Bruce writes introduction speeches like no other. Go listen to his speeches for Creedence, Roy Orbison, U2 Jackson Browne, and the East Street Band. He paints a clear picture on what it was like for children of the 60's and 70's when we discovered these icons. He's just the friggen Boss!
-
trust Bruce Springsteen to be one of the few out there who can truly sum up and capture the true essence of Bob Dylan
-
Such a thoughtful speech by Bruce. We all owe Bob a huge debt of gratitude, which has been a huge crown of thorns for Mr. Dylan to have to wear.
-
I have been listening to Bob Dylan since 1963. I will 69 on Feb 5, 2023.He is the greatest songwriter of all time. I still listen to his songs often.
-
The fact that Dylan is a fellow Minnesotan is a point of pride for me. Easily the best songwriter to ever walk the planet
-
I think he's also the only Nobel Laureate in the Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame.
-
Bruce breaths and lives rock n roll, he loves music and rock n roll in a very passionate, genuine and talented way, truly THE BOSS
-
I've spent my music lifetime trying to explain Bob Dylan. I am not done yet. I can't explain Bob. He contains multitudes.
-
Dylan is the godfather of them all, and Bruce's intro is fine and thoughtful.
-
I've grown up listening to Dylan, Springsteen, The Stones, everyone like that, 16 now and my friends might not know who they are, hell, these bands don't know who I am, but they mean everything to me :)
-
Bob Dylan is a bridge that many have crossed. I would find it hard to believe that any artist in the Rock & Roll idiom could deny his influence.
-
A great intro that captures the sprit of an age for anyone who listens...
-
Anyway, with a final comment; this is amazing. It is fascinating to see the admiration that one legend has for another. Bruce beautifully sums up what Bob Dylan means. If you love music, you owe Dylan everything...
-
Bruce is the best writer, speaker,right along with Dylan.
-
I remember the first time I heard Bob Dylan. The track was It's Alright Ma (I'm Only Bleeding) I was in the 7th or 8th grade (currently a sophomore in college) and after hearing that song I sat back and said out loud but to myself something along the lines of "Holy shit... this guy can write" and ended up replaying that song about 4-5 more times and then followed it up by listening to that whole album (Bringing It All Back Home) from start to finish. I have been listening to Dylan ever since.
-
A great tribute from a great musician and writer. He hits the mark.
-
Elvis frees your body, Bob frees your mind.....and Bruce is the logical outcome of both !
-
We all owe Bob Dylan so much, when your down, music lifts your heart, I bet he has saved more lives than any doctor, paramedic, firefighter or suicide hotline workers combined..... Legacy he has given all the greats we cherish now we’re born from what Bruce Springsteen touched on. Thanks Mr.Dylan for warming cold hearts and the gift of perseverance and hope when we can’t see it, you let us hear it. It always means more

When Bob Dylan's Highway 61 Revisited was released with "Like a rolling Stone" for me it was a life changing song. So amazing, so iconic, so memorable and still a great thrill and pleasure to hear over the years. I was lucky enough to grow up seeing the Beatles on Ed Sullivan and hear since 1960's all the iconic great rock and roll music from then until today. For me there was two reasons to come here on Earth, beautiful women and great rock an roll music. I have a truly great collection of great rock and roll 45s, 33 lps, cassettes, cds, dvd, and lately YouTube rock and roll music. My life has been greatly blessed with great rock and roll like Bob Dylan and many others and beautiful women and also photography as I have taken 120,000 photos over the past 47 years. I still have all my great music in physical form and a real great sterio and amazing JBL 4311 Studio speakers and many Sennhieser headphones and still feel great and young as I really took care of my health for the past 30 years.

It couldn't have been better said. And no one could've said it better....
