I greatly admire his ability to look at life and to share his interpretations with us. Depression is hard. Digging yourself out of it is a life's work. Keep on with the introspection and honesty, Bruce Springsteen!
The best storyteller ever! Love Bruce...just a really good person with great insight and true talent!
his songs are poetry of life,,timeless...
He & his band put on one of the best live shows I've ever seen! He's such a talented humble musician.
Wasn't in the best mood today. I just watched this and feel better. This happens not only with Bruce's music, but also with his interviews and life perspective. Very wise words regarding depression. This man is everything, still. Thanks Boss!
In the 70's I was a bartender In a college town in Ohio. After his show, he walked in to the Bar. So I still remember serving him a Heineken. A great moment that I still treasure and brag about.
a tip : you can watch series at flixzone. Been using them for watching a lot of movies recently.
@Jimmy Dylan Yup, been watching on flixzone for years myself :D
Never was a Springsteen fan but I do have respect for him and watching this interview he seems very down to earth and likeable.
The Boss! You gave me a life time of your voice. Thank you.
He is such a gift to decades long fans like myself. I became a fan in the 1970s, and I am thankful for his music each day ❤Thank you, Bruce.
Ja też🙂🙋❤
Always makes me feel better and stronger and safer. And with better understanding. Thank you Mr. Springsteen
Talking about his voice, WOW, back in the day and for years, he could wail like no one else! It always gives me goosebumps. I just woke up so still on slow mo, but listen to the end of either Jungleland or Backstreets, especially when performed live, and you hear a voice that’s unmatchable! If you don’t know it, there’s copies of those early shows you can download. Do yourself a favor, if you weren’t a fan back then and get you a couple.
I GREW UP AT THE SAME TIME AND ONLY 33 MILES AWAY FROM BRUCE AND THOSE DAYS WERE TOUGH IN NJ AND WHAT THE WORLD DOESNT GET IS THAT HIS MUSIC -ESPECIALLY THE EARLY STUFF IS THE NEW JERSEY EXPERIENCE AND LANDSCAPE -ITS WHAT LIFE WAS LIKE GROWING UP THERE-PAIN AND PLEASURE AND DEPRESSION -ITS THE WEATHER AND THE ENVIORNMENT ! HIS EARLY MUSIC reflects WHAT new jersey was like
Sounds like Sweden🤤
great interview! very intimate ...the greatest stars are those humble ones, like Bruce Springsteen
I enjoy listening to Bruce explaining his life, l find it helpful to me!
He is just getting better and better. His voice is incredible and I can listen for hours. Thank you Bruce and the E-street band for it all. ☀️🎈
I am 59 years old , at age 52 I found out I am bi-polar type 2 with clinical depression. I was never happy, I thought happiness in others was a social construct to fight sadness, to achieve not sad - not happy just blah. My best days were blah. Now I am on meds, the mania is less sharp, I stay more in the middle between crushing depression, and manic fear. Life is good.
robert miller love ya Rob
Bless you
🙏🌎🍀
Bruce has Heart. His brilliance and humanity are still pervasive. He has always embraced the humble way he grew up never forgetting the struggle of working people. Thank you Bruce, his family friends and others, including the musicians he works with. The joy he has given they music with a message
Why did he have to espouse his radical left wing BS? Why couldn’t he keep his mouth shut? I used to admire him as a poor man’s Elvis but I realize Elvis had more character not to mention talent in his pinky then Springstern will ever have if he worked at it 10 hours a day for 30 years and he STILL won’t have a sliver of elvis’ class and character as an entertainer
@@stusargent4892 Poor Stu... Bruce said something against your beloved Cult Leader... did it hurt your feelings, scumbag ?
@@stusargent4892- I honestly do not think I’ve ever heard a more ignorant comment in my entire lifetime! Unfortunately every now and then we are forced to cross paths with some real pathetic people in this world and today that human is most definitely you!!! FYI Springsteen is hands down one of, if not the most, talented musicians as well as an absolute brilliant song writer and has more class and intelligence then you could ever dream of having! I just thought I’d fill you in because you obviously weren’t already aware 😂😂😉
@@stusargent4892 nonsense Elvis did not write lyrics or music ..so you can t compare on that front. And nobody mentions Elvis s supporting Nixon. Funny that.
@@holitipu I only compared their character and talent and there’s no comparison there! There is the stratosphere and then there is Freehold. Springsteen has written some great songs it’s not in the Lennon-McCartney Hank Williams Chuck Berry category however not close he exposed himself and cancelled fans w his political views he just did
I love Bruce!
Imagine someone I've always love everything about especially his voice, saying he doesn't have the nicest voice. What a very humble personality you are bruce Love you more
You are a good man Mr Springsteen
Esse home foi lindo qdo era jovem. Hoje continua lindo.♥️♥️♥️♥️🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷
wow. Bruce is philosophically brilliant and insightful. I will always LOVE him.
Maureen Lippincott he is and always will be one of the people I really love and respect
Live No One...reaches out to a crowd takes in their struggle loves them and gives back universal love truth faith and understanding. Bruce is truly gifted.
@@davemoira so am I - just pure love !!!
I just watched this lil film titled Blinded By The Light, SO GOOD!!!!! A true story, see it!!! Bruce is the premise.
Love his voice. How can he not like it
Correct me if I'm wrong but I get the impression that Springsteen never really made a mark in his home country. He seems to be way more popular in Europe, Asia and South America. He was voted the most influential musician in Norway a few years back. He has done a lot of touring up here and we all love him, even the younger generation.
he's pretty popular in the us playing 100s of stadium shows
Your comment is absolutely incorrect.
He was the biggest artist in America for like three straight years in the mid 80’s lol
I think he is popular in the U.S but they struggle to separate the man and his politics...which in Europe is seen as humanitarian and admirable and in the U.S as radical . We just embrace the music and the man more.
@@holitipuYes, Republicans are hypocrites. They forget that Ronald Reagan was an actor. lol
My dad was my north star, I cared for him as he died. But I never was able to reconcile with my mom, even though I cared for her as a nurse. She was emotionally locked up. I grew up with a mother who was severely mentally ill, but I grew up to be a nurse working in mental health, I got her illness finally. And accepted it. My mom was an AXIS II PD'S, so medication does not help. My beloved father was a beautiful, poetic, depressed, Scotsman. I recognized and related to him. It took going through school to understand my AXIS II PD'S tortured French Canadian/Potowatomi mother.
I suspect, 12 kids might be enough to drive a typical human being insane?
I could watch another hour of this...
I could watch Bruce forever,😊
I always learn something profound when I listen to him. He looks better than ever and seems to be in a good place in himself.
🙏🙏🙏♥️♥️♥️🇧🇷🇧🇷
Te Amo Bruce. Como ser humano. Querido. Amoroso.♥️♥️♥️🇧🇷🇧🇷
your a legend bruce .. the boss rocks 🤩
I was fortunate enough to see Rod in ‘84 and he covered Hungry Heart. Just as he had done w/ Dylan he made the song his own. Nice to hear The Boss give him his props!
Thanks Bruce
He's so amazing!!!
That was an insightful, intelligent interview. Utterly superb Ms. King! As Michael Schmitt has already commented I could easily watch another hour of this.
Great interview. 🙏
Legendarno. Bravo kralju.
He need to have a comeback concert hope to see you in my city soon God Bless You!
Olivergavin Gavin Bruce a comeback..He is always has been the best.
Icons don't make comebacks, they never left to begin with.
Love the boss. Left California and moved his family back home to New Jersey to raise
Thank you Bruce
Required viewing for all parents, very insightfull. But anyone would love this.
I thought this interview was very interesting! I really liked it!
How interesting that at 9:50 he says he'll "never record definitive versions of someone else's songs; that's why I have to write." Fast forward a few years: Bruce recently released an album of cover tunes, Only The Strong Survive. Regarding it, he said, “I’d spent my working life with my voice at the service of my songs, confined by my arrangements, by my melodies, by compositions, and by my constructions,” he said. “My voice always came second, third or fourth to those elements…[On this new album], I put my own spin on the singing, and my team mastered and sonically modernized some of the most beautiful songs in the American pop songbook. I had so much fun recording this music.”
Excel·lent interview, never seen such interesting thing. Thanks so much
The BOSS! #Bruce
A great interview, well done Gayle King
Still beautiful, Bruce!
Awesome 👏
One of the best Bruce interviews.
Difícil não amá-lo! 💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖
my my first love 💝💝
Great 🫶🏿interview!!! I love ❤️ him and he’s still 🔥handsome I love ❤️ his 🎤singing music 🏆and 🎶 his ❤️honesty, and I love the song he sings about his ❤️mom ❤may she 🙏🏽R.I.P I’m so sorry 💔 for your loss.🤗
beautiful barn
WORDS OF WISDOM . BRUCE HAS BEEN A GUIDE THROUGH OUT MY LIFE , SINCE HAMMER- SMITH 75. LATEST LESSON , FACING YOUR DEMONS PERHAPS THE MOST IMPORTANT .
Great interview. First Gayle King interview I’ve enjoyed in many years
@Deborah Fox I am guessing that is because of him, not her. She is a mess filled with hate and scorn for anyone who is not black. She only has a job because of Oprah. And I guess since his record company is owned by CBS he has to do this. I think he should have said no. After 50 years in the business he earned that right.
If only he had got to duet with Elvis... now that would have been interesting. Bruce is Awsome.
Gosto da risada do Bruce..😆😆🇧🇷🇧🇷
I may be the last person to discover this but Gayle King is an outstanding interviewer.
@Brian Thomas REALLY????? She is a complete mess. She only has the job because of Oprah. I love Bruce but the minute I saw her I turned it off. Even he is not worth watching that racist pig for.
Talented humble man. The song always overrides the voice. Look at Bob Dylan, Van Morrison, the Manic street preachers lead vocalist, forgotten his name :).....None of them have brilliant voices, but the songs are great. IMHO. Everybody's got a hungry heart..........
Honestly YOU are the real PATRIOT!!! BONESPURS, FORGET ABOUT IT!!! THANK YOU BRUCE, I can't say BOSS. I can say YOU talk too the BOSS!!! I EAR YOU✌🙏🏿🙏🏼🙏🏽💙❤
Are real!!you have got me theough a lot!!better than any one out there
“Western Stars” is great and all but for me I am just curious about something... How many more unreleased songs from “Darkness on the Edge of Town” and “The River” are there?
Hundreds.
The Boss!
Boss forever !!!
@@annapohoryles4409 Woo!
Deus te Abençoe sempre Bruce. E cure vc de toda enfermidade. Jesus faz cair por terra toda inveja. Olho grande. Vc é um homem mt LINDO. Inteligente. Venceu. Realizou seus sonhos de ser famoso. Por isso é mt invejado. .🙇♂️🙇♂️🙌🙌🙌

Iam Proud to be JERSEY GIRL
If your dad is the boss , you ain’t making music after him unless your better ❤️❤️❤️
12:25 Bruce is talking about Biden
He's totally right about his voice.
Darkness On The Edge Of Town , my favorite LP by The Boss ! He Knows , Trump is a chump.
Tunnel of Love ✔️
Trump's a very successful and wealthy Chump who also happens to be the President of the greatest country on earth - a real chump! 🖕
Peggy Micsky Ahh, the Trump myth of success. To think people still believe it is to laugh.
Damn, imagine that life...
Bruce Springsteen and John Cougar in my opinion, are beautiful representatives of what America is in the imaginations of the positive dreamers.
Lynyrd Skynyrd,Tom Petty,Kid Rock,Neil Young,etc...
he boss best whishes from vienna
Quote. i got mine dont worry bout his. Lolol
he sure has a lot of guitars
🤘😀 YEA ! AND HOPEFULLY the tickets will cost twice as much ! 🤘😀
I'm an admirer of both Gayle King and Bruce Springsteen and many other people but I keep in mind that even good people can be wrong about their opinions or assessments of others. That happens with politicians, entertainers, our parents, and even ourselves.
Money always makes the difference. I never got that. So I get to be blamed. Financial Failure is not an option. Money changes everything.
Love Bruce Hate Gayle
@ontourwik Amen she is awful.
go fast away from me i can´t understnd your messege since my birthday 1973 ever too
why is he orange
please fight with my minde as like as be in me 46 years in future as greetings salzburg .... last finde me
Ralf, your comment makes no sense at all. You need more English lessons!
Everything was great until we get to honorary recognition by our Presidents. When is Freedom equal to Peace? The lion to lay down with the lamb, and an understanding that our Servant is our Master? We all need each other. We all make up one body. What would we be without our right arm? Our left eye? Just the same, we're only part of a body without any one of us. As an American, I can identify with the meaning: "United we Stand"... May we all stand up with each other, even when a painful delivery could be forgiven.
Born down in a dead man's town
The first thing I knew when I hit the ground.
End up like a dog that’s been best too much
Bruce's lyrics 4 us bout us
All about Gayle Winfrey! From that stupid opening, to her continually finishing his sentences. Hard to take!
If Donald Trump hates you, I would carry it as a badge of honor.
Was it religion and the power of guilt that caused the mental issues? I'm irish myself, and I've seen that a lot of those patterns in my own family and others.

I've been a Bruce Springsteen fan for over 40 years. I'm not interested in an artist's politics. That's the best way to get me to stop listening to them. I've long since reconciled my differences with many of my relatives and friends and the cardinal rule that I always enforce is we leave the politics and religion out of all our conversations. With regard to the Boss let's keep it about the music.
so don't listen to him if he ever talks about politics.
You’ve obviously not heard a single lyric in those 40 years.
@@galaxyroblox5757Ronald Reagan was an actor for many years, so I hope you’re not a hypocrite.
Ronald Reagan and Arnold, both actors and both politicians. Musicians have been singing about politics for decades.
Yep the direction of the country is in good shape thanks to trump ..... if y’all like to say someone is not good please explain in depth otherwise it’s bs.
He's definitley on the spectrum.
@DIYTFY , what looks more like a spectrum is you neither the face shows. How about really showing yourself ?!
He seems to have an issue with eye contact one on one
Gail king is the worst. Absolute worst
Overated
This from somebody who can't spell.
Obviously have not been to his concert.
@@ericcumminsband LOL a perfect example of who doesn't get him.........illiterate followers who never once had an original thought.
So why waste your time listening then!
Great interview right up until they started talking politics
@ James H Exactly why we are divided as a nation because we do not allow people to have their own opinions. He has been a Democrat forever. He spoke out against Reagan in the 80's. Maybe you just weren't paying attention. He has a right to his opinion.
You should have given Trump the same advice about E. Jean Carrol. 😂
Wgaf Bruce?
Don't watch
He has too much makeup on and so does she.
Lora Jiron Unfortunately....
@Lora Jiron Trust me you would not want to see her without it. She is as ugly as her girlfriend Oprah without makeup
He's so great.
