could be a bit of a hypocrite, you know, if you re consistently evoking the ideas of young people, of bouncing off the ideas of young people, taking young people s money and putting it in your pocket, you know. and really what you are is you re a middle-aged family man. and it s only the hypocrisy that i m worried about. bruce springsteen was trying to reclaim the soul of rock n roll by going back to basics. using elements from the past that were kind of being discarded at that point. using a sound that was not what was on the radio and was not what was mainstream rock. bruce springsteen created his own counter-culture. it just speaks exactly to the american spirit. you couldn t hit it on the head

Gritty novelty business. it was not the center of the world in the 50s and 60s. in the 70s it becomes the main event. that has repercussions in all sorts of positive and negative ways. the total cost of this tour is $3.5 million. now the gross of the tour is in the region of $11 million. so yeah, it s a living. it was so decadent and over the top and money just whoo being thrown against the wall. feel like a hypocrite, if you are consistently invoking the ideas of young people and bouncing off the ideas of young people, taking young people s money and putting it in your pocket and really what you are is a middle-aged family man. it is only the hypocrisy that i m worried about. bruce springsteen was trying to reclaim the soul of rock n roll by going back to basics. using elements from the past
