Howard Stern: I Just Wanted Bruce Springsteen To Have A Good Time

[tomasandersongallagher]

I returned from Vietnam in the early 70's, back to the Jersey Shore that helped me heal. Bruce's music brought me out of some dark places. Muchisimas gracias

[carieevans]

I freakin LOVE Howard, no matter how many ppl have turned their backs on him. Also, Bruce looks great!

[susanavilez]

Always remember how much Tim Russert loved Springsteen.

[americanpancakelive]

I love Howard, I love Bruce. I cannot wait to see this.

[sanchoproudfoot]

This was probably the best hour of Morning Joe ever!

[johndowner]

Never thought I would see the day when Joe and Howard talk to each other. 👍👌

[patlalla]

Howard Stern has grown so much. What a great piece MSNBC.

I remember the interview of Bruce with president Obama. Also amazing friendship.

[AndiDuck]

I couldn't tell what I felt
I was unrecognizable to myself
Saw my reflection in a window
And didn't know my own face
Oh brother are you gonna leave me wastin' away On the streets of Philadelphia

Ain't no angel gonna greet me
It's just you and I my friend
And my clothes don't fit me no more A thousand miles just to slip this skin

Streets of Philadelphia
Bruce Springsteen

Always makes me cry.

With no doubt the Best interview from the Morning Joe. So much detail. Thanks Howard. Thanks Joe and Willie.

The first concert I saw was Bruce circa 1978. It was the Darkness on the Edge of Town tour. I really wasn't familiar with him but a good friend was a fan and took me along. He played for over 3 hours till the band literally carried him off stage. I was in awe. Almost 50 years and hundreds of concerts later I've never been to a better or more impactful one.

You just became one of my fav fans. Anyone that loves real rock and Bruce is pretty good in my books. Thanks for putting something good out to the listening world...during this time when we are bombarded with so much hatred, mass shootings, conspiracy BS, and just pure evil people. The world needs some good ole lovin' right now and no one does it better than Bruce.

This interview was the perfect company for a long drive across the desert when I tuned in. It was a real treat to hear the story and feel the humanity behind the celebrity. The pureness of the music connected well with the dialog in a non scripted setting, as well. Howard was the right person for this honor to share the life of an American legend with all of us.

I love all of this, Joe, Bruce, and Howard! So dope! 🔥

I saw Springsteen on his first tour playing at Red Rocks on a full moon. Then again years later I saw him play Tampa with seats in the pit. God Bless thee E Street Band and Bruce. Phenomenal shows I will never forget them.

I never thought much about Howard Stern one way or another, but this made me want to most definitely want to see his interview with Bruce Springsteen. Thank you.

As Howard said in the interview, it seems a lot of people had one parent who might not think they could amount to much in life. As one who grew up in the 1960s, another person that I think would have been a fascinating interview (if still alive) would be Sonny Bono. He said in his 1992 autobiography that his dad never told him or his 2 sisters that he loved them & he was close to his mom. Sonny said he always made sure he told his kids that he loved them. He also had to start at the bottom because he never learned to read music but wrote 10 Gold records & 5 Top 10 songs. He just had the determination to make it work. He wrote the song "Laugh At Me" in a day & played on the radio the next day because of bullying treatment he & Cher got at a restaurant. Both Bruce seems & Sonny seemed humble & accomplished in life's endeavors.

Howard is the best interviewer in the usa

Bruce Springsteen is the modern American bard and storyteller. My most favorite Springsteen piece is not even a song, although all of his are spectacular. What resonates most strongly for me is the story he tells in his 1985 live concert album about how he got rejected at the draft board and what is father said when he got home. The way he tells the story is amazing.
