"Sitting with my 14 month old boy in the grass while he watches his first fireworks show, piece of watermelon precariously in his grip, remnants of his first taste of funnel cake on his fat little cheeks. Bruce Springsteen on the cracking carny speakers. Then Adele, for some reason."
"I sat in the parking lot of an ice cream shop on a rural highway on my way home, had a modelo tallboy, and listened to Springsteen with the seat back."
"I don't mean to say that he is out of key like Bob Dylan or Bruce Springsteen. I don't mean to say that his delivery is flat and within a limited range like Ian Curtis or the guy from Cake."
"Building a 4th of July playlist and beyond Bruce Springsteen and Creedence Clearwater (which are the clear top-2) the drop off to other contenders is difficult."
"Anybody who says there was a better year in music other than 1984 is kind of smoking crack. I mean, if these three albums hit for you then there's really no comparison.

"Used to be you'd hear from Neil Young or Bruce Springsteen about this or that issue, but they don't use their platforms for anything anymore (unless you count Neil vs. Spotify, but that was more like two brands going at it)."
"Kinda rocks that Springsteen got "The Boss" as a moniker in the early 70s and no one ever successfully challenged him for it since"
"His current girlfriend knows him as the provincial blue collar man who loves ac/dc and Springsteen and is ignorant to his past and she's now having a baby with him, forcing him to commit harder to his new identity."
"I told her that was fine, I'd wait for her at the bar since the bartender and I usually end up talking about Bruce Springsteen, the Bouncing Souls, and Robert Altman for hours whenever I stop by."

"In 2009, walking alone in a street in New Jersey, Dylan was picked up by the cops responding to a local homeowner's call reporting a suspicious-looking character outside. It has been rumoured he was searching for Bruce Springsteen's old ho"
