Jimmy Kimmel’s FULL INTERVIEW with Bruce Springsteen

[gjb]

Bruce is such a loveable down to earth man, America's finest!!

[aasenprivate]

I'm a French teacher. I teach English and still make my students listen to him. When I started they knew him, now many haven't even heard "Born in the USA". But I won't stop making them study this one. And when they can't remember his name, I tell them: just call him"The Boss". This is my crusade. And to answer some comments, Springsteen isn't 70, he is timeless !

[matteoruggieri]

9 years ago you shook my hand before the premiere of the documentary "The Promise" here in Rome. I was there with an old friend of mine (my own Bobby Jean). Every day I can still feel your handshake and it gives me such great joy and energy, especially when I play guitar. I love you Bruce. Your words have changed my life. Hope to see you next year in concert!

[tylerbradfield]

I went to one of his concerts couple years ago cause my dad loves him and....it was intense. This old guy still got it. His energy was off the charts.

[jeannieglickson]

With every interview I see of this man, I like him more. He’s so down to earth and level-headed, an American treasure.

[lolamar]

Wow, i cannot remember the last time Bruce was on a talk show. He is looking great

[mercerville]

I found the film to be a thing of beauty.

An American icon admitting his flaws, paying homage to the Southwest and showing his deep love for his wife. So glad I viewed it at a big screen theater with a good sound system. Such an intimate concert setting at his NJ barn, contrasted with expansive shots of the West.

Bruce is not preaching at all; maybe teaching - those who care to listen - something based on his experiences of heartbreak and discovery.


I left Western Stars singing to myself and feeling more inspired and hopeful.

How many 70 year olds do you know who can continue to surprise us with such creativity?

Long life, Bruce Springsteen. Thank you for sharing the ride.

I've been listening to Bruce since I was a little girl back in the late 70's. I still think he's one of the best songwriters to ever live and the Western Stars documentary was an awesome idea in lieu of touring for the album: 🌟🌟🌟🌟

[ManBiker]

So down to earth and humble. Many of the new artist could learn a lot from this man. Well done Mr. Springsteen. So well done.

[pjr]

I was raised in Monmouth County, NJ in the 60's and 70's. In the late 60's we would sneak into the Wonder Bar and Stone Pony in Asbury Park without being carded and watch Bruce play. He would come off of the stage and sit with us between sets and take a swig of our beer while we talked. We would also go to the Upstage, also in Asbury Park, but they didn't serve liquor so there was no problem getting in. I remember walking out onto the dark streets of the town after the show and not be able to hear for a half an hour, the music was so loud. Today I have constant ringing in my ears due to that time in my life. It is a reminder of Bruce's start in Asbury Park. He is till the BOSS!

[MiKaDo]

I love this man and his music for nearly 40 years.

[jeanbeaton]

I was blessed to be at Bruce's Western Stars presentation in London last year. Surrounded by "suits" I wanted to stand, shout and do the call. Suits sitting next said they noticed I knew all the words of every Western Stars songs. I replied only an idiot wouldn't. My heart nearly burst seeing him come on stage for Q & A. Wanted to jump from balcony and hug him to say thanks for all of his soul he gives us. Bruce (Boss) thank you for giving us "a little human Touch". Right back at you, always. You being here for me/us gives hope in this weird pandemic world. Xx

[deanumk]

I was in a bar in the north east years ago, outkast was playing on the sound system, the dance floor was ful, l everyone was dancing. Bruce came on the system and the entire crowd started singing at the top of their lungs. Awesome memory.

[hippydippy]

He's always so charming & seems so humble with that nervous laugh. Gotta love him.

[ZZ-qkji]

Him and DeNiro have a similar look when they smile.

[itsmewende]

Loved this, I'm 61 an that was my Christmas present too. Been enjoying The Boss for a VERY long time now.

[havensabaini]

Never have I been more envious of Jimmy! Hanging with the Boss and laughing, has been my dream cannot even guess, how many years!

[paulasarvas]

Love his perspective on life and his sense of humor.
