Bruce Springsteen recently made his first appearance on the Howard Stern-hosted SiriusXM show.He talked about Clarence Clemons, the saxophonist for the E Street Band, and the particulars of selling the rights to his back catalog.He also talked about his new album of soul covers, Only The Strong Survive.
Springsteen expressed appreciation for starting his career earlier rather than later and made remarks about the current state of the music industry.In his remarks, Springsteen stated to Stern, “I think music has had to share the cultural arena with video games, movies, television, and everything else, everything else you can imagine.”That just took place today.I’ll be honest and say that I’m glad I won’t be doing it today.
The path to musical stardom in the 1960s was clearly different from the current one.Springsteen acknowledges that life was a lot simpler at the time.”We lived in a golden age because of what we did,” he stated.”It is a blessing that you arrived just as the industry transformed into something that no one expected if you were a young guitar player in 1967, 1975, or 1985.”However, I would not want to begin immediately.Whether or not you can make things, I have no idea.Simply put, it’s a different world.
The boss then turned his attention to an artist whose career began in the 21st century but has since become well-known.Springsteen said the following about Taylor Swift and how much he loves her as a father:It has advanced.Essentially, my daughter is a huge Taylor Swift fan.She informed me, “Dad, Taylor Swift has got a banging new record,” as I collected her from the airport.”A potent new album?OK,” I say at the end.She dances while seated and plays it loudest for me from Newark.”That’s what I like to see,” I stated.”It tasted good.
The boss stated that he enjoys Swift’s music, and it appears that Springsteen and Swift have met once or twice.He stated that the album is excellent and that “She has a lot of talent.”I only have a brief acquaintance with her.She writes with grace.So, hey, there are people who produce excellent work and records, and those people continue to be content with those records.That will continue.You are aware already that it will not be the same.That concludes it.
