The fan Bruce is speaking of was named Steve. What Bruce did not mention is that while driving to meet Steve's parents, Steve put a bootleg tape of one of Bruce's concerts into his eight-track player and began to sing along, turning to Bruce and asking him to join with the chorus. Essentially they created carpool karaoke a few decades before James Corden. Steve suffered from diabetes and after a kidney transplant, a heart bypass, and other surgeries he passed away in October of 2003. Bruce continued to visit Steve's mom when in St. Louis (sadly Steve's dad died the year after meeting Bruce).
St. Louisan here. Is this story in an article somewhere? It sure is a cool experience for this fan.
I don’t doubt Bruce would do something like this, but…….
Source?
@@andjulia9292 Sure, you can read about it in the book Bruce Springsteen: The Day I Was There by Neil Cossar
@@Bluesbabesrv Source!? You don't doubt Bruce, yet you question him!? He is the source!
Amazing! Thanks for sharing.
Because I'm from New Jersey, I have dozens of Springsteen stories. A newspaper colleague of mine told me about the son of a friend who was entering Boston College and ended up as a roommate of one of Bruce's kids. During orientation week, the parents of the kids in the dorm agreed to go to lunch. Of course, Bruce and Patty went. One of the parents said we're all paying for our meals because she knew Bruce would spring for all of them. Once they sat down, Bruce said, "I think you all know what i do for a living, but what do you do?" When the check came, Bruce had already paid it. When one of the parents said they had agreed to split the bill, Bruce said, "I didn't pay the bill; rock 'n' roll paid it."
"Let me make him some eggs." A true mom. Born To Scramble. And Bruce is a true dad.
I was working security in Paris for the Amnesty International Concert 1998.I had been on duty since 05:00,The weather was terrible, The boss showed up around 17:00, got out of the vehicle on the wrong side , straight into the crowd of fans, whom immediatley swarmded on him, Jerry his CPO was on the other side of barrier, I stepped in , explaned the situation, He said quite calmly, he would sign a few autographs and a photo or two. Which he did, remember it was pouring with rain, I managed to get him to the stage entrance, where he thanked me ,offered me a slug of bourbon , also asked how long I had been there and if I had eaten ? 10 minutes later a coffee and large club sandwich appeared. What a total Gent.
That's an awesome story,love hearing how he loved his fans and seems to be so down to earth. Don't believe I've heard of any other artists that go to the lengths that Bruce did to reach out to his fans,he is THE BOSS...awesome!Thanks for your story.

Here's my Bruce story. In 1984 I lived in Red Bank NJ, and during that summer Bruce and the band were practicing for the upcoming Giants Stadium concert at Big Man's West on Monmouth St, which was Clarence Clemons' rock club. As I walked by there were a few dozen folks sitting and standing on the pavement listening to the music coming from the club. I hung out an hour or so, then one by one some of the band members exited the club. During this time there was a black Chevelle or similar car (with Crager mag wheels) parked right in front, and some folks were leaning against it. Eventually Bruce came out the front door and signed autographs (and I still have mine). Amazingly, Bruce then walked around to the driver's door of the car and was getting in - it was his car! Even more amazingly, one kid yelled "hey Bruce, how about a ride home!" And Bruce said - "Sure, hop in!" And the kid did, and the two drove off, with Bruce giving him a ride home. (This story was documented the next day in the Daily Register newspaper, the long time local Red Bank paper).
Bruce Springsteen just single handedly put every other celebrity to shame with one story. What a legend. He seems like a real sweetheart too.
I love how eveytime Springsteen's speaks it just sounds like a song lyric even if it is as ridiculous as "And so around midnight I was sitting in a little house in St Louis having some eggs with this kid and his mom" you can already hear tune playing.
Ikr.... I was kinda waiting for a band to start playing after he begun😂
So true. He is a gifted story teller who also plays music. After being a fan since I was twelve years old, now 48, I am going to see him play live next year. Excited is an understatement.
He has a cadence and rhythm when he speaks, probably from writing so many songs over the years.
So true. Only saw Bruce once ~ 1985 Brisbane. So wonderful 🎉
This is one of the coolest stories in Rock-N-Roll history.
ESPECIALLY because he left out the part about the kid being diabetic and later deceased. We can read it above.
There is only ONE Bruce Springsteen.... In a world that needs many more... be kind to everyone you meet
Bruce has never put himself above others despite his celebrity - he knows if it weren't for his fans, he wouldn't have gone as far as he has.
.. and that's why Bruce is the best. Period.
Agreed! ❤
That folks, is a rock and roll story for the ages. Thank you, Bruce, for your kindness and generosity in making a lifelong memory for these folks!
Bruce was fibbing also he’ll rot in hell for his clot shot promoting
What the hell are you talking about? It was on the news.@@michaelwalsh9145
@@michaelwalsh9145 LMFAO, he's a better human being than you in every way imaginable
Before I went into the Marines back in 85 I decided I was going to meet Bruce. I drove to his house in Rumson and knocked on his door. He actually invited me into his kitchen to sign my books. He wrote from the halls of Montezuma to the Jersey shore... Bruce
Bruce is a world's treasure. We must protect him at all cost!
The best part of the story is that they maintain their friendship
tha boy in tha story passed in 2003
@@hoss-lk4bg but he apparently kept visiting the mum
Just another of the many reasons I love Bruce and am a lifelong fan, he just continues to be such an amazing human, so talented and always so very kind to his fans. We are lucky to be alive during his lifetime and I'm so very thankful for him!!
Love Bruce and his story. There is mutual love between Bruce and his fans. You can feel it at each of his concerts. Bruce is one of our greatest musical treasures!
Omg I love this man!! He’s so down to earth and kind.
Bruce Springteen is epic.
It’s not easy to be humble in general. Even harder when you’ve hit fame and success as Bruce has. Guy is honestly a legend. I sure as hell wouldn’t have done the same thing
Bravo Mr. Springsteen. You are great man.
And Thats why he is THE BOSS never be another Bruce
Would not believe it with most any other artist, but this is vintage Bruce. Great story!
I've been at several Springsteen concerts, one in Dublin, one in London and two in the US. None of them ended on time, they all over ran way past their finish time. Talk about putting your heart into it!😊
I don´t know many (famous) people who could have done (or can do) this. That´s why Bruce is so loved by his fans: beyond his music and his (amazing) concerts, he is very kind. And I could see that at the Cape City airport in 2014. I keep those pictures with him as true treasures. Thanks a lot Boss!
How many famous people do you know? I mean know ..so you have the ability to judge them this way
What a wonderful story and how many stars would even think of doing what Bruce did.Respect 👌
Truly kind and generous... "Back in the 80's" of course. Great story but sadly not something I think anyone famous could do today.
This man always blows me away. His humanity. His eloquence. Going to look up his chats with Obama and watch that.
A true legend don't give a f*** about being a legend, that's why he is the legend he is.
Bruce, doing celebrity the right way!
If there's anyone out there wants a lesson in how to be cool, you got it right there from the best in the business.
the fan was steven satanovsky and it happened in 1980
steve passed away in 2003
bruce kept visiting steves mom every time he was in or around st louis
That's actually a pretty wholesome story
"Ok" can make all the difference.
This is simply sub zero cool❣️ An actual Boss🎤🎸
I remember reading about this encounter in Backstreets Magazine years ago. It's funny to hear him actually tell the story.
I just love that the mum made eggs. It seems like such a mum thing to do. Here in the Uk it would be yes or coffee and possibly a cake 😂
Bruce is the best.
and that's what make Bruce Springsteen, THE BOSS!!
I worked as a hotel doorman one year and the Springsteens were regulars in the restaurant, so I often got the car for him. One day I called him Boss and caught myself and asked if it was okay to call him that. He asked my name and then used it and said "Sure, you can call me Boss." After that I always called him Boss and he always remembered my name when chatting with me.
And that's why this Bruce is the one and the only Bruce.
Wow. Now that's a lovely story. ❤
This is really heartwarming ❤
Well that's one way to meet the parents. LoL
This is like how every fans dream of an interaction with their favorite celebrity will go. This may be the only example of it in the history of celebrity. Even if the celeb did continue the interaction for years, the fan would probably ruin it at some point by posting their interactions on social media or selling some to the tabloids.
P.S. If I ever bump into David Spade, I hope he invites me over to his place to watch UFC with him and his comedy buddies.
That's a solid man right there🤙
This guys got no ego at all! He messaged me back about doing a session for this platform sometime in the future 💚 Was a beautiful moment ✨ #ComingSoon
What a beautiful story and thing to do ❤❤
That was awesome!!!!
..and that is why he is The Boss.
I love him.
Notice, as the story starts, many on the dais were saying a different version of, "You didn't do it, did you?" And that's why everyone today is so lonely and craving connection. Deep down, we want meaningful relationships but we're too terrified to engage the process or trust what life puts in our path. No, I won't sit with you. No, I won't pick up when you call. No, I won't actually accept your invitation. No, I won't share in what you're offering. I'm not saying people should naively get themselves into dangerous situations. But say YES every now and then.
That’s The Boss for ya.
Wow! That's an amazing story.
Bruce and Bono in the same series, that's pretty impressive
Adorabile Bruce ...amo quest'uomo....🥰👩❤️💋👩🤗😍😘❤️💕💋💯
Bruce!!! My man!!!!!!
Great story!
Now that is a great story, WOW!
Speeches again with this man
solid human
One of the greatest.
Just a lovely man❤
That was such a cool story!
That is awesome.
What a great story!
Bruce "IS" the Boss
And just another reason why he’s the Boss
You know what... That is F'n awesome.
he just teached a big lesson to everybody there(any bruce fan knows this story)
He just TAUGHT a big lesson... and that's YOU'RE lesson.
@@mrfester42 "your"
@@beachplumb guess the student was just taught by the teacher...lol Don't you just love how the grammar police love to correct others and in the process show that they've missed a lesson or two as well...lol
This story about and coming from Bruce Sprinsteen is not surprising.
I love this man❤
They’re really questioning why a rockstar in the 80s was easily saying yes to everything? 💀🤣
I wouldn't call him an 80s rock star. He released his first album in 1973. He's beyond the 80s "rock star" persona you imply. He's also famously never done drugs and never drank until he was 22. Don't lump him in with the hair metal bands of the 80s (whom I also love).
@@markiefufu Who said anything about hair metal?
dang he looks good

The Boss is still on FIRE 🔥
🐐 ❤
Those must have been extraordinary eggs!
As m y grandmother used to say, "Them's what don't ask, don't get."
The Boss
And that is why the Boss is the Boss 🇮🇪💚☘️🇺🇲🍀🇺🇲🇮🇪💚🇮🇪
Bruce is already a living LEGEND 👍
Some stars are just ordinary awesome people. Ringo Star, visited my friends family in Burnaby BC, on an invite.
epic glory days moment
Good story. He was always pretty loyal to his fans, though he charges way too much for tickets now. I only got to see him once, in the mid 1980's at the Orange Bowl in Miami, and he left it ALL on the stage. Born in the USA tour.
He doesn't set the prices!
"He" doesn't charge anything. Blame the concert promoters, not the artists.
Do you think he sets the prices?
It's Live Nation or similar promotors who set the ticket prices.
This is why they call him the boss.
Doesnt hurt to be nice....all around.
No wonder he’s The Boss.
🙌🏻
What a story.....
In San Sebastián Basque Country (let's say Spain) Bruce came to a restaurant with family, friends and a smole part of the tour crew.
The restaurant as two floors and on the lower floor was a random guy celebrating his birthday. This random guy came to San Sebastian to attend at the Bruce and E street concert and he was listening to Bruce music on his brithday (like we all the tramps love to do)
If you know just a little Bruce stories with his fans, you don't need to finish this story, but just in case, yes they were toquether and Bruce sang to the random guy, the most beautiful "happy birthday" ever sang.
Michael Barrymore’s looking well
That's a wild and fantastic fan story! But, I wonder if after that first meeting Springsteen was by himself or he'd brought other bandmembers with him to meet the family.
He went to the theater by himself.
@@daveidmarx8296 believe they understood the first meeting he was at the theater by himself on a night off from touring. What they were wondering was if perhaps on other times he happened to be in St.Louis and looked them up if he ever brought some of the other members of The E Street Band with him,that would've been awesome as well.
Well thats how you did it back in the good old days. Would be crazy today....every paparazzi would be there
True, Bruce would be wary of the fan's motives now and wouldn't. He could have a real low key moment back then, but it would be unlikely now. The fan would likely post about it (and try to get photos and/or videos) all over social media.
Everybody would just take out their phone rather than talk to him like a human being. That is probably why he liked this family enough to stay in touch.
@Bruce Springsteen
That you did not you troll....
I LIVE in St Louis, am 63 yrs old and have never heard of this story, I mean locally,,,, wow what a fantastic story.......I can't tell but I think Bruce has an underbite...I had one too, got it fixed in the late 80s....about the time he was visiting this kid, LOL..
Did you edit out the hilarious bit?
does anyone know which episode this is?
I read a story in Rolling Stone magazine that tells this exact story except it happened in Denver. I think Bruce may have been confused because they play so many concerts across so many cities. Even Graham mentioned Denver. Google Rolling stone article about Bruce Springsteen in Denver and the articles still there. It happened in Denver!
He was a bit confused but then this news story might have gotten him back in touch with them.
m.th-cam.com/video/ezPRW1wt0NE/w-d-xo.html&ab_channel=roulette909
Bruce continued to visit them whenever he was in St Louis for decades, and continued to visit the mum after the 'kid' sadly passed away. So it's probably Rolling Stone Magazine mixing it up 😊
The boss is known in England
Life before smartphones
Now that guy is Vice Boss. If, God forbid, anything should happen to Bruce, that guy is only a heartbeat from fulfilling the duties of that office. Nice.
Little Steven might have something to say about that.
wow, great story, no one these days would do it, what a guy
