Can You Guess Bruce Springsteen's Favorite Bob Dylan Songs?

[@ianjohnson458]

"Visions of Johanna" is one of the absolute greatest. Some of the best writing ever.

[@frigginjerk]

In the city where I live, there's a fairly popular art museum that would do free admission on the first Friday of the month (before Covid). I used to like looking at a painting for a little it and then saying to no one in particular, "This is what salvation must be like after a while." Nobody ever seemed to get the reference. Bah.

Two legends? Colbert went out of his way to encourage COVID vaccines...and shamed those who stayed unvaccinated...Steven, why did you do that? Are you so clueless about the medical industrial complex? 3 Noble Prize winners supported the policy of staying unvaccinated...he has no business being in the company of Springsteen...

[@tenisalot]

Colbert a legend on a par with Bruce? Colbert is a puppet , does and says what he is told, like shaming people who refused to take an experimental harmful "vaccine".....Dick Cavett, Mike Douglas, Tommy Smothers yes THEY are legends....But Colbert? He should not be allowed to shine Bruce's shoes.

[@wendybusby9415]

"Thunder Road" was the greatest song ever written. Thank you Bruce and good to see you.

Imagine you knew nothing about Bruce Springsteen, never heard a single song. You just see this amazing, beautiful human being. But later, in your head, out of nowhere, melodies and words arise. And then you hear Thunderroad or State Trooper for the first time. And it all makes sense. With eyes wide open, humble, through his mind and voice the spirit of music is alive for all of us.

I know he celebrates 50 yrs of his group but heh he put out way more single albums than Tom Petty who I keep bringing up who truly would have been bereft without a band even during the Jeff Lynne period.

Hey Bruce, it's nice to reconnect with you and your music. I have many many great stories about hearing and even playing your music. One day in 1979, I was hanging out with some friends on the balcony across the street. There was a real heavy rainstorm presence in the area around Calgary but we were sheltered with a roof and comfortable. A friend and I were singing Born to Run and really hitting it up. We were approaching the climax of the refrain, "Baby we were born to . . . " and there was a monstrous bolt of lightning right there and then so we couldn't hear ourselves sing "RUN!" It was a magical gift as is your music. Thank you. Come up to Vancouver when isolation settles down.

Good question about listening to albums all the way through. Starting with the Walkman, music consumption became more of an individual thing, whereas prior to that it was much more communal: You got the new albums,; you listened with your roommates or friends; sat around with the album covers and liner notes; smoked a number or drank a beer or glass of wine; and you talked about the music then listened again. Together. Not so now, especially since the iPod and phones and playlists came along. You listen with ear buds and shut out everything else, including other people. It’s almost gone back to the era of the single - the 45. And we do it all by ourselves. Kind of a shame, The “listening party” is long gone, as well as human interaction. Is this progress? I think not.

On the other hand, I listen to a lot of music by artists who basically didn't make albums. Louis Armstrong, Hank Williams, Billie Holiday, Smokey Robinson & the Miracles, etc.

[@larrypower8659]

@Pat Conolly. Well, Smokey and all the Motown and Soul artists certainly made albums in the ‘60s and later - lots of them. And they were dorm and apartment mainstays, especially when the party began. The artists you refer to may not have been part of that era, certainly. But in their day the experience was still communal: People listened to the radio and listened (wait for it) together. Point being, the listening experience was communal from the dawn of popular radio in the ‘20s until the advent of personal devices, in the late ‘80s and beyond.

@@larrypower8659 Well, all the Motown songs I listened to were singles (until WHAT"S GOING ON). I did also play them from Greatest Hits albums, but that's not quite the same thing. I do agree with your main point, although it doesn't really apply to me - ever since my choice of THE BEST OF THE CHICAGO BLUES was poo-pooed in favor of THE YES ALBUM I always preferred to listen to music by myself.

I love the Born to run anniversary story

[@sharonsnail2954]

I think Bruce's description of your life as a car containing all the previous versions of you is very true. As someone who is 2 years older than Bruce, I recognise the analogy and the fact that sometimes it's the earlier version who's driving. This is especially bad when my early 30s incarnation is at the wheel. I wasn't very pleasant then. Age tells you that you might give that person some slack.

I am only 64 but I get your great comment!

[@Harrydewulf]

I'm not particularly a fan of Springsteen, but this clip is worth it for that excellent and accurate description of consciousness.

[@dayhefner]

Agreed! His reflection about all the “yous in the car” was something I’ve been needing to hear.
