Happy birthday Bruce Springsteen! The musician is entering his seventh decade at peak creative strength. Here’s robsheff's tribute to his saga so far
in 1992, “I just felt kind of ‘Bruced’ out. I was like, ‘Whoa, enough of that.’ You end up creating this sort of icon, and eventually it oppresses you.” He fired the E Street Band, like Prospero breaking his wand at the end of. He moved to Hollywood, the last place his fans pictured him, as far from “The River” as he could run.
But right on schedule, just as he was facing his fifties, he had a revelation that it was time to go back east. Like so many revelations, this one involved Joni Mitchell. One night in 1998, he saw an ad in the paper for a triple bill in San Jose featuring Joni, Bob Dylan, and Van Morrison. He took his 72-year-old mom — and when he saw what a blast she had, along with the rest of the crowd, he realized it was time to get the band back together, just in time for his Hall of Fame induction.
