#Springsteen tidbits…
Bruce was the likely inspiration for the chilling scene in Taxi Driver where Robert DeNiro looks in the mirror and repeatedly asks the question, “You looking at me?” DeNiro had watched Bruce do this bit on stage just a few days before he ad-libbed this scene. #filmsky

#Springsteen biopic Deliver Me From Nowhere begins filming in Asbury Park. Very cool to see a ferris wheel return to Asbury and Cats on a Smooth Surface (house band featuring Patti Scialfa) on the marquee at the Stone Pony! And Bruce himself visited the set at Frank’s Deli.

In 2008, @rollingstone.com.web.brid.gy surveyed a bunch of current musicians for their choices of the best singers in history. Below are Bruce’s choices. Unlike people such as Courtney Love (who put herself #1) and Ozzie Osborne, Bruce did not put himself on the list.
FWIW, Bruce came in at 36

After driving all night, Bruce slid down the open driver’s side door in utter exhaustion. She hopped in the front seat and cheerily exclaimed, “Come on, let’s go shopping, you can buy me some shoes!” A weary Bruce just smiled, wondering to himself, “was it all worth it?”

“What I’ve gotten good at is being able to take a big story and tell it in three minutes.”
- Chuck Plotkin quoting Bruce #Springsteen as told to @hiattb.bsky.social. As Brian writes about Highway Patrolman, Bruce crams “a novel’s worth of narrative into five minutes and thirty-six seconds.”

On this date in 1974, Bruce plays at Camden County College in Blackwood, NJ. Not crazy about the depiction of Bruce here and I don’t know why there appear to be birds flying around his head, but an interesting poster nonetheless.

On this date in 1978, Bruce and the band play the University of Illinois at Champaign as part of the Darkness tour.
Here’s a rave review in the local paper plus a letter to the editor from a rather humorless fellow who objected to Bruce being compared to Superman/God.

On this date in Springsteen history….this very night, 53 years ago, Bruce performs at the Student Prince in Asbury Park, 11/19/1971. Wouldn’t you love to be transported back there for one night to see this show? I would.
