Full interview Bruce Springsteen | SVT/NRK/Skavlan

[@LesHoa-DuMal]

Bruce is a legend. An international treasure. A one in a lifetime artist. But most importantly a deep down lovely thoughtfulc humble human.

[@danielfisch389]

Brilliant interview. A host who asks intelligent questions and lets his guest answer without interrupting all the time. There are some serious and deep issues, yet all happens in a relaxed atmosphere, with some funny moments. This is how it should be done.

[@sallymoore4035]

What was the last question the interviewer asked Bruce 'did you ever get to play with the ??Thomas?' I listened twice couldn't hear..Bruce replied" I did it was better than my dreams..a little rehearsal studio...? I would love to know this ? Otherwise very good interview.

Yes the Stones...

[@fenwayify]

As a man who's also struggled with mental health issues like depression and anxiety, then found the need to pursue therapy and medication, I can appreciate his experience. I've followed a similar path, including outliving a therapist. His wealth has certainly made it more affordable to address his mental health needs, but it still takes courage to face them. His willingness to do so and even more so to publicly share such personal information is brave. His sharing helps lessen the stigma toward mental health treatment, an area most of us can benefit from at some point in our lives. I am hard pressed to find an instance where he isn't aiming to give, help, support, respect, encourage and include others in whatever he's doing. It seems to be in his bones.

[@gymnosophy]

Cool, one of the best interviews, conducted by a man whose English is better than most native English speakers that interviewed Bruce!

[@marcobeyermann3435]

One of the best interviews of Bruce i've ever seen.

[@curlessmania4708]

Excellent interview. Great questions and Bruce responds with in depth answers.

[@jagger952000]

That is, by far, one of the best interviews with Bruce Springsteen i have ever seen! Just could not take my eyes off it. He has so much depth, so much life, within him. Incredibly fascinating.

[@evawilhelm5113]

There are hardly any bad interviews with this host, he's amazing

it's because of Skavlan... he's so good as a host...!!

[@GuusjeReijnen-Linssen]

Yeah you're right. This is a very good interview with a lot of respect. 😋

[@maryamighi6834]

Good honest authentic exchange between host and guest. Not alot of fawning over like an American interview. Thanks Slavan, I appreciate your insightful interviews.

[@evelynbaron2004]

I love Slavlan as an interviewer/talk show host; respectful, the other guests interchange ideas etc. you can be serious; ok everyone's there to promote something but the conversation always transcends that -- really great format. 3 yrs later I re-read Springsteen's autobiography and it's brilliant. People were so amazed in the last couple of long interviews with Tom Petty how articulate and thoughtful and long-sighted and …. the list goes on; it was a big surprise because he had a public persona that covered up all that deeply sensitive but incredibly insightful big brain -- here the gregarious Springsteen is taking that leap in public and good for him; a good man, my Dad loved him, for good reason. (My Dad hated rock and roll before Springsteen, you can imagine the collective sigh of relief on the part of my sister and me.) Good wishes to all!

[@nancyboyd6273]

Saw Bruce in 86 at the Sundome in Tampa. Won the tickets thru Y95 f.m. I've been rock in my whole life. Play guitar had three bands in the 80's and 90's still play today 48 years later. In fact just bought another amp😌 I can honestly say, and I've been too a 1000 concerts, he is by far theee best concert I've ever been to. They played for 3 hrs straight. I never sat down once. I love everything he plays. Saw him do a song Thunder Road with Melissa Ethridge and I always wished that was me doing it with . love love low him. God bless him the whole band and his beautiful family. And Patti. I was jealous. You lucky women. Thank you so much for years of love and music💓🎵🌹🌴

the day after his birthday in 1985 he was in concert in Denver. he seems so self aware and so insecure at the same time

[@karlhoy7395]

I've read a lot of comments and the salient theme is respect, ok so he dont dig Trump, ....calls him an embarrassment, but hey it's a free world.... at least till the DEMS take power again. But Bruce is a good man and that can only come from, not the way his early life was but how he dealt with it. Must have been hard coming from Irish- Italian ancestry steeped in the Catholic faith. But he's right, The Beatles actually changed the world. Two Cats, one Prod and a Hebrew, a good scattering of cultures. Don't care about Springstienes politics as I'm sure he doesn't care that much. He's a good guy and I listen to his music and I love it. Bless him and Steven Van Zandt.

[@tomcarl8021]

"Must have been hard coming from Irish-Italian ancestry steeped in the Catholic faith". Um, I grew up around Irish and Italians my whole life. I'm a New Yorker. They're the most well adjusted people around. WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT???? And Ringo isn't Jewish, you boob.

What do you think? Should he live in squalor somewhere? And what path did you follow? No one told you to live your life as if you were a part of a song or an album. That was a silly thing to do. IIt was your life. You did it. No one forced you to. Certainly not Bruce Springsteen. What does your kind say about personal responsibility? What do you suppose happened to you to make you this way? A maga hat? I understand growing up and realizing you are really just another right wing judgmental conservative( so boring) who thinks they know best for everyone but why trump? He is a bad man. A stupid man. And if you think Springsteen doesn't care about you do some research on what trump has done to be people like you. His detests his base. He detests the religious right. Trump is your idea of what a rich man is. Congenitally wealthy, tasteless, vain and stupid. These are demonstrable facts.

[@koosdelarey20]

These rich privileged liberals had their chance to listen to the genuine concerns of working and middle class white Americans back in the early 1990s when rightest intellectuals like Pat Buchanan and others were talking about downside of mass immigration and globalisation, ETC, even if they, (liberals) disagreed with them. Trump is what you get when genuine held concerns are fobbed off by the elites, including money-hungry Republicans who now support globalists like Hillary, as "racist" or Xenophobic" instead of attempting to understand that there are downsides to any ideology. Including globalisation and open borders.

[@deanofgames4661]

Koos Delarey amazingly you’ve managed to parrot back things you’re heard or read, but clearly you have no clue about American politics. I’m a long time conservative republican, and I can say that you’ve got liberals and conservatives both wrong.

Bruce is a thoughtful, reflective guy, as is evident in the lyrics of his songs & in his interviews like this one. Trump wouldn't know what thoughtful or reflexive was if it smacked him in the face.

Koos Delarey He has spent a lifetime telling stories of the people he met - and the people he wanted to reflect their pains - to give everyone hope - in a sense a preacher in some sense - listen to more songs and watch some interviews to learn why he has given 4 decades of sweat to his fans -

What do you mean by the music of "THE MAN" ? ?

[@mjhodges5903]

Being born into working-class family and being brought up as working-class is of course all he can write and sing about what ever Wealth he has gathered along the way is a byproduct of his success in doing what he does he is still essentially Working class.... if a dog is born in the stable it doesn’t make it a horse it’s still a dog and will always remain a dog likewise Springsteen will always be essentially working class until the day he dies..... furthermore if he had been a rubbish songwriter singer performer and made no money that would be okay I’m guessing simply because he has made money from being very successful at what he does seems to present a problem which of course is nonsense.
