July 4, 2023: Far Out Magazine: The early resentment between Aerosmith and Bruce Springsteen
While some listeners might not have clicked with the ‘Bad Boys From Boston’, the band thought their label, Columbia Records, had a bit of a different plan. Instead of promoting their unique brand of rock and roll, Aerosmith’s debut album came out at the same time as Bruce Springsteen’s debut. As guitarist Joe Perry remembered in his book, Rocks: “Springsteen was tailor-made for Columbia. He came out of the Dylan tradition. The public was ready for a rock hero with Bruce’s look and sound. We got the idea that Columbia didn’t think the public was ready for us”.

Dec 9, 2022: NPR: Bruce Springsteen channels soul music's icons on 'Only the Strong Survive'
Bruce Springsteen has a lot of fans. He's referred to as a legend, an icon, the biggest rock star alive right now. So maybe that's why it's so much fun to hear him turn into the fan on his 21st studio album, Only the Strong Survive.

Nov 23, 2022: USA Today: Bruce Springsteen talks his new album and the 'constant issue' of concert ticket prices
Bruce Springsteen is changing his tune with a new album of soul covers, “Only the Strong Survive,” and it sounds great.
The Boss breaks out into falsettos, vibratos and sustained notes aplenty. At a time in life when a rock singer’s voice usually diminishes, Springsteen’s is coming on “Strong.”

March 25, 2015: 30 Days Out: New Release: “Nassau Coliseum, New York 1980” – Bruce Springsteen & the E Street Band
I have heard this show on E Street Radio and it’s a classic. It’s the show that gave us the “War” B-side, “Merry Christmas, Baby” and the “Hungry Heart” B-side, “Held Up Without A Gun” and features a 16-minute version of “Rosalita” and a bunch of tunes off The River. I will be downloading tonight.

Sept 23, 2013: Us Weekly : Bruce Springsteen Shows Off Chiseled Beach Body, Celebrates 64th Birthday
12.06.12
Bruce Springsteen is an incontrovertible force of nature — nothing short of that could make 16,000 people drive to Anaheim in rush hour on a Tuesday. All around the world Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band have been marching, but on Tuesday, the tour took a second 2012 spin through Southern California, transforming Anaheim's Honda Center into the Bossiest place on Earth............Wrecking Ball is the band's first tour since Clarence Clemons' death in June 2011. A founding member of the band (and one of the three most important people in the world) the "big man" was given a mid-song tribute during "Tenth Avenue Freeze Out" complete with a sad, through-the-years slideshow and a brightly-lit cheering ovation. How big was the "big man?" An entire horn section was installed to stand his ground. Included is Clemons' nephew, Jake Clemons, who has been tasked with preserving the rock-sax legacy with an ever-growing collection of precision solo reenactments............Nils Lofgren's superhuman solo on "Because the Night" was the kind of performance that suggests he was just humoring accomplished guest stars Tom Morello and Mike Ness by allowing them spotlight time. Springsteen had a "Star's They're Just Like Us" moment trying to remember the chords for "Long Time Comin,'" the crowd got a dose of the musical buddy comedy that is "Darlington County," and a Magic-era reworking of Nebraska's "Reason To Believe," gave us all one.
