    Bruce was supremely focused and disciplined on becoming a musical artist, player and a songwriter. I've heard Van Zandt say another time he does not recall Bruce ever taking a non music job. I think perhaps the most dominant quality Bruce has had throughout his life is to be supremely focused on what he wanted -- a dog who would not let go of a bone. He said in a bio that when he taught himself guitar, (I wanna say starting at 14?), he'd shut himself in his room with his guitar and some 45s and work at teaching himself to play from 6 hours to as many as 10 hours per day, for days at a time.

    I'm 71 grew up with rock and always loved the rebel/question authority aspect, felt it was important for society. I have to say it breaks my heart to see Springsteen, N Young, Joni, Dylan all doing and saying exactly the opposite of what Seeger, Guthrie, and our old-timey REAL heroes would be saying now.
    WTF happened, too rich, too much pure unadulterated echo chamber, what?
    It is so obvious our media, our schools, our gov't has been completely taken over gutted from the inside, and what do we hear from our rock and rollers we have lover forever? Crickets or even worse.
    Thankfully we have Sound of Freedom and Jason Aldean; but I guess bruce et al are busy counting their millions.

      how I see it. # I don't know, care, etc, anything about
      Jason, other than he is Country, todays Country , which
      was take over/coopted by pop, a several years ago.
      Jason's new song; 'Try that...' is a good song, a great song,
      and political on top, which is a rare combination,
      a song that actually works.
      Again, a good/great song.
      NONE of our heroes from the 80's, following the era,
      are / were
      able to write anything that measured up to their old
      level of writing, NONE...
      ZZ Top, came out with something
      recently , last year or two, it isn't even close to what Gibons
      was writing in the 70's 80's ... once again, it seems that
      NO ONE today can write anything really worthwhile compared
      to the music they gave us in the 80's ~. Lost City of Atlantis,
      like their soles were taken from them lol.
