Bruce Springsteen, quoted in Rock legend Bruce Springsteen still plays to the audience (USATODAY) The Boss also points out that his 17 year old son, Evan, 17, “likes political punk: Rise Against, Against Me, Rage Against the Machine, … He’ll take me to shows with him sometimes, which is nice. He doesn’t stand with me. He’s usually in the mosh pit or something.” [Emphasis mine - and yes, it makes me feel a tad better to know that even Springsteen only commands a limited admission of affiliation from his 17 year old son]
It’s a nicely written article with little new information for anyone who has been even casually followed Springsteen’s career. While I did learn one specific fact - “I buy CDs all the time. I’ll go into a record store and just buy $500 worth of CDs. I will! I am singlehandedly supporting what’s left of the record business.” His iPod selections include “everything from old American music and old jazz to a lot of new stuff.” - his personal support of the record industry is hardly surprising.
