GOSSIP:
|
- Is sued for $850,000 by an Olympic equestrian claims he backed out of a contract to buy a horse. (October 5, 2007)
- Has posted a message on his website to dismiss the New York Post’s allegations that he and wife Patti Scialfa are on the verge of getting divorced and that he has been seeing a red headed 9/11 widow he met at the “Tribute To Heroes” Benefit in 2001. (August 29, 2006)
- On his recent tours, front-row tickets have not been sold to the public. Instead, the so-called Man in Black, a member of Springsteen's road crew, goes into the crowd shortly before showtime, plucks out fans from the worst seats in the arena and upgrades them to the front row.
- In 2004 radio station 88.5 WXPN performed the 885 greatest songs ever, though they mostly just did rock (Mozart wasn't on the list) and Springsteen won first place with Thunder Road, Born to Run following at number six and then many other songs scattered throughout.
- In fall of 2004 he participated in the Vote for Change concert tour organized to encourage the defeat of George W. Bush in the U.S. presidential election, an effort that ultimately fell short as Bush was re-elected on November 2, 2004.
- Is America's biggest entertainment earner of 2003 after raking in over $115 million from tour dates.
- Lost his bid to evict a fan club from an internet website sporting his name. Arbitrators for the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO) decided Wednesday that Canadian Jeff Burgar and the Bruce Springsteen Club had not violated the New Jersey musician's rights by registering the website brucespringsteen.com. (2001)
- Says his favorite film as a kid was THE SEARCHERS (1956).
- Inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1999, where Bono of U2 gave the induction speech. When U2 was inducted in 2005, Springsteen gave their induction speech, returning the favor.
- Inducted into the Songwriters Hall of Fame (1999)
- Appeared on the covers of both Time and Newsweek magazine simultaneously. At that time this only happened to world leaders. (October 27, 1975)
- Considered becoming a baseball player prior to devoting himself to music.
- Many of his earlier songs make reference to the New Jersey shore, where he spent his youth.
- Paul Schrader asked Springsteen to write a title song for a movie he had written called Born in the USA. After Springsteen wrote it, he liked the song so much, he used for his multi-platinum album of the same name instead. As a replacement, Springsteen wrote another song and that song title became the film's new title, Light of Day (1987). That is why Springsteen thanks Schrader in the liner notes of the album.
- Frequently works with director John Sayles, a fellow Jerseyite who shares a similar social conscience.
