American politics had been tremendously distorted throughout by the information said the singer-song writer.

Springsteen has won Grammy as well as an Oscar awards,seemingly blamed wealthy lobbyists in Washington for impeding the reform agenda of President Mr Obama.

Springsteen said that the present political climate in America is not the best of all .In fact, he went as far as to say that it was very, very ugly, and that it was not at all conducive to implementing reform.

Springsteen is no stranger to political activity. He also voiced his criticism of Ronald Reagan for rallying voters for the Republicans by using his own name in the 1980s.

Springsteen Will Appear on 'Late Night With Jimmy Fallon'


In support of the new Darkness On The Edge of Town box set when he performs on Late Night With Jimmy Fallon, he will only make his schedule TV appearance on Tuesday.It is still ambiguous that who will backed him up: The E Street Band or the Late Night house band The Roots.It may be difficult to imagine Springsteen playing with ?uestlove and Black Thought, but in the past year and a half the incredibly versatile group has played with everybody from Paul Simon and Christopher Cross to Weird Al Yankovic.


It's not uncommon for acts to play one song with their own band and a second one with The Roots to be posted on Fallon's website — so Springsteen may wind up performing with both acts. Songs like "Badlands" and "Adam Raised A Cain" are difficult to imagine being played with The Roots, but newly released R&B influenced Darkness outtakes like "Talk To Me" could be amazing.

At TIFF Edward Norton onstage interview with Bruce Springsteen

At TIFF Actor Edward Norton will interview rocker Bruce Springsteen onstage next month, Rolling Stone reports.

By the Toronto International Film Festival the event hasn't been confirmed, but Springsteen is expected to be in town for the Gala world premiere at Roy Thomson Hall of The Promise: The Making of Darkness on the Edge of Town, a documentary of the behind the scenes drama surrounding his landmark 1978 album. The date of the Gala hasn’t yet been announced.

At TIFF the interview would most probably be part of a separate event. A great bet is the Mavericks section, run by documentary programmer Thom Powers, in which filmmakers talk about their work.

Springsteen collaborated on The Promise with director Thom Zimny, making available previously unreleased videotapes and recordings of the album sessions.

Fight Club actor Norton, who is also a political activist, is a fan and pal of The Boss. He helped conscript him to campaign for Barack Obama during the 2007-08 presidential campaign.

“He’s a friend,” Norton told Vanity Fair last fall.

“You can be totally un-objective about Bruce. Even (Ronald) Reagan was!”

Norton attending the second night of back-to-back Springsteen concerts at New York’s Madison Square Garden last November.

Bruce Springsteen fan loses cancer fight


Bruce Springsteen's Working On A Dream tour was a dream come true for Shane Boyd Cowden.
The fact that the 32 year old Chatham man got to meet his idol and hear him perform live before he died offers comfort to his mother Colleen Boyd.
In Toronto the 2009 concert, which Colleen and Springsteen fans from around the world fought to get Shane tickets for, was the highlight of his life.
"After he was diagnosed (with cancer), it was on my bucket list for him," Colleen said. "That would be the top of the list."
She said her son, who died Tuesday, was autistic and had physical and developmental challenges.
Her battle to get him tickets to Springsteen's concert, after being told by Ticketmaster that there weren't any handicapped seats available, touched the community.
She was moved by the impact of the publicity and how fans from across the globe rallied to make sure Shane's dream came true.
"Usually someone with multiple disabilities is invisible," she said. "Everybody saw who he was."
Not only did Shane get to watch the concert, which kept him at the edge of his seat, he also met Springsteen before the show.

Springsteen, Pinsky team up at NJ festival

MADISON, N.J. — Robert Pinsky and Bruce Springsteen apparently have more in common than just a way with words — they can trace the beginnings of their glory days all the way back to the same hospital at the New Jersey shore.
The former U.S. poet laureate and the unofficial poet laureate of rock 'n' roll appeared on stage Thursday at Fairleigh Dickinson University, where they discussed their work, influences and careers and joked about the fact both were born at Monmouth Memorial Hospital, albeit nine years apart (Pinsky is older).
The occasion was the university's WAMFEST Words and Music Festival, an event sponsored by its creative writing department. Recording artist John Wesley Harding, nee Wesley Stace, an artist in residence at the school, moderated the two-hour performance and discussion in front of a packed auditorium of 400 students, faculty and whoever else could wangle a way in the door.
Springsteen and Pinsky had met for the first time on Thursday, Harding said, but their affinity for each other's work was obvious.
"What I've been trying to write about for 40 years, Robert gets into a single poem," Springsteen said.
Both spoke fondly of their home state, though in different ways. Pinsky, who grew up in "not the greatest part of Long Branch" and now lives in western Massachusetts, realized after he moved to California that he missed the Garden State's speech patterns and sarcasm; Springsteen dreamed of getting out of New Jersey as a youth but later came to find meaning in "a certain plot of ground, a certain place" after his work became more introspective.
Springsteen recalled being influenced by, of all people, Frank Sinatra for the way his songs resonated with everyday people.
"He sang colloquially, the way people speak," he said. "The minute the needle goes down on the record, a world is summoned up. I wanted to catalog my times in that way."
The two men, joined at times by Harding, performed their works separately and together. Pinsky's poem "Shirt" segued into Springsteen's "The River," and Springsteen read Pinsky's "Samurai Song" as a prelude to his own "Darkness on the Edge of Town," played on 12-string guitar.
Springsteen also performed "Promised Land," "Nebraska" and "Born to Run," and he joked that "you have to be careful if you're a songwriter reading poetry, because the temptation to steal is ever present."
Both spoke about how their art has evolved as they've grown older, and Pinsky said while self-doubt never completely disappears the experience of living provides a constant source of material.
"All the main issues of making art remain the same," he said. "Fortunately there are always new things to think about."

Glenn Beck Finally Gets Around To Denouncing Bruce Springsteen

You wouldn't think this was possible, but Glenn Beck had apparently never actually sat down and listened to Bruce Springsteen's "Born In The USA," never heard the lyrics, never formed a familiarity with the song's storied history in American politics, until this week, I guess? Anyway, now that he's heard that the song isn't some glorious tongue-bath to American exceptionalism, he's denouncing it on the radio. Per Lindsay Beyerstein:

Twenty-six years after the release of Bruce Springsteen's hit song, "Born in The USA," conservative talk show host/performance artist Glenn Beck finally got around to listening to the lyrics.

Beck was shocked, shocked to discover that for all these years he'd been rocking out to a song about a bitter down-and-out Vietnam vet who has been kicked to the curb by the aforementioned USA.

Bruce Springsteen, Elvis Costello close out 'Spectacle' series with a nearly 5-hour bang

Elvis Costello's "Spectacle" series plays what will very likely be its final notes Wednesday, and it goes out with a roar: the second part of Costello's interview/jam session with Bruce Springsteen.
"This is probably the last time I'll do this," Costello said the night they taped the show at the Apollo Theater. "So I'm going to have the time of my life."


To say Costello looked like he was running on empty that night would be inaccurate.
To say he looked like he was running on adrenalin would not.


Fortunately, adrenalin is strong stuff, and he sailed right through a session that was scheduled for about two and a half hours and ran almost twice that.



As anyone who has ever attended a Bruce Springsteen concert knows, Bruce's brand of adrenalin tends to keep him rocking almost indefinitely.



The Springsteen evening yielded enough material for two parts, which show a comfortable Springsteen talking about his career, his music and the art of music.
