Bruce is a great writer and showman. He isn't a monstrous guitarist, but Nils Lofgren and Steve Van Zant are.

I never knew Bruce Springsteen was such a nice down to earth bloke. I saw him on another video where he told a story about making friends with a kid at a cinema and going back to his house meet the kids mom and they had eggs. The kid went to get his album to show his mom it was really him. I’d only ever seen him on stage before. Such a cool fella.❤

I am from NJ. I lived in Belmar until 1990. I moved south after they closed the bar I was working at for 7 years. Mary's Husband's Pub. I met Bruce a few times. Nice guy. The last time I said hi was in a club on Palm Beach. Clarence used to play there. Bruce showed up one night and played. That was in the late 90s.

@@Vivarius_RLPBY Testosterone therapy helps with preventing belly fat and muscular degeneration and all sorts of issues with aging. It also certainly helps to have a workout routine. Most men's T levels drop as they age. At least outwardly, the aging process slows for many who use this therapy. I am lucky to have access to this treatment.

I believe the body was originally an Esquire, which has just one pup in the bridge (no neck pup). However, all Teles are routed for neck pups, so adding one is no big deal, which is what Bruce did with this Esquire, making it a Telecaster.
