Bruce Springsteen
Andrew Tyler, NME, 15 November 1975
BRUCE SPRINGSTEEN says he just writes down his impressions of stuff whereas here in Hollywood, Calif., there are people in from New York who believe otherwise. They tell you things like "Bruce is purity". Bruce cuts through grime in half the time. Bruce is what America has been praying for ever since Dylan fell off his motorbike and Brando got too fat to be in the motorcade any more.
