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.

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!

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!

Geoff Morris well I've no idea who the interviewer is, or where he comes from (sounds British to me), but his technique and questions are atrocious in this interview and it feels like a wasted opportunity that I would regret, had it been me.

[@Victoria-gv3qh]

Yessss!

[@cocomademoiselle6753]

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

[@jimbuck2996]

Bruce sucks.

[@PC4USE1]

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.

[@jobinsmith4116]

Love Springsteen’s laugh! Contagious

[@JC-yd9db]

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 !!!!

[@tm502010]

Would love to hear him on Trump now...

[@Martial-Mat]

Incredibly impressed. I didn't know the man was such a thinker. Would have liked more intelligence from the interviewer though.

[@dsofe4879]

You should really check out his music if you're surprised and impressed that he's a thinker.

[@Martial-Mat]

Yes I think you're right. Thanks for the suggestion.

[@MillerGenuineDraft1980]

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.

[@Benny.13]

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 !!

[@ronyeahright9536]

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.

[@orooneytoones]

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!

[@nicholaslawlor8623]

My only Bruce Springsteen Concert was 4th July at Wembley stadium, the original one. It was an unbelievable experience, absolutely wonderful!

[@andresmith465]

Lots of people spewing forth hate for the sake of the man having a different opinion. Burning records, nasty insults...do you people believe that response elevates you? Do you believe your extreme actions make you more in the right? Sad

[@jane_7193]

An excellent interviewer, I really like him and his personality and style.

[@georgecostanza2695]

Arguably the most intelligent interview I’ve seen with any rock star.

[@herculesbrofister265]

ohyeah, try this one kzbin.info/www/bejne/gJzPZYybnZJ1itE

[@BrentMFisher]

Fast forward to 2022. Sorry Bruce you couldn't be more wrong. Thank the good Lord above your fans loyalty is not contingent upon your personal political views. Love always ~ kimie

[@peterneate607]

Excellent interview.

[@graemefraser8473]

What a smart man Bruce Springsteen is. His political insight has been proven 100%, and his immense love for the American people is obvious.

[@AdamAintWright]

That didn’t play out well, He just Bud Lighted Himself by Endorsing Kamala & Tampon Tim!😂

[@graemefraser8473]

@@AdamAintWright Maybe, or maybe he prefers politics based on policies rather than childish name-calling?

[@inmaculadafontanacandial893]

I'm in love with this man because he's a good-hearted man.

[@englishsteve1125]

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.

[@davymike761]

What a normal guy. Makes me wanna listen to his music even more.

[@rockradstone]

Has anyone seen Bruce and Robert De Niro in a room together? I'm seeing quite a resemblance these days. Anyway....good interview!

[@missinformed4269]

Rick R His voice and mannerisms are very similar as well.

[@aperson2730]

Apparently De Niro got the "You talkin' to me?" line in Taxi Driver from a Springsteen concert

[@annemiekkaspers2178]

The Boss is Right! as usual.You are humble and real! Keep on going Bruce!God bless you and your family!Annemiek.

[@Rburg00]

So much stuff here, Thanks!

[@michaelreidperry3256]

“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.

[@stevekuehnmd252]

The street was named because all the band members lived on E St. in Asbury, New Jersey

[@betequeue6233]

I'm sure he's got paid handsomely.
