00:00:25,160 --> 00:00:26,960

00:00:27,120 --> 00:00:27,400
Speaker 2: Listen?

10
00:00:27,440 --> 00:00:30,160
Speaker 4: You know I've been a Springsteen fan from day one.

11
00:00:30,440 --> 00:00:33,680
Speaker 4: I've seen him many times, loved his music and everything else.

12
00:00:34,520 --> 00:00:37,960
Speaker 4: But now, after reading the review yesterday in the Times,

13
00:00:38,479 --> 00:00:42,000
Speaker 4: you couldn't pay me to go see him. He has

14
00:00:42,159 --> 00:00:45,519
Speaker 4: really lost his way. Half of the half of the concert.

15
00:00:45,640 --> 00:00:49,680
Speaker 1: He talks well in his defense, in his defense not

16
00:00:49,760 --> 00:00:51,680
Speaker 1: just him, but when you're one of these big superstar

17
00:00:51,800 --> 00:00:55,360
Speaker 1: gods of music seventies and into the eighties, by the

18
00:00:55,360 --> 00:00:59,160
Speaker 1: time it's thirty years later, you can't get hit records anymore.

19
00:00:58,520 --> 00:01:02,080
Speaker 1: You're totally a element. All you are is you can

20
00:01:02,120 --> 00:01:03,840
Speaker 1: do concerts. That's all you can do. You'll be the

21
00:01:03,880 --> 00:01:06,680
Speaker 1: elder statesman doing the concerts. But they can't. They all

22
00:01:06,720 --> 00:01:08,200
Speaker 1: try to get back in the game with a hit

23
00:01:08,280 --> 00:01:11,320
Speaker 1: record or try to latch onto something. Why were you

24
00:01:11,319 --> 00:01:14,039
Speaker 1: a Springsteen fan back then? What was it about this?

25
00:01:14,160 --> 00:01:16,040
Speaker 4: Because I was younger stifty years I was. I'm from

26
00:01:16,120 --> 00:01:17,280
Speaker 4: Jersey of shifty years ago.

27
00:01:17,360 --> 00:01:17,920
Speaker 3: I loved him.

28
00:01:18,000 --> 00:01:20,080
Speaker 4: He was great. I loved his music. I'm an old

29
00:01:20,160 --> 00:01:23,039
Speaker 4: rock and roller. But god, I mean, he goes on

30
00:01:23,280 --> 00:01:25,520
Speaker 4: and if you read the review, I told my wife,

31
00:01:25,560 --> 00:01:27,760
Speaker 4: my wife is going with her girlfriend. I wouldn't go.

32
00:01:28,000 --> 00:01:32,039
Speaker 4: She's going in April. Yeah, I said. Now, I'm definitely convinced.

33
00:01:32,280 --> 00:01:33,720
Speaker 4: I wouldn't go. I wouldn't, couldn't.

34
00:01:33,760 --> 00:01:37,160
Speaker 1: But even back then it was great musically, But those

35
00:01:37,160 --> 00:01:41,040
Speaker 1: songs born to run jungle Land, yelling and screaming. What

36
00:01:41,080 --> 00:01:43,039
Speaker 1: the hell was he actually singing about? I still don't know.

37
00:01:44,920 --> 00:01:46,600
Speaker 4: I don't know. It's just the way I was. It

38
00:01:46,680 --> 00:01:48,000
Speaker 4: was just my generation.

39
00:01:48,120 --> 00:01:48,920
Speaker 5: I guess that's all right.

40
00:01:48,960 --> 00:01:50,800
Speaker 1: But what was he singing about?

41
00:01:51,400 --> 00:01:54,720
Speaker 4: Well, you have car I have cars and and girls

42
00:01:54,800 --> 00:01:57,440
Speaker 4: and working hard and work, you know, trying to get ahead.

43
00:01:58,520 --> 00:02:00,280
Speaker 1: Listen to the Beatles, I want to hold your hand.

44
00:02:00,280 --> 00:02:04,520
Speaker 1: I can understand that song, Michelle my Bell, I understand that.

45
00:02:04,600 --> 00:02:07,360
Speaker 1: But down in jungle Land, what was he singing? What

46
00:02:07,440 --> 00:02:08,239
Speaker 1: that was that all about?

47
00:02:08,240 --> 00:02:08,320
Speaker 2: That?

48
00:02:08,560 --> 00:02:10,960
Speaker 4: Well, you know the struggle life's struggle, and he never

49
00:02:11,000 --> 00:02:13,280
Speaker 4: really he struggled a little bit, and then he hasn't

50
00:02:13,320 --> 00:02:15,359
Speaker 4: struggled in forty five years.

51
00:02:15,760 --> 00:02:18,239
Speaker 1: Yeah, but life's struggle. I don't know just I mean,

52
00:02:18,560 --> 00:02:20,800
Speaker 1: all right, it's not just you. A lot of people

53
00:02:20,800 --> 00:02:23,040
Speaker 1: love Springsteen Bank then I never quite got it.

54
00:02:23,080 --> 00:02:24,760
Speaker 4: But I tell you a lot of people I know

55
00:02:24,880 --> 00:02:27,480
Speaker 4: are really not happy with him at all. A lot

56
00:02:27,480 --> 00:02:30,639
Speaker 4: of people I feel the same way about I am

57
00:02:30,919 --> 00:02:32,760
Speaker 4: about the way he used to be.

58
00:02:32,840 --> 00:02:36,480
Speaker 1: That there's that old expression, there's no fool like an

59
00:02:36,520 --> 00:02:37,080
Speaker 1: old fool.

60
00:02:38,639 --> 00:02:40,919
Speaker 4: He's a poster.

61
00:02:40,720 --> 00:02:42,920
Speaker 1: Boy for it. Yeah, that's the other thing, you know.

62
00:02:44,040 --> 00:02:47,720
Speaker 1: I guess when he started and he wore those you know,

63
00:02:47,760 --> 00:02:50,240
Speaker 1: those T shirts and what's that stuff around his wrist,

64
00:02:50,280 --> 00:02:54,360
Speaker 1: those wristbands and the motorcycle boots and the jeans, and

65
00:02:54,400 --> 00:02:56,320
Speaker 1: he said, but back then he was twenty five riding

66
00:02:56,320 --> 00:02:59,519
Speaker 1: the motorcycle. He's now an eighty year old, multi, multi

67
00:02:59,639 --> 00:03:02,760
Speaker 1: multi millionaire. You don't need to wear all that stuff.

68
00:03:03,000 --> 00:03:03,200
Speaker 2: You know.

69
00:03:03,240 --> 00:03:05,279
Speaker 1: He acts like he's about to jump on a motorcycle

70
00:03:05,360 --> 00:03:08,440
Speaker 1: any moment, and he need like an orthopedic seat on

71
00:03:08,520 --> 00:03:12,200
Speaker 1: the motorcycle nowadays. Let's go to rich In Myrtle Beach, Rich.

72
00:03:12,240 --> 00:03:12,800
Speaker 1: How you doing?

73
00:03:13,840 --> 00:03:15,680
Speaker 2: Hey? Thanks Mark. You know he brought up a good

74
00:03:15,720 --> 00:03:19,080
Speaker 2: point here, Bruce Springsteen. They're using a Bruce Springsteen song

75
00:03:19,200 --> 00:03:23,320
Speaker 2: born in the USA for the ACLU commercials. I'm singing

76
00:03:23,360 --> 00:03:27,400
Speaker 2: on Fox News this morning on TV about protect birthright

77
00:03:27,480 --> 00:03:30,320
Speaker 2: citizenship and has showing all these immigrants who were born

78
00:03:30,360 --> 00:03:33,720
Speaker 2: in the USA playing his lousy music. And another band

79
00:03:33,760 --> 00:03:35,760
Speaker 2: that used to preach to everybody. I quit going to

80
00:03:35,760 --> 00:03:38,920
Speaker 2: see Cosy Still Snash thirty years ago because all they

81
00:03:38,960 --> 00:03:41,720
Speaker 2: did was preaching, lecture you on being a lunatic and

82
00:03:41,720 --> 00:03:42,280
Speaker 2: stuff like that.

83
00:03:42,400 --> 00:03:45,480
Speaker 1: Okay, but that they were like Woodstock type hippies back then.

84
00:03:45,520 --> 00:03:48,080
Speaker 1: They're supposed to do that. But it's now twenty twenty

85
00:03:48,120 --> 00:03:51,520
Speaker 1: six and Bruce Springsteen, I mean, be honest, did you've

86
00:03:51,520 --> 00:03:54,080
Speaker 1: listened to all those music? Right? What can you understand

87
00:03:54,160 --> 00:03:55,120
Speaker 1: half the things he's singing?

88
00:03:56,400 --> 00:03:58,720
Speaker 2: No, I never got Bruce Springsteen. I never got Dave

89
00:03:58,800 --> 00:04:01,120
Speaker 2: Matthews either, you know, I can't from the Beatles generation,

90
00:04:01,280 --> 00:04:04,680
Speaker 2: the motown, I mean, the sixties, seventies, early eighties was

91
00:04:04,720 --> 00:04:07,040
Speaker 2: great music. And then you know the old time country.

92
00:04:07,160 --> 00:04:09,960
Speaker 2: This new country is brutal too. That's no good. Yeah,

93
00:04:09,960 --> 00:04:12,840
Speaker 2: I mean good, but I know exactly. Here's one to

94
00:04:12,840 --> 00:04:17,160
Speaker 2: remember this Marcus Sopranos, when Chris's girlfriend Adriana has her

95
00:04:17,320 --> 00:04:20,240
Speaker 2: old high school boyfriend with his band and they're in

96
00:04:20,240 --> 00:04:23,599
Speaker 2: the studio playing the same drudge over and over again,

97
00:04:23,640 --> 00:04:26,440
Speaker 2: and then producer says, how come you can't play something

98
00:04:26,440 --> 00:04:28,119
Speaker 2: with a hook like I want to hold your hand?

99
00:04:28,440 --> 00:04:30,480
Speaker 2: It starts with the hook, and you guys do something

100
00:04:30,480 --> 00:04:30,839
Speaker 2: about that.

101
00:04:31,279 --> 00:04:33,520
Speaker 1: Yeah, well, Springs he could do it. Dancing in the

102
00:04:33,600 --> 00:04:37,640
Speaker 1: dark had a great hook and uh, yep, hey, and

103
00:04:37,720 --> 00:04:40,320
Speaker 1: I was a DJ. I remember we'd played jungle Land.

104
00:04:40,360 --> 00:04:42,040
Speaker 1: You know why because it was like twelve minutes. It

105
00:04:42,120 --> 00:04:44,920
Speaker 1: was a back then, it was a way you could

106
00:04:44,920 --> 00:04:48,120
Speaker 1: go to the men's room. But thanks for calling. Let's

107
00:04:48,160 --> 00:04:53,360
Speaker 1: go to Mike in Florida. Mike, how you doing, good morning, Mark, Yes, Mike.

108
00:04:54,160 --> 00:04:57,320
Speaker 5: Let's they called that botox is live in Springsteen's brain.

109
00:04:57,160 --> 00:05:00,000
Speaker 1: Why do people keep saying at botox or plastic surgery.

110
00:05:00,120 --> 00:05:03,159
Speaker 5: He look at him. He looks like he's stretched like

111
00:05:03,200 --> 00:05:10,720
Speaker 5: a drumskin stretched over a.

112
00:05:08,279 --> 00:05:10,200
Speaker 1: I think the guy's entitled to a refund. He looks

113
00:05:10,240 --> 00:05:11,160
Speaker 1: even older.

114
00:05:10,800 --> 00:05:14,880
Speaker 5: Now, I think so. I had a quick sixty minute

115
00:05:14,880 --> 00:05:18,159
Speaker 5: story when I worked over at the CBS studios over there.

116
00:05:18,160 --> 00:05:20,839
Speaker 5: Every late in the week on Thursday Friday night, there'd

117
00:05:20,880 --> 00:05:24,599
Speaker 5: be a studio set up all dark with an easel

118
00:05:24,960 --> 00:05:26,680
Speaker 5: lit and that's where they shot the clock.

119
00:05:27,080 --> 00:05:27,320
Speaker 1: Yeah.

120
00:05:27,520 --> 00:05:30,479
Speaker 5: They shot it live every every week for the show

121
00:05:30,560 --> 00:05:31,120
Speaker 5: on Sunday.

122
00:05:31,640 --> 00:05:34,240
Speaker 1: Yeah, well it was back then. It was a great show.

123
00:05:34,279 --> 00:05:38,560
Speaker 1: Mike Wallace, Morley Safer, who am I? Who else? Harry Reasoner,

124
00:05:38,960 --> 00:05:39,880
Speaker 1: Kenny Yeah.

125
00:05:40,680 --> 00:05:43,680
Speaker 5: Yeah, you'd see those guys doddling around the studio every

126
00:05:43,680 --> 00:05:45,760
Speaker 5: once in a while. It would be like Loyalty walking by,

127
00:05:45,839 --> 00:05:48,080
Speaker 5: you know, everybody would be in hushed tones as they

128
00:05:48,080 --> 00:05:48,520
Speaker 5: walked by.

129
00:05:49,400 --> 00:05:51,600
Speaker 1: Yeah, well, I love Mike Wallace was a great friend

130
00:05:51,600 --> 00:05:56,120
Speaker 1: and he was one of our most a little crusty,

131
00:05:56,200 --> 00:05:59,599
Speaker 1: but yeah, all right, thanks for calling you, Mike Wallace.

132
00:05:59,640 --> 00:06:01,280
Speaker 1: He was one of our most regular guests on the

133
00:06:01,320 --> 00:06:03,600
Speaker 1: show for a million years. We used to have Andy

134
00:06:03,680 --> 00:06:05,560
Speaker 1: Rooney on all the time, although he couldn't stand me.

135
00:06:05,600 --> 00:06:10,440
Speaker 1: I don't know, I don't exactly why, but he'd always

136
00:06:10,520 --> 00:06:12,800
Speaker 1: yell at me. And then Memory refused to come on

137
00:06:12,839 --> 00:06:15,839
Speaker 1: the air for a while, and then Mike Wallace convinced

138
00:06:15,839 --> 00:06:17,159
Speaker 1: that me he had to come back on the air,

139
00:06:17,200 --> 00:06:19,320
Speaker 1: and every time he commanding him. Only here because Mike

140
00:06:19,360 --> 00:06:22,320
Speaker 1: Wallace is making me do this. But they were great.

141
00:06:22,560 --> 00:06:25,840
Speaker 1: I mean they were like legends. Now, who's the guy?

142
00:06:26,279 --> 00:06:28,039
Speaker 1: You don't even know who these people are anymore. But

143
00:06:28,120 --> 00:06:29,800
Speaker 1: got to remember back then it was the number one

144
00:06:29,800 --> 00:06:33,720
Speaker 1: show in television. It's like sixty five million people watching it,

145
00:06:34,279 --> 00:06:37,600
Speaker 1: and you could afford to send a crew, you know,

146
00:06:37,760 --> 00:06:40,599
Speaker 1: to Antarctica to do a story. If you watch it now,

147
00:06:41,560 --> 00:06:43,880
Speaker 1: you could see they've been cutbacks. It's this tiny audience.

148
00:06:43,920 --> 00:06:47,840
Speaker 1: So if they're doing a story, it's about something in

149
00:06:47,960 --> 00:06:50,720
Speaker 1: Nayak where the crew could drive up there for an

150
00:06:50,720 --> 00:06:52,400
Speaker 1: hour and come right back. They don't have to spend

151
00:06:52,480 --> 00:06:55,120
Speaker 1: money on planes, hotels or any of that. Let's go

152
00:06:55,200 --> 00:06:58,960
Speaker 1: to Bill in Pennsylvania. Bill, how you doing Hi? Hi?

153
00:06:59,200 --> 00:06:59,479
Speaker 3: Mark?

154
00:07:00,120 --> 00:07:03,120
Speaker 1: Yeah, you know, Charles was mister a happy hour here.

155
00:07:03,680 --> 00:07:04,840
Speaker 5: Huh.

156
00:07:04,880 --> 00:07:08,240
Speaker 3: I'm sorry, I'm my throat's going out. I hope I

157
00:07:08,279 --> 00:07:12,960
Speaker 3: can speak. Yeah, yeah, I spent about a month working
