wrist bands and tells them to go further down. They keep going. They get lost. People help them out, tell them "no, you need to keep going". They end up front row. The guy who gave them the bands worked for the Boss
They still are, try to find a U2 or Rolling Stones concert for the same price
First saw Springsteen on the River tour. It was the best concert I have ever witnessed. At the time, I thought it was the greatest LP of all time. It told of a reality I could relate to. I also learned the power of music to reach into the souls of men. It felt like a religious experience. But since then I have learned the difference between live entertainment and true spirituality.
Be that as it may. I have since learned that one should never be fooled into thinking that expertise in one field or in the Boss’ case, talent, no matter how great, carries any weight when transferred into another field of thought. His ability to entertain and unite an audience within the blue collar, almost mythological american dream/nightmare, is truly remarkable.
I find it interesting that the 2008 bailout angered him. Because while it was a Republican president who signed the bill, it was the Democratic controlled congress that passed the bill. “We are democrats because they are for the people”. That’s what I used to think. I find it interesting that the only thing that the interviewer could bring up about Trump was “the locker talk”. The idea that Trump only courted the forgotten blue collar man (from whom Springsteen struck pay dirt) for ill intentions, is sad indeed. The problem with promises is that you must give the promiser a chance or the benefit of the doubt to see if he can deliver what was promised. You can be sure that if you go to a Bruce Springsteen concert, he will deliver the goods. Clearly, the midwest had lost its faith in the Democratic promises of the Kennedy era. “Ask not what your country can do for you, but what you can do for your country!” The new promise of the Democrats became, FORGET YOU! ask not what your country can do for you, but what your country can do for the Global village. Why not take a chance with Trump?
“He’s not going to be president”. “Hillary will make a good president”. Well, we will see after the 2020 election cycle is in the history books if those forgotten blue collar folks in any town USA agree with the Boss. Because they did not agree with him in the 2016 cycle. The Boss is one of the best in his field of expertise, and he is entitled to his opinion. He was Born in the USA! Praise be to God!
Love you, feel the happiness and peaceful at the same time. You are a good man. ❤️❤️🌹🌹🌹
The Boss ❤
Excellent interview.
We're all proud to be born in the USA and so pleased to still have Bruce around making great music. And man, he certainly pegged Trump for exactly what he is - a flagrant, toxic narcissist with no sense of decency and responsibility that most of us have learned to despise.
So well said!! 👍🏼
go back to preschool
Still your President. Get over it :). #Trump2020.
How’s Biden working for you? Trump maybe narcissistic, but he kept every promise made.
@@shelleyobrien8180 you are sooooo delusional!
An excellent interviewer, I really like him and his personality and style.
The Boss is Right! as usual.You are humble and real! Keep on going Bruce!God bless you and your family!Annemiek.
Love Bruce since the 80s. He was so wrong about the elections.
His TDS killed his critical thinking capabilities! He’s just Bud Lighted Himself by Endorsing Kamala & Timpon!😂
If only his prediction (and so many of ours) had come true. Thank God for people like Springsteen who make "morals" right. We need more people like Bruce, now more than ever.
he was wrong, but only by 4 years, lol, Trump lost in 2020 and blamed "rigged election" which was absolutely not true.
Wasn't it Hilary that did not go quietly into the quiet of the night and create the biggest mess she could? Sorry Boss.
Oh Bruce, I wish you had been right about Trump loosing.
“E Street” is more than band name or slogan. For me it can be a concept or understanding only someone who can relate to this man and his songs would care about. “E Street” is about home and family and country and experience and DNA. “E Street” is universal. It is everything that truly matters.
The street was named because all the band members lived on E St. in Asbury, New Jersey
It's distasteful to interview genuinely nice people like Bruce Springsteen, and ask negative questions about his father and his relationship with his father, and his depression. Of the millions of better, smarter questions he could have been asking. Poor interviewer !
Respectfully, I do think the growing problem of depression - AND the sad fact that it is so often passed from father to son - is something that should be talked about. People like Bruce can do a lot to help eliminate the stigma associated with depression.
Bruce really deserves a better interviewer than this guy.
I think he deserves to be challenged and I think this interviewer wasn't a typical "fan boy" interviewer. Bruce handled it well. I'm a Trump fan. And a Bruce fan.
Tim what do you see good in trump ? I
Can tell you what I see good in Obama. But I can’t see anything good about trump
His whole life has been privilege
At least democrats fight for working people
Trump is a spoil brat who had it all handed to him. Everything said about Hillary have been debunked
It was more of a grudge republicans held and still hold against her it’s sickening.
Not only the attacks on her but Obama with infantile nick names
Conspiracy theory
Idk
It’s good vs evil decency vs shame
Brian William Trump shares my views on illegal immigration, globalism, trade, individual responsibility., Israel, socialism and I like his sense of humour and political incorrectness.
More than a year an a half ago but Bruce had Trump figured out for a con man. From the cold, hard,working class, ex industrial,north of England, sendin' love to The Boss. Saw them twice, last at Roundhay park in Leeds, Clal was on form,whole band buzzing and a stand out 3 hours is still etched on my brain. Thanks Bruce.
Wise replies from a great humble human being.
What a smart man Bruce Springsteen is. His political insight has been proven 100%, and his immense love for the American people is obvious.
That didn’t play out well, He just Bud Lighted Himself by Endorsing Kamala & Tampon Tim!😂
@@AdamAintWright Maybe, or maybe he prefers politics based on policies rather than childish name-calling?
For the working class voter, Donald Trump has an element of wish fulfillment for them. He's no smarter or intellectually sophisticated than the average American, and he's rich. But for the lack of a billionaire father there goes me. Trump plays that up.
I disagree about musicians having influence. Steve Van Zant made a huge difference in raising awareness about apartheid in South Africa.
