“Dancing in the dark” described how I felt as a teen perfectly. It’s not just another song. There’s so much depth to it, it would bring me to tears at times, still remember those years. He’s a true poet.
Man, I love that song.
oh yep definitely
I was 40 and I felt it, too.
That's me now I'm a teen this song is close to my heart
I am from Italy and I did not know English when I have started listening to Bruce Springsteen.... 5 days ago, many years later, I saw him in concert in Ferrara. I cried when he sang Dancing in the dark.. All my life went by and I felt a teen again. The all band was amazing and him at 73 what a legend ❤
Bruce is an American treasure. I could sit and listen to him play and talk for hours.
I'd be honored if some Springsteen fans would take a quick listen to my acoustic piano & vocal performance of DANCING IN THE DARK on my YT channel in tribute to the United States of America and our next President, Joseph R. Biden. Peace and everybody stay safe.
Totally agree! American treasure for sure.
Absolutely.
Something like this :-) A treasure he sure is!!!

GOD
This has to be one of the better interviews Jimmy has conducted. You can tell he admires Bruce tremendously because, unlike other interviews, he didn't interrupt him nearly as much as he tends to. He let him talk and was just sitting there like all of us, in awe of the Boss.
He’s a little less nervous here, than when he was playing the spoons.
Exactly
I find myself drowning in to his words… a wonderful, kind, generous, intelligent, companionate and talented man… every person on the planet should feel gratitude that they have had the chance to hear Bruce Springsteen and his music and lyrics. Thoughtful. Kindness. Generosity. Compassion. A very impressive human being.
This record hit me hard. I’ve been listening to Bruce for 40 yrs, pretty much everyday. Seen him live 50+ times. He’s never disappointed me.
what a great fan. i haven't listened or watched anything new in a long time. your statement has sold me to look and return.
@@daviddinkins8931 the new one is great..."Magic" is one of his best recent albums, I think.
Wow! That's beautiful.. I have a few of his albums and don't have an opportunity to see him live.. I envy the tenacity of people who are real *fans*
I think this is his best album, in my own personal opinion. It has parts and pieces and that could fit in and/or sound like parts and pieces from his other albums.
That's a lot, Harris, I'm impressed. Bruce is one like I have never seen before.
I can't believe he is 71 years old. He looks soooo good!
I thought he was 57 or younger!
True, I think it's his genes and diet. My mother is 75 or so and she also looks great.
his forehead looks like its botoxed.
@@mikeh.8155 A man's gotta do what a man's gotta do.
Looking good for 71 bruce 🙂
In the 1992 Rolling Stone Record Guide, the reviewer wrote about him, "with Springsteen, we are getting a chance we missed with Elvis - to watch a great American rocker grow old with grace." He sure has done that.
Heck yeah! As far as I’m concerned, Bruce picked up where Elvis left off. I’m only 29. I hear you! Listen to the album The Promise, if you haven’t...it’s the most Elvis outta Springsteen. Especially the song “Fire” because Bruce wrote it originally for Elvis. Elvis died before he could get a chance to do anything with it.
Tom Locke RS: WHO YOU CALLING "OLD"?!!
Springsteen couldn't hold Elvis's Jock Strap !
@@avantill who could?
@@avantill Elvis had talent, but at least Springsteen didn’t have his looks to rely on like Elvis did.
Bruce has never looked better!!
I'd be honored if some Springsteen fans would take a quick listen to my acoustic piano & vocal cover performance of DANCING IN THE DARK on my YT channel in tribute to the United States of America and our next President, Joseph R. Biden. Peace and everybody stay safe.
@@utejunker8115 Uncredibal
I think he did back in 1975. But thats it 🎅
I know. What an asshole. >:(
@@willritter4076 Wish his hair was a bit longer. Nice face though.
Bruce is - without overstating it - a gift to all of us. An artist who has created at an intimate, passionate, personal and “connected” level for almost fucking 50 years! Amazing and honest! A gift!
I could listen to this man for ever - his speaking voice is as enthralling as his singing voice.
O romantismo baila nos corações.
He’s one of the rare musicians who makes great music his entire career. He’s an artist’s artist. Go back through his discography and the quality never dips. I highly recommend people listen to his last 2 albums/documentaries. He’s still got it
Blessed to have been in his generation. A great artist and a gift to humanity
Bruce looks terrific and Letter to You ROCKS!
Imo Letters To You is the best album since The Rising, might be better.
A true legend in his own time. The best storyteller and musician of our time.
He'd probably argue that one, since one of his biggest influences was Bob Dylan...
There are many others who have done far more for this country than he has...including other musicians.
I also think there are many musicians who are far better story tellers. Montgomery Gentry, Alan Jackson, Brad Paisley, even Nickelback. Not a huge Nickelback fan, but they definitely know how to tell a story through their music.
@@PamelaDrake215 Thank You !
A great example of that is Nebraska. A masterpiece.
@@moriyarose3587 None of those even come close. You obviously have not listened to Bruce much. Painfully obvious.
There are only two types of people: those who love Bruce and those that don’t know him yet.
I pity people who don't know his music
I guess I don’t know him cause I like born in the USA and every thing after that is booooring just like him talking lame overrated artist
EXACTLY!!!
babeminzgirlsszz.space
Pretty much
My parents raised me on Bruce and he’s such an inspiration to me and my siblings. I’m only 14 and I’ve so much respect for the boss.
Bruce I will 🌻love him forever. His music speaks to my soul.😘
I CRIED watching this last night and I told my husband, "Will we EVER be able to go to a Springsteen concert again & be right up against someone you've never even MET ?" It seems now like a hundred years ago when we had that LUXURY!!
Yes, me too, but I want to think that if Bruce and Patty have it in them, so will I.
Absolutely. How crazy the world has gone. People see each other as biological hazzardess waste.
Yes u will.we will ,don't lose heart
@@Diana-sb4yl Thank you for reminding me of that. You're so sweet! :)
Yes we will. And it will be awesome! 💞 Keep the faith. 😎
Bruce is in a good place. He seems so happy and calm. Good things come to good people. Amazing writer/singer.
He always was and will always be the man that wrote the soundtrack of my life.
He seems to have a caring heart and soul. My favorite song was “Dancing in the Dark”. It reminds me when I was a young woman who was just so bored with my life. And that song made me get up and dance. My favorite lyrics: what to change, my clothes, my face......
Love your comment, it immediately sets the mood to something I recognize from my days as a youngster ;-)
Actually he is quite paranoid and drunk.
I’m still waiting ….I want to change me…
Bruce. The Boss of Storytelling.
It’s so hard to lose loved ones and really, really hard to lose childhood friends. It’s why I love ‘Glory Days’.
Bruce knows how to connect with his fans through his own heartache and happiness.
How lucky to have Bruce be in the background of a lifetime of my memories. Thank you, Bruce and the E Street Band. I still miss Clarence. ✨👼🏾🎷✨❤️🤍💙🇺🇸
I agree this was a moving interview.
He definitely lives up His title of " The Boss! "
Looking forward to hearing this album and getting it for my children and grandchildren for Christmas.
Hopefully he'll actually cover
" Green Sleeves " with the E Street Band some day.
I certainly want to hear now, after finding out it was the first song he ever learned.
✌❤🎶🎸😎🤘
🇨🇦💃🐈
I always think of Clarence whenever I see the Boss or listen to his songs
@@FlyingElectra - Remember this?! Makes me smile for the entire song❣️
czcams.com/video/087mi1e46us/video.html
"It’s so hard to lose loved ones and really, really hard to lose childhood friends. . . ." . . . or to run into them again years later and see how far they've fallen from what they could have been. That's what "Point Blank" does for me. I grew up in a crumbling industrial town in Connecticut, exactly the kind of place Springsteen sings about. It's been quite a while since I've been back there, but I will always hear his songs as the soundtrack of that city and of the people I grew up with.
@@jazzmanchgo - You’re so right. Very tragic to see the decline of our childhood friends that could stem from many challenges in life. I’ve seen that as well. Indeed, Grosse Pointe Blank is spot-on. I adore John Cusack films. Be well...☮️💟
i swear this man never ages.
Yeahhh. You should see Me. 🤭😂
He has aged, better than some, not as good as others, that's life and genetics.
@@jenniferd.w.357 Now I love Bruce but, darling, he HAS aged. Have you not seen him at the start of his career? He’s aged, but he’s aged well; he has put in the effort to take care of himself in different ways. He never allowed the sex, drugs and rock ‘n roll mentality into the band like so many other bands have. He’s putting in the reps exercise-wise and he just may have some hardy genetics!! Good job Bruce!!
@@vangopher61 Italian blood on his mom's side--his Mom is 94 and her sisters lived into their late 80s
They don't call you "The Boss" for nothing!
Bruce you Truly a Gentleman and a Scholar.
This was a really moving interview.
I definitely want to hear you sing " Green Sleeves " with the E Street Band now.
After admitting that it was the first song you learned.
It was one of my favorite songs that we sang in the choir at the All Girls School I attended back in the 60's and 70's.
I'm really looking forward to seeing you on SNL this weekend, December 12th, 2020.
Peace, love, health and harmony be with you Bruce.
Thanks all the great music it's being part in my personal soundtrack since the beginning of your career.
You've been with me from the first time I heard "Born to Run". It Rocked my World.
I'll be buying this album to give to my children and grandchildren this Christmas.
Thanks again for all the Music Bruce.
✌❤🎶🎸😎🤘
🇨🇦💃🐈
He reads a lot, and listens to a wide variety of music, paying attention to the lyrics. In short, he LISTENS to others. I think that has a lot to do with his being a self taught scholar, he is open to listening, and learning.
A lot of his songs changed our lives. Thank you, Bruce. Keep rocking.
I just watched the documentary entitled “Western Stars.” It was a beautiful experience, I must say. I now will always think of Mr. Springsteen as a poet, and a philosopher. Please don’t miss a chance to experience this creative endeavor. It’s truly remarkable. Thank you Mr. Springsteen and the wonderful musicians that accompanied you. Bravo!
I just can't get over how rich, and lush, the MUSIC and arrangements are on that album. I just love listening to it as I walk
I had an opportunity to watch/listen to Western Stars on a plane (pre COVID). I was absolutely transported. It's a work only a person who has lived for quite a few years on the planet could compose, in my view. What I love about Mr. Springsteen's work is that he never stops growing & changing as a musician. I will always regard "Meeting Across the River" as my personal quintessential Springsteen tune, but I love that he keeps swinging the bat towards the rafters to provide a newer song to replace it as my favorite.
@@cynthiak88nashvilletn69 I feel he is a gift to the world more now than ever. I'm so glad I've been a fan for so long and he hasn't fallen into the dangers of drug use drama in the news and other celebrity catastrophes and he does just keep creating new and amazing music and projects. You can't pin this guy down his music covers all genres. If I was stuck on a deserted island his music is the only one I would need!
Western Stars touches my heart each time I watch. It fills me with nostalgia, longing and love, then finally, hope.
If you haven't listened to "The Ghost of Tom Joad", then you must. IMHO, it is Bruce the poet and philosopher at his best, getting right to the heart of the matter of what was happening at the time he created the album. He is so very good at observing what is going down, reflecting about it, then writing songs that give us insight into the situation at hand. Every song on this album is like that.
Watched "Letters to You" two days ago, still bawling like a baby. Hands down the most beautiful thing this man has done, what a denouement.
Oh Man... This Guy is able to.make you feel unexpacted feelings. No Wonder he is the Boss!❤️
This man's music was my life for decades. Thank you.
Warsaw Missouri Good Evening Jimmy And it is a honor to see you Mr. Springsteen. Absolutely Awesome 👌 👏 😎 🙌 👍 😀
I adore him. He has been my companion during my separation a continent away from home. No friends. No family. Just my child and me.
I've grown up with this man and his music... a legend. ❤️
Yes she has done this before
And a lot of things we haven't Heard about yey
His part in the song "We are the world " is what stands out in my memory.
When he plays I want to jump up and dance; when he speaks I just want to listen. I've seen Bruce at a gym I used to frequent in Long Branch, NJ - I have mucho respect for this man - he is genuine - he is humble - he is a brilliant musician.
One of the things that always made me like this guy is how genuine and humble he is....he never talks about how great he is.....just how fortunate he is!
I am on a journey to discover/re-discover Bruce... listening and enjoying the songs that i had never listened to before. Isn't he simply awesome.
I saw Bruce and the E street band in 2013 in Wales. I couldn’t get over his energy. He would put younger performers in the shade. Such a great front man.
I was there too, amazing show - I think he played for 3hrs 45min if I remember rightly!
@@yfacymdacsi That’s amazing. He’s such a legend. 👍
I have followed Bruce Springsteen for literal decades. He is always in the hear and now. What a beautiful soul! Thanks for all the great music Bruce and the E Street band. You are a one of a kind for sure!🙋♀️✌❤
interesting how different this conversation is compared to other Jimmy Fallon clips. Bruce is obviously an Idol for Jimmy, given the respectful way, he's talking to him :D
Bruce Springsteen looks marvelous!!
Franny P.
....Bruce and the boys are some of the BEST of our countrys musical cousins from back east somewhere that let us feel that vibe,...Guthrie Theatre Minneapolis 1977....thanks Boss for a life shared...
“Sad Eyes” definitely has that hopeful/sad tone to it. I love it.
jlcm90 he suffers from depression so yes it’s normal to have sad eyes and a frown
When he gets together with the E Street Band, they sound amazing. Western Stars was good, but Letter To You is like a throwback to 30 years ago, simply fantastic.
It is such a great album-Letter to You is Bruce talking straight to me. It has been a privilege to be in his era, to have seen shows since my first in '78. I so didn't know Greetings and felt I was missing something special. When he came back to Chicago on that same Darkness tour I had done my homework. Covid get gone, I need the Letter tour, we need the Letter to US.
Agree 👍
Bruce is like a fine wine, can’t believe he’s 71
clicked as soon as i saw Bruce Springsteen
Who's the Boss?
Bruce Springsteen, of course!
Of course, always and forever. He is brilliantly magnificent...!!!
Cool cool cool
I love Bruce Springsteen. To this day my favourite song is ..... Tougher Than The Rest. 💙🇨🇦
Mine too! The song always speaks to me…till date
As I listen to Bruce talk about 1965-68; his story made me think about my favourite classic black &white movie, called “Penny Serenade” -thank you for evoking that memory.
Barak Obama once said to Bruce: I might be the President but you will always be the boss
He said that to me, too.
Yes, he did. Have a snap of that ! Two guys I layed it down for.
Wow. That is so impressive.
well I would agree
Did you know that Bruce HATES being called the boss? Hates it.
I could listen to Bruce's stories forever
👍🏾
👎
The thumbs down....Who???? Mr. Springsteen is so much more than an awesome, talented artist. Read up on what Mr. Springsteen has contributed to for less fortunate. Thank you.
He should be proud of that album. I listen to it all the time. Never get sick of it. I love the changes and progression Bruce Springsteen has given us musically over the year. Music to grow with. Each album fit a time in my life. I can feel that is this album as well. Great job!!! Thank you
Always has been and always will be: THE BOSS
I wasn’t raised on Bruce, but I discovered him in my mid to late 20s, thanks to a girl who was going to college in my area at that time. We became good friends, and would periodically roadtrip together. On one of these trips, she played his first two albums for me, back to back. While I recognized a handful of the songs throughout, I was amazed at the musicianship of his songs that I didn’t recognize, from Lost In The Flood to Kitty’s Back, the lyrics, and the musical maturity.
I’ve since seen Bruce and the E Street Band live three times, with my first time being before even the girl who introduced me to his music (she had since finished college, and moved home, to the other side of the country).
Given the state of things in the world, I don’t expect any concerts any time soon, but I’ll forever cherish my memories of seeing them in 2012, 2014, and 2016!
That an awesome story! How old are you now? 33 here, but I grew up on springsteen thanks to my dad
@@ala2121 I’m 38 now!
@@GuadalupePicasso Good deal, plenty of years left to enjoy his music then!!
@@ala2121 yessir! I love his new album, and even included Janet Needs A Shooter on my Best Of 2020 mix on my Spotify!
Lost in the Flood is a song that never ages with me. This is sacrilege but I don't need to hear Born to Run ever again.
Definitely the Boss changed my life when I first listened Born To Run in 1975, being 15 by then. Sends shivers down my spine still.
Me too, I was 15 too. WAS, oh, I hate that!
When American Folk music provided the inspiration of a generation!
Bruce's Pete Seeger album is one of my favorites!
It's a rarity when Jimmy doesn't interrupt the guest non stop. Definitely a welcome reprieve when the boss is a guest.
Even here he's annoying but I get your drift.
Jimmy clearly worships him and is flustered in his presence.
Amazing stat: bruce has a top 5 album in 6 different decades!
More amazing yet, Barbra Streisand has a #1 album in each of the last 6 decades.

I love Bruce. I've been a fan of his for 40 years, almost my whole life. He's an amazing songwriter and performer.
He's my dad's idol, too, when he was a boy
It’s been over 40 years for me keep rocking boss
I didn’t know him until I was 77. I first heard him singing with Roy Orbison “ Pretty Woman” I liked how goofy he act.
As a 40 year old woman, I was brought up on "The Boss", both my mum and dad love him, and still do to this day. As a Brit, from Liverpool, home town of The Beatles - Bruce, thank you for your songs, and here's to you at 72! Keep on rocking! 🖤🇬🇧✨
Bruce ia still THE BOSS!!!!!
Is still the BOSS!!!
Bruce looks fantastic , can’t wait for “Letter to you “ live
“The Boss”
My First memory
of a Bruce Springsteen song…
Dad was test-driving a car
and I happened to go along.
Windows were down,
as we rounded the on-ramp.
It was a sunny day -
the weather was not damp.
“Hungry Heart,”
on the radio…played.
It was a Toyota Celica
& that memory stayed.
I bought “Born In The U.S.A.” -
used to listen to it before work.
Plopping in the cassette
was always a definite perk!
In my sophomore year of college,
my roommate loved The Boss.
I listened to a lot of Bruce
though my G.P.A. took a loss.
The Nebraska Album -
“Atlantic City,” at the time, was #1.
We faced many challenges,
but Bruce brightened our sun.
My Next roommate
was also a Springsteen fan.
The River Album played -
many a popped beer in hand.
One Summer, we were at a friend’s
everyone from the herd.
“Thunder Road” came on the radio
everyone sang every word.
“Roselita” is another favorite
in my over-flowing cup.
It was always there
when I needed a pick-me-up.
We were on the bridge in Atlantic City
windows down…having fun.
On the radio,
“Born to Run.”
Decades later…
a friend gave me two books to read.
Both about Bruce
& I followed his lead.
I am half- way through
the first one now.
I had no idea of his hardships -
sometimes I shake my head, “Wow!”
Bruce could’ve given up -
at any time he could have quit.
A life without his music -
just think about that for a bit.
He inspired me
to continue my quest.
Giving up on a dream
is far from the best.
Clarence Clemons - “The Big Man”...
Bruce’s partner in crime.
Each night on stage
they cre8ed new rhyme.
I awoke one morning
his sax playing in my soul.
R.I.P. Good Sir -
your passing still takes a toll.
“Jungle Land”
is my all-time fave.
In difficult times
it helps me be brave.
Thank you, Bruce,
for keeping me above zero.
To me, you are
The Greatest American Hero.
Nice tribute!
Might be one of Fallon's best interviews. Asked a question, listened, let the guest talk and didn't interrupt them.
Did he KISS Bruce's Keister?
One of the Greats. Still listen to his vinyl. Never get tired of it.
Really wish they’d make a biopic about this amazing man!
I had surgery Nov 20 and nearly died twice. My family were amazing. But knowing that Bruce, his words, his beautiful music, understanding and sharing of himself, gave and still bring me joy. Bless you Boss, your family, and please keep safe. For such a private soul, you give so much and all we can do is share and love you. Always have, always will. Love your books too. You are such a nice man. My beautiful girls have their letters for when I kick the bucket.
I say a big Thanks to you. I appreciate your love and support.. keep supporting. I'm just having a private conversation with my fans and you can contact me on my fanmeet email officialbruceSpringsteen86@gmail.com
Happy new year 🎉❣️
Hope you’re with us, a year later and beyond.
I have a short list of “greats” I’m grateful to have shared this time on earth with: Bruce is certainly one of them. So much more than even his outstanding lyrics. 💙
Cool to hear Bruce talk about his early inspiration...The Drifters...Twist and Shout and Greensleeves...etc..nice and to hear the inspiration for Letters..awesome
This dude is like a great bottle of barolo, the years pass and he gets cooler, wiser, and more interesting. This is the America people respect abroad
@B Babbich find another industrialized modern country where literally millions of people believe there is a liberal elite of Satan worshipping blood drinking pedophiles plotting against their leader.....I help you, there isn’t one. While America has some of the greatest minds in the world, it also has the biggest supply of idiots the world has ever seen. By design. The educational system in the USA has consistently declined to its sad present days where, an absurdity for the richest country in the world, it’s not even in the Top 30 worldwide. So when they say there are two America’s, a red and a blue one, a conservative and a liberal one, it’s also true that there more idiots there than anywhere else. So much so it’s shocking (prior to moving back to NYC, I lived in 5 other countries, traveled in 46 and I can guarantee you we have the most idiots than anyone else and by a fat margin). Just look at the millions protesting two days ago at the Stop the Steal marches.....lost the election by 7 million votes, lost 50 out of 51 law suits, lost every recourse to the Supreme Court and these idiots still complain with zero facts, zero evidence, zero anything. That kind of idiocy you only found here at home and nowhere else
Well said.
@B Babbich You need to think about why that should be.
@@fabiobalenzano6439 You took the words right out of my mouth!
@B Babbich He gave a perfectly lucid and clear explanation of why other nations look at America in the way that you complain about...based on his own personal experience and travels...and you dismiss it as" fabrication and clickbait".....mmmmm, well now, who do you sound like?
Normally I would say he looks good for 71 but now that, somehow, I am 66, I will just say he looks great! I love Bruce and his music for 40 years and am happy I had the priviledge to grow up on his music. LOVE YOU BRUCE!!!!
A singer that always sounded happy and sad at the same time... has Bruce listened to his own songs? Haha it’s exactly what I’ve always loved about him
mrs springsteen is one lucky woman .. saw the boss live & boy he has never changed still fantastic
That man is gift to humanity!
OMG, I love this man
🥰😍🥰
The first song I heard of his was played on a soap opera from Dollar Bill ( The Young and the Restless) to Gloria Loring. "I'm on Fire" ?? Loved it.
I've been in a Drive All Night binge here lately, listening to all the remakes. It would be overwhelming to be a new fan now and have to consume such a huge catalog. Theres no one better.
One of the greatest songwriters of our lifetime.
Admittedly I prefer his more subdued work, but no other album will resonate with me more than Nebraska does.
Yeah Nebraska is the shit man. Amazing price of work.
No kidding. Nebraska is a work of art.
He looks fantastic!
One class man who Ireland will never forget we love you man
Many stars can look good but it's Bruce's heart & spirit that shines thru in his lyrics and singing that will be ever ageless
"And I'm sure, of course, you remember this"
Bruce : "............."
🤣🤣❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️💥
This album rates right up there with Born to Run and it shows a maturity in both lyrics and life experiences. If he does not do another album with the E Street Band for whatever reason this is the one to end up on: it’s been a hell of a ride Boss and I have enjoyed every minute of it. Thank you for sharing your life and your music; you are without question your generations Bob Dylan; Well I got this guitar and I learned how to make it talk and we are all better off for it.
It's nice when Jimmy doesn't interrupt the guest all the time.
Bruce is so natural here, so ready to tell stories and explain his life, and Jimmy is so over the top that I feel like saying, "Stop interrupting him!" No wonder I prefer Stephen Colbert.
Hi, please rewatch this because Jimmy really does let him speak quite a while without interrupting. I’m also surprised that you compare Jimmy’s interviewing skills to Colbert who has truly mastered the art of interrupting and asking his own questions which take 5 minutes for him to finish his own question and gives his guest 10 seconds to answer.
Unlike the audience, I got excited when he said the first song he learned was Greensleeves cause that was the first song I learned too.
And anyone else have his song My Hometown on their mind too during this interview? It's so weird how long ago he wrote that song and is still relevant to who he is now after all these years. Goes to show how honest and down to earth he is in his music.
My Hometown is the shit. Never get tired of playing it.
Miss the songs about the cars; Racing in the streets, Cadillac Ranch, Something in the Night..... Jimmy allows him to talk, Great Host.
The boss’ music is the soundtrack of my life. I got letter to you on vinyl and fear I am going to wear it out. One of the great things that I have been able to do with extra time during quarantine is to listen to his autobiography a second time and stop and listen to each album as he describes how it was conceptualized and brought to life. He is one of the great philosophers of our age.
I say a big Thanks to you. I appreciate your love and support.. keep supporting. I'm just having a private conversation with my fans and you can contact me on my fanmeet email officialbruceSpringsteen86@gmail.com
Happy new year 🎉❣️
Dang. This dude is 70? Never got into him that much being 28 right now but i do like that song Dancing In The Dark.
@Angel One, there are so many facets or shades of Bruce Springsteen - easy way to listen is look at his Wikipedia, then jump over to CZcams and listen to it. The Boss has evolved as he got older, but you never feel he lost his way musically! Started following him in late 1970's
@Angel One, Bruce is a legend. You definitely should take some time to yourself and listen to some more. I recommend The River, Jungle Land, The Rising, 10th Avenue Freeze Out, Streets of Philadelphia, Atlantic City, etc. I just love him and The E Street Band so much. I'm 32 but I've always been a big fan of him since myself growing up in NJ.
71 to be precise

71 lol and yeah this mans a legend. Same age as my dad lmao. Both still looking youthful
Respect for shedding a tear for a lost friend...
The High School band he refers to was The Castiles. Recordings exist. They did a version of Hendix Purple Haze. Even at seventeen you can tell its Bruce.
One of their first songs is "Baby I". I listen to it when the spirit moves me. Young Bruce, so treasured.
i Loved when Bruce & Jimmy sang I Whip My Hair !!!!!!!!!!
So many good memories I have had at Bruce's concerts. He is an amazing musician.....always be a favorite of mine love 💘 you Bruce
I wish Bruce all the best! May he keep on trucking baby!!!!!!!!! 🚚 🤗
So much enjoy his being genuine and open in his interviews in addition to his fantastic musical abilities. God bless everyone
A great album. I love Bruce and his music. Fantastic, still, wherever his is.
I can only feel humble and grateful, as you all do. I wish I could ever give back a little something of the same quality. Something simple, good and genuine. We all have a little bit of that, and it feels like if Bruce saw it and wrote it and sang it on our behalf. As someone said, he makes us remember things we've never lived.
Thanks so much to you and all those that helped and inspired you. We will never be alone.
Yea Bruce, we love you. Keep on rocking.
I’ve rediscovered Bruce, and I feel lucky to have done so.
His band mate's name is George Theiss and the band was called The Castilles. I'm from Freehold and these were my neighbors. I saw them play at Woodhaven Swim Club.
Boro 4 Life!
If there is one person to show what New Jersey is about, it's Bruce Springsteen. He has never forgotten where he came from, he is the Folk/Rock Artist of New Jersey! His songs prove it over and over again!
@Hello David how are you doing
Letter To You is a return to form...best ESB record since the reunion. I have seen rock and roll past/present/future, and it's name is Herr Boss. A salve for these troubled times.
