Bruce Springsteen, fondly called “the Boss,” has seen a big comeback in his popularity lately. It all started with his hit Broadway show in 2017, which later became a Netflix documentary. Then in 2021, he hit the road for a big tour with his famous E Street Band.
Even though ticket prices were high, mainly because of Ticketmaster’s pricing tricks, Springsteen’s tour got lots of praise from critics. Fans, even if they grumbled about the costs, still love Springsteen.
One special moment in 2012 shows Springsteen’s lasting charm. He invited a young fan to sing with him during a song called “Waitin’ on a Sunny Day,” something he’s done before to show his hope in the younger crowd.
Fans often share these touching stories online, like user 42awww, showing how much these moments mean to them. These stories remind us of Springsteen’s kindness, even though ticket prices are a problem.
Recently, the fanzine Backstreets, a big part of the Springsteen fan community for 43 years, announced it was closing. It’s not because of Springsteen, but because of Ticketmaster’s control over ticket sales, showing bigger issues in the industry.
But despite these challenges, Springsteen’s live shows still prove his amazing talent and his love for his fans. His legacy goes way beyond his music, touching the hearts of all who admire him.
