Dying, crying and I'm so happy for you Howard Stern. Thank you for creating, producing and sharing. Honesty, facts, real. Beautiful.

[@CCsDomain]

Thx so much

[@frogblues]

This song gets more beautiful the older Bruce gets because the meaning matches his look and his history more and more

[@shasha111ify]

I saw Bruce in a biker bar, in L.A CA. 1992. He sat near me. I said your the boss. He pointed at the bartender and said he`s the boss.

[@ryanwakley1640]

@Barry Obama yes, they married in June 1991

[@kdyooper28]

Great story. Thankyou

Absolutely no doubt about that.

[@pgm8090]

I agree

[@dennylou1888]

Bruce has matured nicely - always nice to hear his beautiful voice.

[@kerch6]

I wasn't a Springsteen fan. I was slightly aware of his music but didn't understand why he affected his fans so deeply until now. WoW he is super amazing.

[@TheDizzymarskell]

Get amongst it mate. Immerse yourself in it. In him. His music. His lyric genius. It'll enhance your life.

[@debbykleinberg8779]

Welcome! Lots of catching up to do.

[@rpg7711]

Listen to a couple of his albums. It will take 3 listens but will be worth it. Then treat yourself to a show. It will change your life. Welcome

“…I’m playing and I’m singing but I’m listening too..if I’m creating that sensation for me…I know I’m creating it for you.” Perfect. I miss my NJ.

[@sharongonzalez101]

Tougher than the rest is not only my favourite Bruce Springsteen song its my favorite song of all time. Its absolutely beautiful.

[@Tassie85]

Bruce writes gorgeous love songs. Romantic, raw and heart-rending.

[@shaawewa]

Bruce accompanied only by piano gets me every time. What an album of reworked tracks that would make.

[@SatoriMusicaofficial]

Bro we should start a movement to make this happen. What an album that would be indeed!!

[@Luka-xu6lk]

You have my vote!

[@thedappercook]

A national treasure and quite simply one of the finest songwriters and story tellers of all time. I weep uncontrollably to alot of his music and rock the f......k out to the other lot of his music. Thanks for everything Boss.

Something really magical happens when Bruce gets on the piano. I love the promise as well!

[@bobbyvivalo4424]

A beautiful, haunting version of one of his best songs.

[@tomwaddle8125]

Tunnel of Love is such a sweet, vulnerable album. It's love...warts and all.

[@marting4597]

For me, the greatest of all time. At least in my lifetime. The Boss.

[@Marklevasseur1960]

Agree

[@truthhurts3524]

The Boss was the only one that was going to pull Howard from his bunker. Great interview and performance!

[@bobabooey4537]

What changed his mind?

[@jangler007]

I think the Boss is sitting in Howard’s Apt.

[@fedebjalways]

Actually Howard went to Cleveland in 2018 to induct Bon Jovi into the Rock & Roll Hall Of Fame.

[@sarahmonaghan8664]

@@fedebjalways That was before the pandemic, though. Since the pandemic, he has not left his home except for Bruce.

[@Jannes-pj4cd]

I’m a huge Springsteen fan, he’s a true artist. He writes masterpieces

[@DennisfromMunich]

This change with the minor chord thrown in in the third verse lifts the song to a whole new level!

[@angelalandestoy4890]

Tougher than the rest is my favorite from Bruce Springsteen, dancing in the dark comes second, third thunder road. Then goes on!❤❤❤

[@martinekstrom6769]

Indeed a song from the deepest heart of the soul ♥️

[@MrPernell27]

The break from touring has really helped his voice. He sounds really strong. Going to see him at MSG in February!!!

Bruce is coming to Winnipeg for the first time ever in nov 2023, I picked up two floor seats this morning 😊

I'm 56 and just got into listening to Bruce Springsteen. I don't know why I didn't realize his genius before this.

"I'm playing and I'm singing but I'm listening too" That hit me hard and applies in so many ways that have nothing to do with music.

Bruce Springsteen is definitely still young and energetic at heart.
